NAME

       g3tolj - converts a Group 3 fax file into a printable HP-PCL file

SYNOPSIS

       g3tolj  [-kludge]  [-reversebits]  [-scale N]  [-aspect N]  [-resolution 75|100|150|300]  [-compress 0|1|2]  [-pagelength N] [-duplength N]
       [g3file]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Group 3 fax file (raw or digifax) as input. If no filename is given, stdin is used.  Produces a printable HP-PCL file as output.

OPTIONS

       -kludge
	      Tells g3tolj to skip the first lines for synchronisation.

       -reversebits
	      Tells g3tolj to interpret bits least-significant first, instead of the default most-significant first.  Apparently some  fax  modems
	      do it one way and others do it the other way.  If you get a whole bunch of "invalid code" messages, try using this flag.

       -scale N
	      Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.40 will do in most cases.

       -aspect N
	      Scale  the  output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.0 will do for high resolution faxes, 2.0 will do
	      for low resolution faxes.

       -resolution 75|100|150|300
	      Selects print resolution. The default is 300.

       -compress 0|1|2
	      Selects compression method for the print output. 0 = none, 1 = rll, 2 = tiff.  The default is 0.

       -pagelength N
	      Defines the pagelength in inches, the default is 10.95. After this length a pagebreak is generated and the last part of the previous
	      page is duplicated on the next page

       -duplength N
	      Defines the length in inches that will be duplicated after a pagebreak, The default is 0.7.

       The standard for Group 3 fax is defined in CCITT Recommendation T.4.
