DESCRIPTION
The cp382dof filter is used to filter text data destined for the CP382
printer controller. The filter handles the device dependencies of the
printers and performs accounting functions. At the time of completion
for each print job, accounting records are written to the file speci‐
fied by the af field of the printer's entry in /etc/printcap.
The filter can handle plain ASCII and Chinese text files and files that
have been preprocessed by nroff. The cp382dof filter translates nroff
control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting
into the proper CP382 control sequences.
The cp382dof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the
if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For further information, see
printcap(4).
The CP382-D 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 more details on SoftODL.
To enable SoftODL printing, you should set the ys value in /etc/print‐
cap to 800. You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and
size by using the odldb and odlstyle options in the ya value. The yt
value, if set, should be fifo. Refer to printcap(4) for information on
setting these values.
NOTES
The lpr command supports a number of options and associated options to
specify localization features supported by various printers. The
lpr(1) reference page provides a complete list of these options and
options. The following ones can be specified for the CP382 printer
controller: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL
font style and size
RESTRICTIONS
The cp382dof filter always assumes that 4-byte characters are printed
without leading code. The printer hardware should be set as such to
avoid any formatting problems.
ERRORS
The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file
specifies the name of the error logging file.
