<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>pbmpage</B>
|
|
|
|
generates a one page test pattern to print on a sheet of paper, for use in
|
|
calibrating a printer. The test pattern in is PBM format.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>pbmpage</B>
|
|
|
|
produces an image intended for 600 dots per inch printer resolution.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you are printing on an HP PPA printer, you can convert the output
|
|
of this program to a stream that you can feed to the printer with
|
|
<B>pbmtoppa</B>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Bear in mind that when you print the test pattern, you are testing not
|
|
only the printer, but any converter or driver software along the
|
|
printing path. Any one of these components may adjust margins, crop
|
|
the image, erase edges, and such.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If, due to addition of margins, the printer refuses to print the image
|
|
because it is too big, use
|
|
<B>pnmcut</B>
|
|
|
|
to cut the right and bottom edges off the test pattern until it is
|
|
small enough to print.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<I>test_pattern </I>
|
|
|
|
is the number of the test pattern to generate, as follows. The default is
|
|
<B>1</B>.
