Overview

This program is part of Netpbm(1) .

ppmtolj reads a PPM image as input and converts it into a color file suitable to be printed by an HP color PCL 5 printer.

Options

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), ppmtolj recognizes the following command line options:

-delta

Apply delta row compression to reduce the size of the pcl file.

-gamma int

Gamma correct the image using the integer parameter as a gamma (default 0).

-float

Suppress positioning information. The default is to write the sequence ESC&l0E to the output.

-noreset

Don't write the reset sequence to the beginning and end of the output.

-resolution

Set the required output resolution 75|100|150|300|600
