+.TH DIMPRESS 1 local
+.SH NAME
+dimpress \- Imagen printer filter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dimpress
+[ option ] ... [ file ] ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Dimpress
+prints
+.I files
+created by
+.IR troff (1)
+on any printer that accepts the Impress graphics and page layout
+language.
+If no
+.I file
+is mentioned, the standard input is printed.
+The following options are understood.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-o list
+Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
+.IR list .
+The list contains single numbers
+.I N
+and ranges
+.IB N1 \- N2.
+A missing
+.I N1
+means the lowest-numbered page, a missing
+.I N2
+means the highest.
+.TP 1.0i
+.B \-t
+Direct output to the standard output instead of the printer.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-x num
+Leave a margin
+.I num
+inches from the left side edge of the paper.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-y num
+Leaves a margin
+.I num
+inches down from the top of the page.
+Negative values for
+.I num
+are allowed and often useful, especially to get macro generated
+cut marks off the page.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-l
+Print the job in landscape mode.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-p num
+Set the horizontal and vetical step sizes for graphics to
+.I num
+pixels.
+If Impress graphics commands are used for drawing this option
+will only affect splines.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-P num
+Use
+.I num
+as the pixel diameter of the Impress graphics pen.
+Only useful when Impress graphics commands are being used.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-T name
+Generate output to be printed on the target printer
+.I name.
+The printers currently supported are:
+.RS 1i
+.TP .5i
+.PD 0
+.B i300
+Imagen 8/300
+.TP .5i
+.B i480
+Imagen 5/480
+.TP .5i
+.B i10
+Imagen Imprint-10 using rasti10 raster files
+.TP .5i
+.B i240
+Imagen Imprint-10 using rasti240 raster files
+.RE
+.PD 1
+.IP
+By default the output printer is assumed to be
+.I i300.
+Although
+.I i10
+and
+.I i240
+select the same target printer, namely the Imprint-10,
+the raster tables used for character generation will be
+found in different directories.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-F dir
+Use
+.I dir
+as the
+.I troff
+font directory.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-B dir
+Use
+.I dir
+as the raster table directory.
+When processing a
+.I file
+generated by
+.I troff
+for printing on device xxx
+.I dimpress
+will first look for the binary font directory devxxx
+in the raster table directory.
+If it's not found there the devxxx directory in
+.I troff's
+font directory will be used.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-R name
+Use raster tables generated for device
+.I name
+when printing
+.I file.
+By default
+.I dimpress
+will attempt to use the target printer's raster files.
+.TP 1.0i
+.BI \-f file
+Read resident font information from
+.I file
+which is located in directory /usr/lib/raster/RESIDENT.
+By default
+.I dimpress
+looks for a file in that directory that has the same
+name as the target printer.
+Useful if several otherwise identical printers
+support different sets of resident fonts.
+.PP
+The
+.I files
+should be prepared by
+.I troff.
+Best results will almost certainly be obtained only when
+.I troff
+and
+.I dimpress
+agree on the target printer.
