DESCRIPTION
The la380of filter is used to filter Japanese text data for the LA380 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 la380of 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 LA380 printer. The la380of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For more information about these fields, see printcap(4). The LA380-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). For a description of the SoftODL mechanism, refer to i18n_printing(5). To enable SoftODL printing, set the ys value 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 spec- ify a value for the yt field, use fifo. Refer to printcap(4) for more information on these fields.
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 la380of 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.
