TCPRFORMS(5) COMMAND REFERENCE TCPRFORMS(5)
NAME
tcprforms - TCPR valid forms file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/tcpr/tcprforms
DESCRIPTION
The file /usr/lib/tcpr/tcprforms is used by the tcpr
(Tektronix color printer) commands to determine the valid
media forms and sizes for Tektronix color printers.
The tcprforms file contains any number of line entries of
the form:
<printer_type> <media_name> <media_type> <width>
<length> <width_dpi> <length_dpi> <alias>
[<alias> ... ]
The printer_type field is a string that matches the value
field of a Generic Rastor Format (GRF) destination_device,
copier_type or printer_type GRF tag. If all GRF tags are
supported, then each forms type for a printer has three
entries in the file. For the GRF tag destination_device
legal value fields are: 4692, 4693d, and 4696 representing
the Tektronix 4692, 4693D, and 4696 color printers.
copier_type legal value fields are: copier_4692,
copier_4693d, and copier_4696. printer_type legal value
fields are: printer_4692, printer_4693d, and printer_4696.
Note: copier_type, and printer_type have been replaced by
the more generic destination_device tag and should be
avoided.
For more information on GRF tags see grf(5).
The media_name field is an identifier string for media type,
such as a, a4_special, or legal.
The media_type field is an identifier string for the forms
type. Valid values are: paper or transparency.
The width and length fields contain the width and length of
the media in inches or millimeters. If the field is inches
a suffix of '"' must be appended and if millimeters a suffix
of 'mm' must be appended.
The width_dpi and length_dpi fields contain the width and
length of the media in dots per inch and contain the maximum
addressability for the given printer type and media.
The next fields are a set of one or more aliases for the
forms in the tcprforms file. Each alias field must be a

string of one to eight characters, a requirement of the MDQS
spooling system. If the forms are found in the table by the
media_name then an alias must be entered that matches the
media_name field. The media_name field can be no more than
eight characters.
Every printer should have a media type aliased to default
that represents the default print media of the printer.
This allows users to send GRF images to printers without
knowing the specifics of what forms are loaded.
The '#' character is the comment character. All characters
after the comment character including the next newline
character are ignored when the file is searched.
EXAMPLES
This example shows two possible entries for A-size paper
media for the Tektronix 4693D color printer. The media can
be found in the tcprforms file by either the copier_4693d or
printer_4693d value field. The media is identified by the
following set of aliases: default, a, and a_p.
4693d a paper 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 default a a_p
4693d a paper 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 default a a_p
This example shows an entry for A-size transparency media on
the Tektronix 4693D color printer. The media is identified
by the following set of aliases: a_t, and trans.
4693d a transparency 8.5" 11.0" 2440 2492 a_t trans
This example shows an entry for A4-size media that specifies
width and length in millimeters instead of inches.
4693d a4 transparency 210mm 297mm 2368 2700 a4_t
