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.
