NAME
       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.

NOTES
       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.
