.TH HARDCOPY 1 "DWB 3.2"
.SH NAME
.B hardcopy
\- redirects output from PostScript file operators to paper
.SH SYNOPSIS
\*(mBhardcopy\f1
.OP "" options []
.OP "" files []
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B hardcopy
surrounds
.I files
with PostScript that redirects file output to paper,
and writes the results on the standard output.
If no
.I files
are specified, or if
.OP \-
is one of the input
.IR files ,
the standard input is read.
The following
.I options
are understood:
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-c num
Print
.I num
copies of each page.
By default only one copy is printed.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-f name
Print
.I files
using font
.IR name ,
which should be the name of a constant width font.
The default font is Courier.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-m num
Magnify each page by the factor
.IR num .
Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin,
which is located near the upper left corner of
each page.
The default magnification is 1.0.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-p mode
Print
.I files
in either \*(mBportrait\fP or \*(mBlandscape\fP
.IR mode .
Only the first character of
.I mode
is significant.
The default
.I mode
is \*(mBportrait\fP.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-s num
Print
.I files
using point size
.IR num .
When printing in landscape mode
.I num
is scaled by a factor that depends on the
imaging area of the device.
The default size for portrait mode is 10.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-x num
Translate the origin
.I num
inches along the positive x axis.
The default
coordinate system has the origin fixed near the
upper left corner of the page, with positive
x to the right and positive y down the page.
Positive
.I num
moves everything right.
The default offset is 0.25 inches.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-y num
Translate the origin
.I num
inches along the positive y axis.
Positive
.I num
moves text down the page.
The default offset is 0.25 inches.
.TP 0.75i
.OP \-L file
Use
.I file
as the PostScript prologue.
.br
The default is
.MR \*(dQ/hardcopy.ps .
.PP
.B hardcopy
generates paper output from data that a PostScript program
normally sends back to a host computer.
It is particularly useful for recovering data from a printer
that does not allow access to its serial port.
.SH EXAMPLES
For a list of ROM based fonts type:
.EX
echo 'FontDirectory {pop ==} forall' | hardcopy | lp \(el
.EE
To recover the version number of the PostScript interpreter:
.EX
echo 'version ==' | hardcopy -pland | lp \(el
.EE
To build and print a width table for font
.MW R
type:
.EX
trofftable -TLatin1 R | hardcopy | lp \(el
.EE
.SH WARNINGS
Results are unpredictable if the input
.I files
make changes to the graphics state.
