la90of - Filter for the Japanese LA90 printer SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/la90of [-c] [-h host] [-i indent] [-l length] [-L locale] [-n login] [-w width] [accounting_file] OPTIONS
Prints control characters. Specifies the host name of the job owner. This name can contain Japanese characters. Specifies the amount of indentation. The default value is no (no indentation). Specifies the page length in lines. The default value is 66. Specifies the printer codeset. This value must be a valid locale name. The default value is ja_JP.deckanji. Specifies the login name of the job owner. This name can contain Japanese characters. Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is 132. OPERANDS
Specifies the file to record accounting information. DESCRIPTION
The la90of filter is used to filter text data for the Japanese LA90 printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and performs accounting functions. At print job completion times, accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in the /etc/printcap file. The la90of filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff. Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII characters. The filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences for the LA90 printer. The la90of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For a description of these fields, see printcap(4). The LA90-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). See i18n_printing(5) for a description of SoftODL. To enable SoftODL printing, set the ys field in /etc/printcap to 256. You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and size by using the odldb and odlstyle options of the ya field. If you specify a value for the yt field, use fifo. For more information on these fields and associated options, refer to printcap(4). NOTES
The lpr command supports a number of options and associated arguments to enable localization features supported by various printers. The following can be used with the la90of print filter: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size For a complete description of the -A option and its arguments, refer to lpr(1). ERRORS
The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log. SEE ALSO

Specifies the file to record accounting information. DESCRIPTION
The la88of filter is used to filter text data for the LA88-J printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and per- forms accounting functions. At print job completion times, accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in the /etc/printcap file. The filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff. Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII charac- ters. The filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences for the LA88 printer.

The LA88-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). The i18n_printing(5) reference page describes the SoftODL mechanism. To enable SoftODL printing, set the ys field in /etc/printcap to 256. You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and size by using the odldb and odlstyle options in the ya field. If you specify a value for the yt field, use fifo.
