g3tolj - converts a Group 3 fax file into a printable HP-PCL file
SYNOPSIS
g3tolj [ g3file ]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a Group 3 fax file (raw or digifax) as input. If no filename is
given, stdin is used.
Produces a printable HP-PCL file as output.
OPTIONS
-kludge
Tells
g3tolj to skip the first lines for synchronisation.
-reversebits
Tells
g3tolj to interpret bits least-significant
first, instead of the default most-significant first.
Apparently some fax modems do it one way and others do it the other way.
If you get a whole bunch of "invalid code" messages, try using this
flag.
-scale N
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default
of 1.40 will do in most cases.
-aspect N
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default
of 1.0 will do for high resolution faxes, 2.0 will do for low resolution faxes.
-resolution 75|100|150|300
Selects print resolution. The default is 300.
-compress 0|1|2
Selects compression method for the print output. 0 = none, 1 = rll, 2 = tiff.
The default is 0.
-pagelength N
Defines the pagelength in inches, the default is 10.95. After this length a
pagebreak is generated and the last part of the previous page is duplicated
on the next page
-duplength N
Defines the length in inches that will be duplicated after a pagebreak, The
default is 0.7.
