NAME

       la88of - Filter for the Japanese LA88 printer

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/la88of [-c] [-h host] [-i indent] [-l length] [-L locale] [-n login] [-w width] [accounting_file]

OPTIONS

       Prints  control	characters.   Specifies the amount of indentation. The default is no (no indentation).	Specifies the host name of the job
       owner. This name can contain Japanese characters.  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 la88of filter is used to filter text data for the LA88-J printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the	printer  and  per-
       forms  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 filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can contain	non-ASCII  charac-
       ters.   The  filter  translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences
       for the LA88 printer.

       The la88of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For  more  information  on  these
       fields, see printcap(4).

       The LA88-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). The
       i18n_printing(5) reference page describes the SoftODL mechanism.

       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 in the ya field.  If you specify a value for the yt field, use fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for more
       information on these fields and associated options.

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 la88of 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.
