NormalOptions
       These  are  the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are usually controlled on a per
       job basis.

       -c     Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work.

       -dduplex

              │         │               │
              │ 1   off │ 2   long edge │ 3   short edge

       -gxpixxypix
              Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600].

       -ncopies
              Number of copies [1].

       -rxresxyres
              Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].

       -ssource
              Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [7].
              │           │
              │ 1   upper │ 4   manual
              │ 2   lower │ 7   auto

       -t     Draft mode.  Every other pixel is white.

       -Jfilename
              Filename string to send to printer.

       -Uusername
              Username string to send to printer.

   PrinterTweakingOptions
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hbpl2 for a particular printer.

       -uxoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -lxoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -Lmask
              Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].
              0   don't send any logical clipping amounts
              1   only send Y clipping amount
              2   only send X clipping amount
              3   send both X and Y clipping amounts

       -P     Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output.  May be needed by some black  and  white  only
              printers, such as the HP LaserJet 1000.

       -A     AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -B     BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -Xpadlen
              Add  extra zero padding to the end of BID segments.  The default is 16 bytes.  Padding 16 bytes of
              zeroes is needed for older ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet 1000, and
              seems harmless to newer ones, such as the Minolta 2300DL.  So the default should be good  for  all
              cases.

   DebuggingOptions
       These options are used for debugging foo2hbpl2.

       -Splane
              Output  just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane.  The default
              is to output all color planes.
              1   Cyan
              2   Magenta
              3   Yellow
              4   Black

       -Dlevel
              Set Debug level [0].

foo2hbpl2  converts  Ghostscript  pbmraw,  bitcmyk, or pksmraw output formats to monochrome or color HBPL
       version 2 streams, for driving the Dell 1355, Dell C1765, Epson AcuLaser M1400,  Epson  AcuLaser  CX17NF,
       Fuji  Xerox  DocuPrint CM205, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM215, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M215, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint
       P205, Xerox Phaser 3010, Xerox Phaser 3040, Xerox WorkCentre 3045 MFP,  and  Xerox  WorkCentre  6015  MFP
       printers.

       Create a black and white ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw

              | foo2hbpl2 -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

       Create a color ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
