NAME

       posttek - PostScript translator for Tektronix 4014 files

SYNOPSIS

       posttek [-c num] [-f name] [-m num] [-n num] [-o list] [-p mode] [-w num] [-x num] [-y num] [file...]

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/posttek

DESCRIPTION

       The  posttek filter translates Tektronix 4014 graphics files into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no files are
       specified, or if - is one of the input files, the standard input is read.

OPTIONS

       -c num	Print num copies of each page. By default, only one copy is printed.

       -f name	Print text using font name. Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results will be obtained only with  constant  width
		fonts. The default font is Courier.

       -m num	Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin which, by default, is located at the cen-
		ter of each page. The default magnification is	1.0.

       -n num	Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to  1.

       -o list	Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A  missing
		N1  means  the	lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The page range is an expression of logical pages rather than
		physical sheets of paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you specified a range of 4, then  two
		sheets	of  paper  would  print,  containing four page layouts. If you specified a page range of  3-4, when requesting two logical
		pages to a sheet; then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would appear on one physical sheet of paper.

       -p mode	Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is landscape.

       -w num	Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where a point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. By default, num is set  to	 0
		points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.

       -x num	Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the center of the
		page, with positive x to the right and positive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The  default  offset  is   0.0
		inches.

       -y num	Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis. Positive num moves everything up the page. The default offset is  0.0.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/forms.ps

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/ps.requests

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWpsf			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       download(1), dpost(1), postdaisy(1), postdmd(1), postio(1), postmd(1), postprint(1), postreverse(1), attributes(5)

NOTES

       The default line width is too small for write-white print engines, such as the one used by the PS-2400.
