pbmtolj - convert a PBM image to HP LaserJet format
pbmtolj [-resolution N] [-float] [-noreset] [-packbits] [-delta] [-compress] [pbmfile] [-copies N]
You can abbreviate any option to its shortest unique prefix.
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 output. 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, pamstretch, 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.
In addition to the options common to all programs based on
libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options ), pbmtolj recognizes the following command line
options:
pnmtopclxl(1), ppmtolj(1), pjtoppm(1), ppmtopj(1), ppmtopjxl(1), thinkjettopbm(1), pbm(1)
