Function
Reads text, converts it to the PostScript language program, and writes to standard output. If the filename is not specified,
the standard input will be taken as the command input.
By typing character strings in the environmental variable TXT2PS2OPTION, the input of option at the command line can be
omitted.
At the environmental variable TXT2PS2OPTION and the command line, if no option is specified, the printer will output in 10-
point font size in the portrait orientation.
At the environmental variable TXT2PS2OPTION and the command line, if the same option is specified, the one specified at
the command line will prevail.
txt2ps2 outputs the PostScript language program that adjusts the line/column according to the paper size. For this reason,
the user need not be aware of the paper size. If there is an option to specify the line/column, automatic line feed
according to the paper size will not be executed. Printing will be output according to the line/column specified.
txt2ps2 interprets the following control codes. Other control codes/undefined codes will be converted to octal numbers and
output as-is.
LF
Line feed
FF
Form feed (modifiable by option)
TAB
8-column tab stop (modifiable by option)
