Options
Following is a list of all the options:
This option . . . does this . . .
-#
copies Selects the number of copies.
-2 Sets text in two columns. The default is one
column.
-4 Prints four half-size pages per sheet (in other
words, 4-up).
-B
modulename Identifies the beginning-of-page module. You may
create a PostScript module which will be executed
before each page is formatted. Because of
PostScript’s opaque paint imaging model, marks
laid down by this module may be overwritten by the
page. A possible use might be to print
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “DRAFT” in grey letters
across each page.
-bb
ydist Sets the body bottom margin. The last line on each
page is printed at this distance from the bottom of
the page. The default is 0.5" (360 decipoints).
-C
compression Sets the compression factor for the body font. This
is a number from 1 to 500, representing the
percentage by which the font's normal character
width is compressed or expanded.
