NAME
       pbmtolj - convert a PBM image to HP LaserJet format

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtolj [-resolution N] [-float] [-noreset] [-packbits] [-delta] [-com‐
       press] [pbmfile] [-copies N]

       You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtolj reads a PBM image as input and produces	HP  LaserJet  data  as
       output.	 You  can  send this data to a LaserJet or DeskJet printer (at
       least some of them).

       Each pixel in the input PBM image becomes one dot in the	 printed  out‐
       put.   Therefore,  you must make sure the width and height of the input
       are appropriate for the print resolution you choose and the print  area
       you  want.  E.g. if you print at 300 dpi and want the image to print as
       8 inches by 10, you must supply a PBM that is 2400 pixels wide by  3000
       pixels  high.  You can adjust the size of the input with pamscale, pam‐
       stretch, pbmreduce, or pamenlarge.

       The input may be a multi-image PBM stream.  Each input image becomes  a
       page  of output.	 But before Netpbm 10.28 (June 2005), images after the
       first one are ignored.

       Note that there is no ljtopbm tool.

OPTIONS
       -resolution
	      Specifies the resolution of the output device, in dpi.   Another
	      way to look at this is as a declaration of the resolution of the
	      input image (PBM images don't have inherent resolution).	 Typi‐
	      cal values are 75, 100, 150, 300, and 600.  The default is 75.

       -float Suppresses positioning commands.	By default, pbmtolj places the
	      sequence ESC & l 0 E in the output, which means to force the top
	      margin to zero.  With -float, pbmtolj omits that command.

       -noreset
	      Prevents	pbmtolj from writing the reset sequences to the begin‐
	      ning and end of the output file.

       -packbits
	      Enables use of TIFF packbits compression.

       -delta Enables use of delta-between-rows compression.

       -compress
	      Enables use of both TIFF packbits, and  delta-between-rows  com‐
	      pression.

       -copies
	      Specifies	 the  the  number  of  copies. The default is 1.  This
	      option controls the 'number of copies' printer control;  pbmtolj
	      generates only one copy of the image.
