    NAME
         mpage - print multiple pages per sheet on PostScript printer
    
    
    SYNOPSIS
         mpage        [-1248aAcEfHloOrRStUvxX]         [-b papersize]
         [-B[num[lrtb]*]   [-C  [encoding]]  [-da|p]  [-D dateformat]
         [-F fontname]    [-h header]    [-j first[-last][%interval]]
         [-L lines]   [-m[num[lrtb]*]   [-M[num[lrtb]*]  [-p[prprog]]
         [-P[printer]]    [-s tabstop]    [-W width]    [-z printcmd]
         [-Z printcmd_args] [file...]]
    
    
    
    DESCRIPTION
         mpage reads plain text files  or  PostScript  documents  and
         prints them on a PostScript printer with the text reduced in
         size so that several pages appear on  one  sheet  of  paper.
         This is useful for viewing large printouts on a small amount
         of paper.  It uses ISO 8859.1 to print 8-bit characters.
    
    
         The following options are recognized (note that arguments to
         options  may  be separated from the option by spaces, except
         for -B, -m, -M, -p and -P):
    
    
         -1   Print 1 normal page per sheet (included for symmetry).
    
    
         -2   Print 2 normal pages per sheet.
    
    
         -4   Print 4 normal pages per sheet (default).
    
    
         -8   Print 8 normal pages per sheet.
    
    
         -a   Toggle layout of the pages on the sheet so that succes-
              sively numbered pages run down the sheet, as opposed to
              left to right.  (default updown) .
    
    
         -A   This option is deprecated, see -b.  Prepare output  for
              European A4 sized paper.  For default see 'mpage -x'.
    
    
         -bpapertype
              Prepare output for selected paper type.  Papersize  can
              be  A3  for European A3, A4 for European A4, Letter for
              US Letter or Legal for Legal sized paper.  For  default
              see 'mpage -x'.  To see the list of currently available
              types, just give the 'mpage -bl' or 'mpage -b?' command
              (Note: mpage exits after finding such option use.)
    
    
         -B[<num>[lrtb]*]
              Setup a box around a  particular  part  of  your  page.
              Specify  text  box  margins  and  line  thickness.  The
              default is 0 columns (lines) for both  left  and  right
              (top  and bottom) margins and 0 line thickness.  Speci-
              fying -B solely toggles printing of the box. l, r, t or
              b  set  the  left,  right, top or bottom margin respec-
              tively to <num> columns (lines).  Not specifying any of
              the  sides,  will  set the line thickness when <num> is
              given.  For example -B1 sets the line thickness  to  1.
              Sides with negative margins will not print.
    
    
         -c   Toggle concatenation off pages from different files  on
              single sheets (default off).
    
    
         -C[encodingfile]
              Specify the character encoding file.  The  file  should
              be      in      the     mpage     library     directory
              (/usr/local/lib/mpage).  Mpage has an internal  default
              encoding based on Latin-1 or IBM codepage 850.  Depend-
              ing on compile time option this encoding definition  is
              on  or not.  Not specifying an encodingfile will toggle
              the usage of the internal encoding.
    
    
         -da|p
              Force input to be taken as ascii (a) or postscript  (p)
              text.   This  way you can print your postscript code as
              text, or print postscript  code  that  mpage  does  not
              recognise.  When  using  -dp,  make  sure  that the the
              postscript code contains %Page page separators or  else
              things will probably look odd.
    
    
         -Ddateformat
              Set the date format as in strftime(3)  to  be  used  in
              date/time representations (e.g. in headers).
    
    
         -E   Print 2 normal pages per sheet.  However,  this  option
              will  print every second and third page of every set of
              four pages.  This option will ignore -a and -l.
    
         -f   Toggles folding lines longer than page  width  (default
              off) .
    
    
         -Ffontname
              Specify font. (default Courier).
    
    
         -hheader
              This is used only when the -p or -H switch is used  and
              is  passed as the "-h header" option to pr(1) or as the
              header for -H.
    
