convert a PPM image to an HP LaserJet PCL 5 Color file

Examples (TL;DR)

Convert a PPM file to an HP LaserJet PCL 5 Color file: ppmtolj path/to/input.ppm > path/to/output.lj
Apply a gamma correction using the specified gamma value: ppmtolj -gamma gamma path/to/input.ppm > path/to/output.lj
Specify the required resolution: ppmtolj -resolution 75|100|150|300|600 path/to/input.ppm > path/to/output.lj

Description

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

ppmtolj reads a PPM image as input and converts it into a color file suitable to be printed by an HP color PCL 5 printer.

Options

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ), ppmtolj recognizes the following command line options:

-delta: Apply delta row compression to reduce the size of the pcl file.
-gamma int: Gamma correct the image using the integer parameter as a gamma (default 0).
-float: Suppress positioning information. The default is to write the sequence ESC&l0E to the output.
-noreset: Don't write the reset sequence to the beginning and end of the output.
-resolution: Set the required output resolution 75|100|150|300|600
