psmandup - print duplex on non duplex printers


SYNOPSIS

       psmandup FILE


DESCRIPTION

       Tries to produce a version of the PostScript FILE to print
       in manual Duplex.


OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -v, --version
              display version information and exit

       -q, --quiet
              don't print informational messages

       -o, --output=FILE
              save result in FILE.  If FILE is `-', send to  std­
              out

       -n, --no-fix
              don't call fixps to fix PS problems in FILE

       -f, --front
              output  only the front pages (recto) on the regular
              tray

       -b, --back
              output only the back pages (verso)  on  the  manual
              feed tray

       Produced  output  is  meant  for PS level 2 printers which
       don't support Duplex printing, but  support  Manual  Feed.
       Once the first set of pages is printed (odd pages), manual
       feed is asked: introduce the odd pages to print  the  even
       pages on the other side.

       Because there is usually a short time out for manually fed
       jobs, you should really be next to the printer.   If  ever
       the  time  out expired, use the option -b to send only the
       missing part.

       Environment  variables  FIXPS,  PSSELECT  and  PSSET,   if
       defined, are used to find the tools.
