You can send this data to a LaserJet or DeskJet printer +(at least some of them). + +<p>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 <b>pamscale</b>, <b>pamstretch</b>, <b>pbmreduce</b>, or +<b>pamenlarge</b>. + +<p>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. + +<p>Note that there is no ljtopbm tool. + +<A NAME="lbAE"> </A> +<H2>OPTIONS</H2> + +<DL COMPACT> +<DT><B>-resolution</B> + +<DD>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). Typical values are +75, 100, 150, 300, and 600. The default is 75. + +<DT><B>-float</B> + +<DD>Suppresses positioning commands. By default, <b>pbmtolj</b> +places the sequence <I>ESC & l 0 E</I> in the output, which means +to force the top margin to zero. With <b>-float</b>, <b>pbmtolj</b> +omits that command. + +<DT><B>-noreset</B> + +<DD>Prevents pbmtolj from writing the reset sequences to the beginning +and end of the output file. + +<DT><B>-packbits</B> + +<DD>Enables use of TIFF packbits compression. + +<DT><B>-delta</B> + +<DD>Enables use of delta-between-rows compression. + +<DT><B>-compress</B> + +<DD>Enables use of both TIFF packbits, and delta-between-rows compression. + +<DT><B>-copies</B> + +<DD>Specifies the the number of copies. The default is 1.
