la280of(8)						      System Manager's Manual							la280of(8)

NAME

       la280of - Filter for the Japanese LA280 printer

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/la280of [-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 codeset
       used  by  the printer. This value must be a valid locale name. The default value is ja_JP.deckanji.  Specifies 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 la280of filter is used to filter text data for the Japanese LA280 printer. The filter handles the device dependencies  of  the  printer
       and  performs  accounting  functions. At print job completion time, accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in
       the /etc/printcap file.

       The la280of filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can	contain  non-ASCII
       characters. The la280of filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control
       sequences for the LA280 printer.

       The la280of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For more  information  on  these
       fields, see printcap(4).

       The  LA280-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 more information about SoftODL.

       To enable the SoftODL mechanism, set the ys value in /etc/printcap to 256.  You can also set the default SoftODL database, style  and  size
       through	the odldb and odlstyle options for the ya field.  If you set the yt value, set it to fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for more informa-
       tion on these fields and associated options.

NOTES

       The lpr command supports a number of options associated with printer localization features.  The following can be  used	with  the  la280of
       filter: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size

       For more information on the lpr -A option, 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.
