The Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports 24bit color. Images of the avail‐ able 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 pixmap. ppmtomitsu will try to position 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 produce 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 function‐ ality and let you view the result on-screen, too. The S340-10 is the lowest common denomina‐ tor 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 war‐ rant a change in the program. ### -sharpness 'sharpness' designation. Default is to use the current sharpness. ### -enlarge Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge) ### -media 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 warn‐ ing: If you specify a different media than the printer currently has, the printer will wait until you put in the correct media or switch it off. ### -copy 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 It's probably a good idea to use this if your machine starts paging a lot without this option. ## REFERENCES Mitsubishi Sublimation Full Color Printer S340-10 Specifications of Parallel Interface LSP- F0232F ## SEE ALSO [ppmquant(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ppmquant/1/markdown), [pnmscale(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pnmscale/1/markdown), [ppm(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ppm/5/markdown) ## BUGS We didn't find any - yet.
