DESCRIPTION
The ln10jaof filter is used to filter text data for the DEClaser 2400
printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and
performs accounting functions. At print job completion times, account‐
ing records are written to the file specified by the af field in the
/etc/printcap file.
The ln10jaof filter can handle plain text files and files that have
been preprocessed by nroff. The filter translates nroff control
sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the
proper control sequences for the DEClaser 2400 printer.
The ln10jaof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the
if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For a description of these fields,
see printcap(4).
The DEClaser 2400 printer can be configured to use the software on-
demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters
(UDCs). See i18n_printing(5) for a description of SoftODL.
To enable SoftODL printing, set the ys field in /etc/printcap to 256.
You can also set the default SoftODL database, style, and size by using
the odldb and odlstyle options of the ya field. If you specify a value
for the yt field, use fifo. For more information on these fields and
associated options, refer to printcap(4).
NOTES
The lpr command supports a number of options and associated arguments
to enable localization features supported by various printers. The fol‐
lowing can be used with the ln10jaof print filter: To specify the Soft‐
ODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size
For a complete description of the -A option and its arguments, refer to
lpr(1).
ERRORS
The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file
specifies the name of the error log.
