- _p_s_2_f_a_x takes POSTSCRIPT input and generates a TIFF Class F
- image file suitable for facsimile transmission. It is
- usually invoked by the _H_y_l_a_F_A_X scheduler process, _f_a_x_q(1M).
- On Silicon Graphics' IRIX systems, this application is based
- on Adobe's Display POSTSCRIPT software. On other machines
- POSTSCRIPT imaging is typically done using the freely
- available _G_h_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t software.
-
- _p_s_2_f_a_x is actually a link (symbolic or otherwise) to the
- script appropriate for the POSTSCRIPT imaging tool. The
- link is setup when the _f_a_x_s_e_t_u_p(1M) script is run to
- configure a _H_y_l_a_F_A_X server machine for use.
-
- Input files containing POSTSCRIPT may be specified on the
- command line. If none are given, then _p_s_2_f_a_x will read from
- standard input.
-
- By default, _p_s_2_f_a_x will generate a 98 line/inch output
- document whose page width is 1728 pixels and page length is
- 297 mm (a standard A4 page at low resolution). Horizontal
- resolution is always 204 dpi. Command line options may be
- used to select alternate vertical resolution and page
- dimensions.
-
- If no filename is given, _p_s_2_f_a_x writes its output to a file
- named ppppssss....ffffaaaaxxxx; the ----oooo option can be used to specify an
- alternate filename.
-
- By default, output is compressed using the standard Group 3
- 1D-encoding scheme, with EOL codes padded to byte
- boundaries. If the ----2222 option is specified, output is
- encoded with the optional Group 3 2D-encoding scheme (EOL
- codes are still padded to byte boundaries).
-
- Note that bbbbiiiinnnn////ppppssss2222ffffaaaaxxxx is usually just a link to a shell
- script that invokes the appropriate POSTSCRIPT RIP to do the
- work.

- ----mmmm _p_a_g_e_s Set the maximum number of pages that are permitted

- ----oooo _f_i_l_e Write output to the specified _f_i_l_e instead of the
- default ppppssss....ffffaaaaxxxx filename.
-
- ----wwww _w_i_d_t_h Set the output page _w_i_d_t_h, in pixels. By default,
- pages are 1728 pixels wide.
-
- ----llll _l_e_n_g_t_h Set the output page _l_e_n_g_t_h in millimeters. By
- default, pages are 297 millimeters long.
-
- ----rrrr _v_r_e_s Set the vertical resolution, in lines/inch, at
- which to image the POSTSCRIPT.

- Before user-supplied POSTSCRIPT is passed to the POSTSCRIPT
- interpreter, a limited number of operators are defined.
- These operators are operators commonly found in a
- LaserWriter printer and (sometimes) generated by Macintosh-
- based applications.
-
- The default Display POSTSCRIPT-based execution environment
- includes support for the following fonts:
- AvantGarde-Book Helvetica-Bold Palatino-BoldItalic
- AvantGarde-BookOblique Helvetica-BoldOblique Palatino-Italic
- AvantGarde-Demi Helvetica-Narrow Palatino-Roman
- AvantGarde-DemiOblique Helvetica-Narrow-Bold StoneSerif
- Bookman-Demi Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique Symbol
- Bookman-DemiItalic Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique Tekton
- Bookman-Light Helvetica-Oblique Times-Bold
- Bookman-LightItalic Lithos-Bold Times-BoldItalic
- Courier NewCenturySchlbk-Bold Times-Italic
- Courier-Bold NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic Times-Roman
- Courier-BoldOblique NewCenturySchlbk-Italic ZapfChancery-MediumItalic
- Courier-Oblique NewCenturySchlbk-Roman ZapfDingbats
- Helvetica Palatino-Bold
- Note that this is the same set of fonts supported by the DPS
- extension to the X server.
-
- The default Ghostscript-based environment is more uncertain;
- consult the Ghostscript documentation for information on
- what fonts are available.

- Output from the Display POSTSCRIPT version of this command
- is encoded according to the Display POSTSCRIPT binary
- encoding protocol.
-
- No prebuilt bitmap fonts are currently available for the
- DPS-based imager; this would greatly improve legibility at
- low resolutions, as the rendering of outline fonts at 98 lpi
- is particularly poor.
-
- Both DPS- and Ghostscript-based versions of this program
- fail to exit with non-zero status when an invalid POSTSCRIPT
- document is processed; this makes it problematic for the
- _H_y_l_a_F_A_X queue manager to determine when a problem arises
- when preparing a job for transmission.
