.SS Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of \fBfoo2hbpl2\fP
for a particular printer.
.TP
.BI \-u\0 xoff x yoff
Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].
.TP
.BI \-l\0 xoff x yoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the
lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].
.TP
.BI \-L\0 mask

.TS

3	send both X and Y clipping amounts
.TE
.TP
.BI \-P
Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output.  May be
needed by some black and white only printers, such as the
HP LaserJet 1000.
.TP
.BI \-A
AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1.  Works with bitcmyk input only.
.TP
.BI \-B
BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.  Works with bitcmyk input only.
.TP
.BI \-X\0 padlen
Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments.  The default is
16 bytes.  Padding 16 bytes of zeroes
is needed for older ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL
and HP LaserJet 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as
the Minolta 2300DL.  So the default should be good for all cases.
.SS Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging \fBfoo2hbpl2\fP.
.TP
.BI \-S\0 plane
Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
on the black plane.  The default is to output all color planes.
.TS

1	Cyan
2	Magenta
3	Yellow
4	Black
.TE
.TP
.BI \-D\0 level
Set Debug level [0].