    
         -H   Create header line for each logical page separated from
              page text by a horizontal line. Unless -h is given, the
              header consist of last file  changetime,  filename  and
              page  number,  all  in  bold  and slightly larger font.
              This option only applies to non-postscript files.
    
    
         -Iindent
              Indent text by indent characters.
    
    
         -jfirst[-last][%interval]
              Print just the selected sheets,  specified  by  number,
              starting  at 1.  Here last defaults to the end of data,
              interval to  1.   Thus  -j1-10  selects  the  first  10
              sheets,  while  -j  1%2  prints  just  the odd-numbered
              sheets and -j 2%2 prints just the even ones.
    
              You can do double-sided printing,  in  two  passes,  as
              follows.   If  you  use 3-hole punched paper, put it in
              the printer such that the holes will appear at the  top
              of the page -- on the right as you pull out the printer
              tray, in our Laser  writer  II  NTX.   Print  the  odd-
              numbered sheets with
    
    
                   mpage ... -j 1%2 ...
    
              Note the number of pages it reports.  (Only  half  this
              many  will really be printed).  When printing finishes,
              if mpage reported an odd number of  pages,  remove  the
              last  one  from the stack, since there will be no even-
              numbered sheet to match it.  Then arrange the stack  of
              paper  for  printing  on  the  other  side.   (If  it's
              punched, the holes will now be on the left.)  On our II
              NTX,  the  paper comes out blank-side up; replace it in
              the tray still blank-side up but rotated  180  degrees.
              For  other  printers, you figure it out.  Now print the
              even-numbered sheets in reverse order with
    
    
                   mpage ... -r -j 2%2 ...
    
              hoping no one else reaches the printer before you do.
    
    
         -k   When mapge finds a  %%TRailer  or  %%PSTrailer  in  the
              postscript  input  file it normally assumes this is the
              end of the postscript file and stops reading the  input
              file.   But  when  the  PS  file  includes  EPS  files,
              %%Trailers might be anywhere. Using this option ignores
              the %%TRailer and %%PSTRailer lines.
    
         -l   Toggle printing landscape or portrait mode.   Landscape
              pages  are  55  lines  long  by  132 characters wide by
              default. Portrait pages are 66 lines long by 80 charac-
              ters wide by default.  (default portrait.)
    
    
         -Llines
              Adjust the page  reduction  parameters  so  that  lines
              lines  will  fit  in the space of one page.  This over-
              rides the default values normally supplied.  (See  -l.)
              If  used  in  conjunction  with  -p  then this value is
              passed to the pr(1) as well.  As  a  side  effect  this
              changes  the font size as well (as will the -W option.)
              So while there is an  option  to  change  font  family,
              there is no explicit option to change font size!
    
    
         -m[<num>[lrtb]*]
              Specify sheet margin. The default margin is 20  points.
              Only specifying -m sets left margin to 40 points. l, r,
              t or b set left, right, top or  bottom  margin  respec-
              tively  to  <num>  points.   Not  specifying any of the
              sides will set all sides when <num>  is  given.   <num>
              defaults  to  40 points. For example -m10 sets all mar-
              gins to 10 points.  -ml50tb sets left margin to default
              40   and  top  and  bottom  margin  to  50  points.   -
              m50l25bt30r set bottom and top margin to 25, left  mar-
              gin  to  50 and right margin to 30 points.  Margins can
              have negative numbers.  Very large  values  have  funny
              effects.  This is left as an exercise to the user.
    
    
         -M[<num>[lrtb]*]
              Specify  logical  page  margins.  For  syntax,  see  -m
              option.  Defaults are 4 for -M solely, and 8 for <num>.
              Margins can be negative.  This way large white  borders
              in  your  (postscript)  documents can be reduced.  Very
              large values have funny effects.  This is  left  as  an
              exercise to the user.
    
    
         -o   Toggle printing of outlines around  each  reduced  page
              (default on).
    
    
         -O   Print 2 normal pages per sheet.  However,  this  option
              will  print  every first and forth page of every set of
              four pages.  This option will ignore -a and -l.
    
    
         -p[prprog]
              Pipe input through prprog command (including  specified
              options)  before  printing (assumes the input is a text
              file).  When no command is specified,  it  defaults  to
              pr(1).
    
