| | 53 | <p><i>fax2ps</i> reads one or more <small>TIFF</small> |
| | 54 | facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of |
| | 55 | PostScript on the standard output that is suitable for |
| | 56 | printing.</p> |
| | 57 | <!-- INDENTATION --> |
| | 58 | <p>By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image |
| | 59 | dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The |
| | 60 | <b>−x</b> and <b>−y</b> options can be used to |
| | 61 | specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions |
| | 62 | (lines/inch), respectively. If the <b>−S</b> option is |
| | 63 | specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page. The |
| | 64 | default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page |
| | 65 | dimensions can be specified in inches with the |
| | 66 | <b>−W</b> and <b>−H</b> options.</p> |
| | 67 | <!-- INDENTATION --> |
| | 68 | <p>By default <i>fax2ps</i> generates PostScript for all |
| | 69 | pages in the file. The <b>−p</b> option can be used to |
| | 70 | select one or more pages from a multi-page document.</p> |
| | 71 | <!-- INDENTATION --> |
| | 72 | <p><i>fax2ps</i> generates a compressed form of PostScript |
| | 73 | that is optimized for sending pages of text to a PostScript |
| | 74 | printer attached to a host through a low-speed link (such as |
| | 75 | a serial line). Each output page is filled with white and |
| | 76 | then only the black areas are drawn. The PostScript |
| | 77 | specification of the black drawing operations is optimized |
| | 78 | by using a special font that encodes the move-draw |
| | 79 | operations required to fill the black regions on the page. |
| | 80 | This compression scheme typically results in a substantially |
| | 81 | reduced PostScript description, relative to the |
| | 82 | straightforward imaging of the page with a PostScript |
| | 83 | <i>image</i> operator. This algorithm can, however, be |
| | 84 | ineffective for continuous-tone and white-on-black images. |
| | 85 | For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send the |
| | 86 | raster bitmap image directly; see <b>tiff2ps</b>(1).</p> |
