Page Option
By [Option] button in the print dialog, one can input the pages to be printed or use a macro to indicate the ordering of pages to be printed. This option is ignored if dviout calls an outer DVIware for printing.
Selecting [Input by User], one can input the pages to be printed. For example,
2 5 8 -23 56- 40-50
means that the pages 2, 5, 8, from the top page to the page 23, the pages from 56 to the last and the pages from 40 to 50 will be printed in this order. If P is incerted before numbers such as
P 30-60 . 90-
then the numbering of pages follows the page nombles.
P all the numbers after P are considered to be page nombles.

Selecting another one than [Input by User], the ordering of pages to be printed is determined by the selected macro under the indicated range. For example, if 4to1 is selected and Printing Two Pages per Sheet is chosen, then under the two sided printing by the printer the pages are as follows
[4,1]/[2,3] [8,5]/[6,7] ...
If the sheets are folded by the center, the pages are in the natural order. Here the number 1means the first page of the selected range.
The Page Macro to define the ordering of the pages for printing is written in a file par\*.pgm and it may be written by the user.
