NAME
pbmtoibm23xx - convert a PBM image to IBM 23XX printer stream

SYNOPSIS
pbmtoibm23xxx -xres=dpi -yres=dpi [slow [pbmfile ...]

Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use double
hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white
space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its
value.

DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pbmtoibm23xx reads one or more PBM files as input and writes an IBM 23XX
printer command stream to generate all the images in all the files to
Standard Output.

If you don't specify any file names, pbmtoibm23xx reads from Standard
Input.

OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pbmtoibm23xx recognizes the
following command line options:

-xres=dpi
This option specifies the horizontal resolution in dots per inch.
Valid values are 60, 120, and 240.

This option is mandatory.

-yres=dpi
This option specifies the vertical resolution in dots per inch.
Valid values are 60, 120, and 240.

This option is mandatory.

-slow Use the slower printing mode where two modes with the same reso-
lution are available. This usually produces better quality
prints. This affects only modes with horizontal resolution 120,
but might affect other modes in future versions of the program.

LIMITATIONS
There are probably better ways to control the IBM 23XX printers. Let me
know if you find any.

HISTORY
pbmtoibm23xx was new in Netpbm 10.25 (October 2004).
