   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2oak for  a
       particular printer.

       -u xoffxyoff
              Set  the  offset  of  the start of the printable region from the
              upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -l xoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
              right corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -L mask
              Send  logical  clipping  amounts  implied  by  -u/-l in the OAKT
              stream [3].

              0   don't send any logical clipping amounts
              1   only send Y clipping amount
              2   only send X clipping amount
              3   send both X and Y clipping amounts

       -A     Turn off: conversion of C=1,M=1,Y=1 to pure black.

       -B     Turn off: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.

       -M mirror
              Mirror bytes. Mirror is 0 for Kyocera KM-1635/KM-2035 and 1  for
              the HP Color LaserJet 1500. The default is 1.

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2oak.

       -S 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.

              1   Cyan
              2   Magenta
              3   Yellow
              4   Black

       -D level
              Set Debug level [0].


EXAMPLES
       Create a black and white OAKT stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2oak -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.oak

       Create a color OAKT stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2oak -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.oak
