fax2ps reads one or more <small>TIFF</small>
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
PostScript on the standard output that is suitable for
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
printing.
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
−x and −y options can be used to
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
(lines/inch), respectively. If the −S option is
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page. The
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
dimensions can be specified in inches with the
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
−W and −H options.
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
By default fax2ps generates PostScript for all
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
pages in the file. The −p option can be used to
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
select one or more pages from a multi-page document.
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
fax2ps generates a compressed form of PostScript
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
that is optimized for sending pages of text to a PostScript
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
printer attached to a host through a low-speed link (such as
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
a serial line). Each output page is filled with white and
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
then only the black areas are drawn. The PostScript
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
specification of the black drawing operations is optimized
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
by using a special font that encodes the move-draw
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
operations required to fill the black regions on the page.
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
This compression scheme typically results in a substantially
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
reduced PostScript description, relative to the
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
straightforward imaging of the page with a PostScript
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
image operator. This algorithm can, however, be
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
ineffective for continuous-tone and white-on-black images.
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send the
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
raster bitmap image directly; see tiff2ps(1).

Some messages about malformed <small>TIFF</small> images

Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
may be generated due to transmission errors in received
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
facsimile. fax2ps attempts to recover from such data
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
errors by resynchronizing decoding at the end of the current
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
scanline. This can result in long horizontal black lines in
|
|
Packit Service |
2594b8 |
the resultant PostScript image.
