NAME

imagen − process and send files to an Imagen printer

SYNOPSIS

imagen [-num] [-nonum] [-b <linenum>] [-e <linenum>] [-asis] [-f <file>] [-d] [-P <printer>] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

Format and print files on an Imagen.  If a list of file names is specified, each file is sent to the Imagen for printing.  If the file name is ‘-’, the program’s standard input is inserted at that point in the listing.  If no file list is specified, the program’s standard input is used. 

By default, the program makes listings with line numbers. 

If any of the files end with the suffix .imp, they are assumed to contain printer commands and are passed through without modification. 

OPTIONS

All options may be specified using an unambiguous substring. 

-num The file is printed in a small font, with line numbers, and a header that has page, time, and file information in it. 

-nonum
The file is printed in a small font, with no line numbers, and a header that has page, time, and file information in it.

-b linenum
The file is printed starting with line linenum. 

-e linenum
Only the lines through linenum are printed. 

-asis The file to be printed is assumed to contain imPRESS commands and is passed through unmodified to the printer. 

-f file imagen output is routed to the specified file rather than the print spooler. 

-d imagen output is routed to standard output rather than the print spooler. 

-P printer
lpr printer name to use.  Default is “imagen”.

EXAMPLES

To make make a listing of the files “file1” and “file2”

% imagen file1 file2

SEE ALSO

lpr(1), printcap(5)

BUGS

If a filename ends with “.imp”, it is always processed in “asis” mode.  There is no way to override this.
