PCL3OPTS(1) General Commands Manual PCL3OPTS(1) NAME pcl3opts -- determine options for the ghostscript driver pcl3 from a PCL-3+ file SYNOPSIS pcl3opts [-o output_file] [input_file ...] DESCRIPTION The command pcl3opts is intended to help in determining which options one should use when calling ghostscript using pcl3 for driving a PCL-3+ printer. It analyzes one or more PCL input_files and issues on the output_file its best guess as to which options one should specify in order to produce files using a similar configuration. The default out- put_file is standard output. If no input_files are specified, the com- mand reads from standard input. This command is mostly of interest if you have access to PCL files gen- erated by software provided by the printer's manufacturer, for example if you have a manufacturer-supplied Microsoft Windows driver for your printer. In that case you can generate a few files under Windows using different settings and let pcl3opts examine them. LIMITATIONS Note that pcl3opts cannot guarantee that the collection of options it proposes leads to a file which is understood by the printer. It can merely provide a best guess. In addition, some settings require interpretation of the page contents in order to properly translate them into options for pcl3 and some can- not reliably be derived from a PCL file at all. Finding good values for these parameters is beyond pcl3opts's capabilities. This includes LeadingEdge, SendBlackLast, Tumble and the distinction between the colour models CMY+K and CMYK.
