LJBOOK Command Version 3.20
-------------- Jan 8, 1991
Purpose:
LJBOOK prints text documents in a book format. There are four pages
printed on each sheet of paper; two pages on each side of the paper. An
HP LaserJet is required. The Y cartridge font is recommended, but any
font capable of line printer, landscape, 8.5 point print may be used. An
internal landscape font is available.
Syntax:
LJBOOK filename [output1 [output2] ]
[/F] [/P] [/D] [/A] [/B] [/R] [/U] [/M] [/N]
[/2] [/X]
[/T...]
Remarks:
The 'filename' is required. It specifies the name of the file to be
printed. A drive and/or path name may be used.
The 'output1' and 'output2' file names are optional. If omitted, the
standard output printer device is used, i.e. LPT1: or PRN: devices.
If supplied, the output is written to the specfied file(s) instead
of to the printer. Use two output names when printing to a network
spooler or printer server. The file 'output1' contains the first side
and the second side unless 'output2' is specified. The file 'output2'
contains the second side.
There are two pages printed on each of the two sides of the paper. Each
side consists of a title line and up to 66 lines of 80 characters each.
Eighty characters are printed on each line. If the file's lines exceed
80 characters, the lines are wrapped so that 80 characters are printed
on each line until the entire file's line has been processed.
TAB control characters are expanded and effect line length.
A new page is started after 66 lines have been printed, or if a form
feed (hex 0C) is encounterd. DO NOT END THE FILE WITH A FORM FEED!
After the first side has been printed, remove the printed paper from the
stacker and place it into the paper tray. The orientation of the paper
in the tray depends on the printer model and method of stacking used.
On a LaserJet Plus with the standard paper stacker, the paper is moved
from the stacker to the tray without rotating or turning. The printer
is reset after the file has been printed if /R is used.
On a LaserJet IIP with multipurpose (MP)tray, change the output tray
selector to the down position (so that paper goes to the face up output
tray). After the first side is printed, change the output tray selector
back to the up position and move the paper from the output tray to the MP
tray without rotating or turning.

the top of each page

Specify /B to tell LJBOOK that you wish to use the internal LJBOOK font
which prints 18 pitch, 7.68 point, bold, in landscape orientation. If
you specify /B, LJBOOK downloads its own font and assigns a font ID of
1 to it. Otherwise, it is assumed that the current primary font is
capable of 16.66 pitch, 8.5 point, landscape orientation as supplied
with the Y font cartridge.
Specify /T followed by up to 40 characters of text, to supply your own
title for the top of each page. You can not use both the /f and /t
options together. If supplied, the /T parameter must be the last one.
After printing the first side, the paper should be loaded back into the
printer such that the last page printed is on top and the LAST edge of
the paper that came out of the printer is the FIRST edge of the paper to
go back in.
If you're spooling LJBOOK to a network printer, try using this statement:
NET USE LPT1 \\[network-printer-name]
