DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  la86of  filter  is  used  to filter text data for the
       Japanese LA86  printer.  The  filter  handles  the  device
       dependencies  of the printer and performs accounting functions.
 At print job completion times,  accounting  records
       are  written  to the file specified by the af field in the
       /etc/printcap file.

       The la86of filter can handle plain text  files  and  files
       that have been preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file
       can contain non-ASCII characters.  The  filter  translates
       nroff  control  sequences for underlining, superscripting,
       and subscripting into the proper control sequences for the
       LA86 printer.

       The  LA86-J  printer can be configured to use the software
       on-demand  loading  (SoftODL)  mechanism  to  print  userdefined
 characters (UDCs). For a more detailed description
       of SoftODL, see i18n_printing(5).

       To  enable  SoftODL  printing,  set  the   ys   field   in
       /etc/printcap  to 256.  You can also set the default SoftODL
 database, style, and size by using the odldb and  odlstyle
 options of the ya field.  If you specify a value for
       the yt field, use fifo.  Refer  to  printcap(4)  for  more
       information on these fields and associated options.

       The  la86of filter can be the specified filter in both the
       of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For  more
       information, see printcap(4).

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  lpr  command supports a number of options and associated
 arguments to enable localization  features  supported
       by  various  printers.  The following can be used with the
       la86of print filter: To specify the SoftODL database  path
       To specify SoftODL font style and size

       For  a complete description of the -A option and its arguments,
 refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  lf  field  (default  value  is  /dev/null)   in   the
       /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log.
