The default value is 132.OPERANDSSpecifies the file to record accounting information.DESCRIPTIONThe la84of filter is used to filter text data for the Japanese LA84 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 la84of 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 LA84 printer. The la84of 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 LA84-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). Refer to i18n_printing(5) for information about SoftODL. 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 specify a value for the yt field, use fifo. See printcap(4) for detailed information on these fields and their associated options.NOTESThe 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 la84of 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).ERRORSThe lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log.SEE ALSOCommands: lpr(1), pr(1), lpd(8), pac(8) Files: printcap(4) Others: i18n_printing(5) la84of(8)