    
         -P[printer]
              Specify the printer to which the PostScript output will
              be  sent  (e.g.lpr -Pprinter). Using -P with no printer
              specified will  send  the  PostScript  to  the  default
              printer  queue (e.g. lpr). Using -P- will return output
              to stdout, useful in combination with MPAGE environment
              variable.  Without  -P  output will be send to standard
              output.
    
    
         -r   Reverse printing.  The last  sheet  is  printed  first.
              The  way  of  arranging  reduced  pages  on  the sheets
              doesn't change.
    
    
         -R   Switch to left to right mode, starting  first  page  on
              left bottom corner.  This might be useful for landscape
              postscript files.  (Note: using -l after -R undoes  -R,
              and switches to normal landscape mode.
    
    
         -stabstop
              Set tabstop width (default 8 characters).  Should by >=
              2.
    
    
         -S   Accept non-square page reduction.   By  default,  pages
              are shrunk equally in X and Y, even if this wastes some
              space on the sheet.  With -S, reduced pages are  larger
              but   slightly  distorted.  (only  used  when  printing
              postscript files.)
    
         -t   Toggle printing on both sides of the paper.  This  will
              toggle  duplex  mode  of  the printer.  Use this option
              only if your printer is capable of printing  in  duplex
              mode. (default off).
    
    
         -T   Toggle tumble of every second pages  when  printing  in
              duplex  mode.   Use this option only if your printer is
              capable of printing in duplex mode and together with  -
              t.
    
    
         -U   This option is deprecated, see -b.  Prepare output  for
              US Letter sized paper.  For default see 'mpage -x'.
    
    
         -v   Toggle printing a count of the number  of  sheets  pro-
              duced for printing (default off.)
    
    
         -Wwidth
              Adjust the page reduction parameters  so  that  a  line
              with width characters long will fit in the space of one
              page.  This overrides the default values normally  sup-
              plied.   (See -l.)  If used in conjunction with -p then
              this value is passed to the s pr(1)  program  as  well.
              See also the -L option on font sizes.
    
    
         -x   Force usage display, which also shows current defaults.
    
    
         -X [header]
              Print header centered on each  physical  page  (sheet).
              If  no  header  is  given,  the  default is the current
              filename (note -c) on the left and the page  number  on
              the right.
    
    
         -zprintcommand
              Specify command to use to send output to.   Default  is
              lpr  (1)  for  BSD style spooler, lp (1) for SYSV style
              spooler.  You can specify  command  line  options,  but
              note -Z.  For example -zlp for system V Unix.
    
    
         -Zprintprog_queuename_arg
              Specify what option to use for the "-z printcommand" to
              specify a printqueue.  For example -zlp -Z-d for system
              V Unix.  Default is -P for BSD style  spooler,  -d  for
              SYSV style spooler.
    
    ENVIRONMENT
         mpage  examines  the  PRINTER  (or  LPDEST  for  SYSV  style
         spooler)   environment  variable  to  override  its  default
         printer.
    
    
         The MPAGE_LIB environment variable can be  used  to  control
         where the character encoding files (-C) can be found.
    
    
         mpage also  examines  the  MPAGE  environment  variable  for
         default  option  settings.   Any  option  or  combination of
         options can be specified in the MPAGE environment  variable.
         For example, if MPAGE is set to the string:
    
              -2oPqms -L60
    
         it would (in the absence of other  command  line  arguments)
         print  2  pages per sheet, 60 lines per page, with outlines,
         on the printer  named  qms  (overriding  the  PRINTER/LPDEST
         environment  variable,  if  it  exists.)  In the environment
         variable, white space is used as an option delimiter, and no
         quoting is recognized.
    
    
         Any command line options will override both the PRINTER  and
         MPAGE environment variables.

    BUGS
         Suffers under the burden of far too many switches.  (But you
         wanted the choices!)
    
         NULL characters in a postscript input file will cause  mpage
         to crash!
    
         Many others, w're sure.
    
         Mpage is year 2000 compliant,  as  long  as  the  underlying
         operating system is!!!
