       [-sharpness val]

       [-enlarge val]

       [-media string]

       [-tiny]

       [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmtomitsu  reads  a  PPM  image as input and converts it into a format
       suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10 printer,	or  any	 other
       Mitsubishi color sublimation printer.

       The  Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports 24bit color.
       Images of the available sizes take so long to transfer that there is  a
       fast method, employing a lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will use if there
       is a maximum of 256 colors in the image.	 ppmtomitsu will try to	 posi‐
       tion  your image to the center of the paper, and will rotate your image
       for you if xsize is larger than ysize.  If your image  is  larger  than
       the  media  allows,  ppmtomitsu	will  quit  with an error message. (We
       decided that the media were too expensive to have careless  users  pro‐
       duce  misprints.)  Once data transmission has started, the job can't be
       stopped in a sane way  without  resetting  the  printer.	  The  printer
       understands  putting together images in the printers memory; ppmtomitsu
       doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide the same  functionality  and
       let you view the result on-screen, too.	The S340-10 is the lowest com‐
       mon denominator printer; for higher  resolution	printers  there's  the
       dpi300  option.	The  other  printers  also  support  higher values for
       enlarge eg, but I don't think that's  essential	enough	to  warrant  a
       change in the program.

OPTIONS
       -sharpness 1-4
	      'sharpness'  designation.	 Default is  to use the current sharp‐
	      ness.

       -enlarge 1-3
	      Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)

       -media {A|A4|AS|A4S}
	      Designate the media you're using.	 Default is 1184 x 1350, which
	      will  fit on any media.  A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x 1452, AS
	      is 1216 x 1650 and A4S is 1184 x 1754.  A warning: If you	 spec‐
	      ify  a  different	 media	than  the  printer  currently has, the
	      printer will wait until you put in the correct media  or	switch
	      it off.

       -copy 1-9
	      The number of copies to produce.	Default is 1.

       -dpi300
	      Double  the  number  of allowed pixels for a S3600-30 Printer in
	      S340-10 compatibility mode.  (The S3600-30 has 300 dpi).

       -tiny  Memory-safing, but always slow. The printer will	get  the  data
	      line-by-line  in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use this if
	      your machine starts paging a lot without this option.
