\&\fBdvilj\fR and siblings convert TeX-output \f(CW\*(C`.dvi\*(C'\fR files into \s-1PCL \s0(the
Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language) commands suitable for
printing on a \s-1HP\s0 LaserJet+, \s-1HP\s0 LaserJet \s-1IIP \s0(using \fBdvilj2p\fR), \s-1HP\s0
LaserJet 4 (using \fBdvilj4\fR), and fully compatible printers.
.PP
\&\fBdvilj4\fR also provides support for the builtin Intellifont and
TrueType fonts; \s-1TFM\s0 and \s-1VF\s0 files are provided in the distribution.
Virtual fonts are not supported directly by \fBdvilj\fR, so you must run
\&\fIdvicopy\fR\|(1) first, or otherwise expand the virtual fonts
.PP
All programs are generated from one source file \fIdvi2xx.c\fR. They are
usually called via a shell script or as a line printer filter. One
such script, \fIdvihp\fR\|(1), is included in the distribution. It provides
command-line options similar to those of \fIdvips\fR\|(1).
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-\-D\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "--Dnumber"
Debug according to the bits of \fInumber\fR; see the \fIkpathsea\fR\|(3) manual
for values. Also turns on general verbosity.
.IP "\fB\-c\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cnumber"
Print each page \fInumber\fR times (including original)
.IP "\fB\-d\fR\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dnumber"
print in duplex mode. The option \fB\-d1\fR means long edge binding,
\&\fB\-d2\fR stands for short edge binding. This option is only selectable
in \fBdvilj4\fR and \fBdvilj2p\fR.
.IP "\fB\-D\fR\fI[\-12]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-D[-12]"
Double-sided printing \- see below; \fB\-D1\fR prints odd sides only,
\&\fB\-D2\fR is for even pages, a trailing \fB\-\fR suppresses printing of empty
padding pages.
.IP "\fB\-E\fR" 4
.IX Item "-E"
Switch printer into econo mode (\fBdvilj4\fR only).
.IP "\fB\-e\fR\fIoutfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "-eoutfile"
Send output to \fIoutfile\fR instead of the basename of dvi file extended
with \f(CW\*(C`.lj\*(C'\fR. If outfile is \fB\-\fR (as in \f(CW\*(C`\-e\-\*(C'\fR) the output is directed
to standard output and can be directly piped into a spooler.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR\fIpagenum\fR" 4
.IX Item "-fpagenum"
Print pages with TeX page numbers greater than or equal to \fIpagenum\fR.
.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4
.IX Item "-g"
\&\fIGo\fR mode: do not reset printer at start of job.
.IP "\fB\-h\fR\fIheaderfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "-hheaderfile"
Copy \fIheaderfile\fR to output before translation of the \s-1DVI\s0 file. Used
to send arbitrary commands to the laserprinter.
.IP "\fB\-l\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l"
Print output in landscape mode; supported only by \fBdvilj2p\fR and
\&\fBdvilj4\fR.
.IP "\fB\-M\fR\fIflag\fR" 4
.IX Item "-Mflag"
Do (not) call \fImktexpk\fR\|(1) to generate fonts on demand. \fB\-M1\fR and \fB\-M\fR
are equivalent. \fB\-M0\fR enables invoking \fImktexpk\fR\|(1). (This is the same
as in \fIdvips\fR\|(1).) The default behavior (i.e., if no \fB\-M\fR option is
given) is chosen at compile-time; as distributed, mktexpk is enabled.
.IP "\fB\-m\fR\fImagnification\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mmagnification"
Specify the magnification to use. The following are available:

\&\fBPlease note: The specific semantics of this special is not known.\fR
In particular, the \fBrwi\fR parameter is some scale factor; but even
looking at the source code it is not quite clear what the special's
author intended to implement here. In addition, it is unclear what
dimensions are used to specify the corners, Postscript points or \s-1PCL\s0
dots.

where \fIsyntax\fR is either \f(CW\*(C`dvilj\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ignore\*(C'\fR. This is a very crude
way to tell the driver what to do with \fBpsfile\fR specials.

afterwards are ignored, until the next \fBdvilj-psfile-syntax\fR special is
processed.

If the value is \f(CW\*(C`dvilj\*(C'\fR, \fBpsfiles\fR specials are processed as

.Sp
An obvious, planned, extension is the value \f(CW\*(C`dvips\*(C'\fR, but this has not
been implemented yet.
.Sp
That special is not as simple as it sounds at first. Since its
semantics is defined by processing order, it is only of use if it is
placed on the same page as the \fBpsfile\fR special. Having it once in a
file (e.g., on the first page) does not help if you print just one
page of the document \*(-- \fBdvilj\fR does not do prescanning of first-page
specials like some other drivers do. (Patches would be welcome, of
course.)

