NAME
       pbmtolj - convert a portable bitmap into HP LaserJet format


SYNOPSIS
       pbmtolj  [-resolution  N]  [-float]  [-noreset]  [-packbits]  [-delta]  [-compress] [pbmfile]
       [-copies N]


DESCRIPTION
       Reads a PBM image as input.  Produces HP LaserJet data as output.

       Note that there is no ljtopbm tool.


OPTIONS
       -resolution
              Specifies the resolution of the output device, in dpi.  Typical values  are  75,  100,
              150, 300, and 600.  The default is 75.

       -float Suppresses  positioning information.  The default is to write the sequence ESC & l 0 E
              to the output file.

       -noreset
              Prevents pbmtolj from writing the reset sequences to the beginning and end of the out‐
              put 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 compression.

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

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
