- LJBOOK Command Version 3.30
- -------------- Jan 21, 1991
-
-
- Purpose:
-
- LJBOOK prints text documents in a book format. There are four pages
- printed on each sheet of paper; two pages on each side of the paper. An
- HP LaserJet is required. The Y cartridge font is recommended, but any
- font capable of line printer, landscape, 8.5 point print may be used. An
- internal landscape font is available.
-
- Syntax:
-
- LJBOOK filename [output1 [output2] ]
- [/F] [/P] [/D] [/A] [/B] [/R] [/U] [/M] [/N]
- [/2] [/X] [/C]
- [/T...]
-
- Remarks:
-
- The 'filename' is required. It specifies the name of the file to be
- printed. A drive and/or path name may be used.
-
- The 'output1' and 'output2' file names are optional. If omitted, the
- standard output printer device is used, i.e. LPT1: or PRN: devices.
- If supplied, the output is written to the specfied file(s) instead
- of to the printer. Use two output names when printing to a network
- spooler or printer server. The file 'output1' contains the first side
- and the second side unless 'output2' is specified. The file 'output2'
- contains the second side.
-
- There are two pages printed on each of the two sides of the paper. Each
- side consists of a title line and up to 66 lines of 80 characters each.
-
- Eighty characters are printed on each line. If the file's lines exceed
- 80 characters, the lines are wrapped so that 80 characters are printed
- on each line until the entire file's line has been processed.
-
- TAB control characters are expanded and effect line length.
-
- A new page is started after 66 lines have been printed, or if a form
- feed (hex 0C) is encounterd. DO NOT END THE FILE WITH A FORM FEED!
-
- After the first side has been printed, remove the printed paper from the
- stacker and place it into the paper tray. The orientation of the paper
- in the tray depends on the printer model and method of stacking used.
-
- On a LaserJet Plus with the standard paper stacker, the paper is moved
- from the stacker to the tray without rotating or turning. The printer
- is reset after the file has been printed if /R is used.
-
- On a LaserJet IIP with multipurpose (MP)tray, change the output tray
- selector to the down position (so that paper goes to the face up output
- tray). After the first side is printed, change the output tray selector
- back to the up position and move the paper from the output tray to the MP
- tray without rotating or turning.

- LJBOOK Command OPTIONS Version 3.30
- -------------- Jan 21, 1991
-
-
- /A - set margins for use with A4 size paper
-
- /B - use downloaded font with ID of 1 (see below)
-
- /C - continuous printing: do not pause between the printing of side 1
- and side 2, but set manual feed on the printer so that the operator
- must change paper after printing 1. This option is intended for use
- with networked printers.
-
- /D - add the current date and time to the top of each page
-
- /F - place the file's name at the top of each page
-
- /M - print to a DeskJet printer (vmi=5.2, typeface 3)
-
- /N - skip prompt to press enter before beginning to print
-
- /P - generate page numbering and to place the page numbers at
- the top of each page
-
- /R - RESET the printer before and after printing the file
-
- /T - print supplied text on top title line of each page (see below)
-
- /U - underline the top title line
-
- /X - use duplex mode on an HP LJ II-D or III-D
-
- /2 - print on one side only, two pages on each sheet
-
-
- Specify /B to tell LJBOOK that you wish to use the internal LJBOOK font
- which prints 18 pitch, 7.68 point, bold, in landscape orientation. If
- you specify /B, LJBOOK downloads its own font and assigns a font ID of
- 1 to it. Otherwise, it is assumed that the current primary font is
- capable of 16.66 pitch, 8.5 point, landscape orientation as supplied
- | with the Y font cartridge. The /B option need be specified only for
- | the first file to be printed as long as the printer is not reset.
-
-
- Specify /T followed by up to 40 characters of text, to supply your own
- title for the top of each page. You can not use both the /f and /t
- options together. If supplied, the /T parameter must be the last one.
-
-
-
- After printing the first side, the paper should be loaded back into the
- printer such that the last page printed is on top and the LAST edge of
- the paper that came out of the printer is the FIRST edge of the paper to
- go back in.
-
- If you're spooling LJBOOK to a network printer, try using this statement:
-
- NET USE LPT1 \\[network-printer-name]