This causes the rest of the special to be ignored; it may be used to
add meta-information to a \s-1DVI\s0 file.
.Sp
With the first form, the comment may appear anywhere in the special.
When it appears first, the processing of this special is terminated
and all other text behind is ignored.
.Sp
The second form is a speciality that has been introduced for
compatibility with other drivers. If the first keyword of the special

too; the rest of the special is ignored.

the \s-1DVI\s0 page origin; i.e., coordinates increase moving right and down,
the point of origin is (1in,1in) in the upper left corner, altered by

.Sp
Caveat: That special is actually a misnomer. \s-1PCL\s0 names these gray
scales \fIshading patterns\fR and they are created by placing dots in the
area. The gray scale selects how far spread the dots are. In the lower
ranges, this doesn't look very gray on close sight, but more like a
dotted background. Furthermore, the gray scales are not as
fine-grained as the value range 0..100 might make you believe. In
reality, there are only 8 different gray patterns available:
.Sp

This is a legacy special, its use is depreciated. If the special is
just one word that names an existing file, that file is verbatim
included. Contrary to other file inclusion means, the file is not
searched with \fIkpathsea\fR\|(3). \fIYou are not supposed to use this special
and we won't fix any problems with it.\fR
.PP
It should be noted that the special parser does sometimes accept
constructs that are not valid as in the documentation above. Then, the
output is most often damaged in some way.
.SS "Searching for Included Files"
.IX Subsection "Searching for Included Files"
Proper file include specials search the file with \fIkpathsea\fR\|(3). The
search path is configured by variable \f(CW\*(C`DVILJINPUTS\*(C'\fR and, if the file

.PP
Search via \f(CW\*(C`DVILJINPUTS\*(C'\fR covers the use case that one has common
site-wide graphics that shall be included in documents, e.g., scanned
signatures. Search via \f(CW\*(C`TEXINPUTS\*(C'\fR covers the use case that one has
graphics as part of ones current document.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`dvilj\*(C'\fR is used as the \f(CW\*(C`.PROGRAM\*(C'\fR name in \fItexmf.cnf\fR, for all
driver variants, independent of the actual program name.

.IX Subsection "Unknown Specials and TEX_HUSH configuration"
\&\fIKpathsea\fR\|(3) has the concept of warning suppression with the

\&\fITeX support / Suppressing warnings\fR. That variable holds a
colon-separated identifiers that specifies the to-be-suppressed
warnings.
.PP
If \f(CW\*(C`special\*(C'\fR is among the listed values, \fBdvilj\fR does not output
warnings any more about specials that it doesn't know about. But if
there is a recognized special and if that special has an invalid
parameter, then a warning is output nevertheless, independent of the
content of \f(CW\*(C`TEX_HUSH\*(C'\fR.
.SH "DOUBLE PAGE PRINTING"
.IX Header "DOUBLE PAGE PRINTING"
If the printer has a duplex unit installed, duplex printing can be
demanded with the \fB\-d\fR option.
.PP
Otherwise, the command line option \fB\-D\fR causes the printer to print
in doublepage mode, that is, roughly speaking, printing first the even
pages and then the odd pages of a document. If \fB\-D\fR is used to print
both even and odd pages (\fB\-D\fR is used without the optional 1 or 2)
the following will happen after half of the pages is printed: \s-1LJ:\s0 the
printer stops, shows message \*(L"\s-1FEED\*(R"\s0 and switches on manual feed led.
The printer continues when either the printed pages are fed into the
manual page feeder, or the operator pushes the continue button (after
placing first the printed pages into the paper tray).
.PP
If \fB\-D1\fR was specified only odd pages will be printed, \fB\-D2\fR can be
used for even pages. A trailing \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR (as in \fB\-D\-\fR, \fB\-D1\-\fR or
\&\fB\-D2\-\fR) supresses printing of empty pages which are generated for
padding otherwise.
.PP
The driver allows the \fB\-D\fR option for both print-directions
(front-to-back or back-to-front printing). It tries to be clever in
certain cases: when a document has an odd number of pages it inserts
in the right place an empty page when a document starts with page 0
the driver inserts an empty page after the 0\-page when a piece of a
document is printed that starts with an even page-number it prints
this page at the backside of the first page to ensure that the odd
sides are always on the frontside. The 0\-page is treated like an odd
page.
.PP
The doubleside option works for all LJs, not only for the new D model
with does doubleside-printing (actually, I don't know whether it makes
much sense on the new \s-1LJ II D\s0 at all).
.PP
Caveat on the doubleside-option: When it is used frequently or on very
large files, it might become necessary to clean the printer much more
frequently.
.PP
The command line option \fB\-p\fR\fIX\fR can be used to abort printing after
the output of \fIX\fR pages (can lead to strange results together with
\&\fB\-D\fR). I personally dislike this option. The secure way of printing a
part of a document is using \fB\-f\fR (from) and \fB\-t\fR (to).
