jprconv - Filter for printing Japanese text on a dot-matrix Kanji printer or Japanese language page printer SYNOPSIS
jprconv [-T terminfo] [-r ] /usr/lib/lp/text/jprconv AVAILABILITY
SUNWjfpu DESCRIPTION
jprconv is a filter for printing Japanese text on a dot-matrix Kanji printer (EPSON VP-5085 or NEC PC-PR201) or Japanese language page printer (Canon LASERSHOT). Control codes for each printer are as follows: +-----------------------+-----------------------------------+ |Database |Control code | |EPSON VP-5085 |ESC/P24-J84 of EPSON ESC/P | |NEC PR201 |NEC 201PL | |Canon LASERSHOT |LIPS-complied control code | +-----------------------+-----------------------------------+ If the above control codes are supported, Japanese text can be printed on another printer. jprconv reads Japanese characters from the standard input, converts them to each control code, and writes to the standard output. If the input character code includes any user-defined characters, JIS X 0212, IBM Extended characters, or NEC-selective IBM Extended characters, these fonts are also printed. For the other characters, fonts installed on the printer are used. You can use sdtudctool to define user-specific characters (see sdtudctool(1)). To print JIS X 0212, IBM Extended characters, or NEC-selec- tive IBM Extended characters, the SUNWjcs3f package is also needed. OPTIONS
-T Specifies to use terminfo database. Any one of the following must be spefified. canon-ls-408 In case of LIPS format nec-pr201 In case of NEC 201PL format epson-vp5085 In case of ESC/P24-J84 format -r Does not convert NL to CR-NL when printing. By default it is converted. EXAMPLES
To print file1 in the ESC/P24-J84 format, type: example% jprconv -T epson-vp5085 < file1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
To run this command, the locale must be set to ja, ja_JP.PCK or ja_JP.UTF-8. FILES

In general, it is not necessary to use the jprconv because jprconv is used as a filter on the printer server side. For the setting on the printer server side, see Japanese Environment User's Guide. Only Japanese characters are printable in the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale. SunOS 5.10 10 Jan 2003 jprconv(1)

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
