Description

ddstdecode decodes a Ricoh DDST stream into human readable form.

A Ricoh DDST stream is the printer language used by some Ricoh printers. From what I can tell, it is pbmtojbg(1) wrapped with some PJL.

Command Line Options

These are the options that can appear on the command line.

-d basename: Basename of .pbm file for saving decompressed planes.
-h: Print hex file offsets.
-o: Print file offsets.
-D level: Set Debug level [0].

Examples

Decode an Ricoh DDST stream file created by a Ricoh SP112.
