7.1 Commands

CON VERT
Format:

CONVERT infile [/ FORMAT] [outfile] [/ qualifiers...]

Description:

Converts from one file format to another or changes the layout of a file. Valid input file

formats are text, PostScript, and T4; valid output file formats are T4 and PCL. If the output file is not
specified, it defaults to the name of the input file, but with a .T4 file type. The current user directory is
assumed for both files, unless otherwise specified. If the / FORMAT qualifier is not used after the input file
name and does not have a .T4 or .PS file type it is assumed to be text. If the output file is specified without
/ FORMAT and does not have a .PCL file type, it will be made T4 format.

/ FORMAT
Format:

/ FORMAT= file_format

Description:

This qualifier is used to override the default file typing for files being sent. The file format

may be one of the following:
POSTSCRIPT or PS
FAX or T4
PRINTER or TEXT
PCL

POSTSCRIPT and PS are synonyms. FAX and T4 are also synonyms, as are PRINTER and TEXT. Printer
format is the normal default for ASCII files. PCL (Printer Control Language) is valid only for the output file,
while PostScript format is only valid for the input file.

/ LEFT_MARGIN
Format:

/ LEFT_MARGIN= nnn
