NAME
     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 stdout

     -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.
