              Seascape    -os   (rotated 90 degrees clockwise)

   PrinterTweakingOptions
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2oak for a particular printer.

       -uxoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels  [varies
              with  paper size].  The defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on
              any other printers.

       -lxoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in  pixels  [varies
              with  paper size].  The defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on
              any other printers.

       -Lmask
              Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in  the  OAKT  stream.   foo2oak-wrapper  always  runs
              Ghostscript  with the ideal page dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
              whether or not the printer has unprintable regions.  This option is used to move the  position  of
              the  clipped  image back to where it belongs on the page.  The default is to send the amount which
              was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
              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

       -zmodel
              Model is 0 for the HP Color LaserJet 1500, and 1 for the  Kyocera  KM-1635/KM-2035  copiers.   The
              default is 0.

   ColorTweakingOptions
       These  are the options used to control the quality of color output.  Color correction is currently a WORK
       IN PROGRESS.

       -ggsopts
              Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as  -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”,  etc.   This  option  may
              appear more than once.

       -Gprofile.icm
              Convert  profile.icm  to  a  Postscript  color rendering dictionary (CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and
              adjust the printer colors by using the Postscript setcolorrendering operator.  (WORK IN PROGRESS).

       -Ggamma-file.ps
              Prepend  gamma-file.ps  to  the  Postscript  input  to  perform   color   correction   using   the
              setcolortransfer Postscript operator.  For example, the file might contain:
              {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer

       -Iintent
              Select  profile intent from the ICM file.  0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute.
              Default is 0 (perceptual).

   DebuggingOptions
       These options are used for debugging foo2oak and its wrapper.

       -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].

Description

foo2oak-wrapper  is  a  Foomatic  compatible printer wrapper for the foo2oak printer driver.  This script
       reads a Postscript ps-file or standard input and converts it to Oak Technology OAKT  printer  format  for
       driving  the  HP Color LaserJet 1500 laser printer, Kyocera KM-1636/KM-2035 copiers, and other OAKT-based
       printers.

       This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be  called  from  a  printer  spooler
       system which uses the Foomatic printer database.

Examples

       Create  a  monochrome  OAKT  stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW
       print queue:

              foo2oak-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.oak
              oakdecode < testpage.oak
              lpr -P raw testpage.oak

       Create a color OAKT stream from a Postscript document:

              foo2oak-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.oak
