Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work.
- -d duplex
Duplex code to send to printer [1].
1 off 2 long edge 3 short edge - -g xpixxypix
Set page dimensions in pixels [10200x6600].
- -m media
Media code to send to printer [0].

Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2qpdl for a particular printer.
- -a b,c,s,cr,mg,yb
Color Adjust: brightness, contrast, saturation, cyan-red balance, magenta-green balance, and yellow-blue balance from 0 to 100. The default is 50,50,50,50,50,50. This only works when the -z3 (e.g. CLP-365) model is set!
- -u xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -l xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -L mask
Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the QPDL stream [3].
0 don't send any logical clipping amounts 1 only send Y clipping amount 2 only send X clipping amount 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts - -A
AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input only.
- -B
BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.
- -z model
Printer model. Model 0 is the default.
model Description 0 CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160 1 CLP-600 2 CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175 3 CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365
Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl.
- -S plane
Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
1 Cyan 2 Magenta 3 Yellow 4 Black - -D level
Set Debug level [0].
Examples
