NAME

jprconv- Filter for printing Japanese text on a dot-matrix Kanji printer or Japanese language page printer

SYNOPSIS

jprconv [-T terminfo] [-r ]
/usr/lib/lp/text/jprconv

AVAILABILITY

SUNWjfpu

DESCRIPTION

jprconv is a filter for printing Japanese text on a dot-matrix Kanji printer (EPSON VP-5085 or NEC PC-PR201) or Japanese language page printer (Canon LASERSHOT). Control codes for each printer are as follows:

Database	Control code
EPSON VP-5085	ESC/P24-J84 of EPSON ESC/P
NEC PR201	NEC 201PL
Canon LASERSHOT	LIPS-complied control code

If the above control codes are supported, Japanese text can be printed on another printer.

jprconv reads Japanese characters from the standard input, converts them to each control code, and writes to the standard output. If the input character code includes any user-defined characters, JIS X 0212, IBM Extended characters, or NEC-selective IBM Extended characters, these fonts are also printed. For the other characters, fonts installed on the printer are used.

You can use sdtudctool to define user-specific characters (see sdtudctool(1)). To print JIS X 0212, IBM Extended characters, or NEC-selective IBM Extended characters, the SUNWjcs3f package is also needed.

NOTES

In general, it is not necessary to use the jprconv because jprconv is used as a filter on the printer server side. For the setting on the printer server side, see Japanese Environment User's Guide.

Only Japanese characters are printable in the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
