Translation</a></h1>
<p>Options used:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><tt class="LITERAL">translate_format=</tt><i class=
"EMPHASIS">change outgoing job file formats</i></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><tt class="LITERAL">translate_incoming_format=</tt><i
class="EMPHASIS">change incoming job file formats</i></p>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<p>A rarely encountered problem is when a job is printed with
one format but for compatibility needs to be processed with
another. The simple <tt class=
"LITERAL">translate_format=vlxf</tt> option will rename
format <tt class="LITERAL">x</tt> files to <tt class=
"LITERAL">f</tt> format.</p>
<p>This can be used to resolve problems with PC based
software, which spools jobs using the <tt class=
"LITERAL">v</tt> format. Unfortunately, many RCF1179 print
spoolers do not understand the <tt class="LITERAL">v</tt>
format and mishandle the job. A simple forwarding queue with
the following entries will rename <tt class="LITERAL">v</tt>
format to <tt class="LITERAL">l</tt> (binary) format.</p>
<div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
<a name="AEN5921"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
lp
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:translate_format=vl
:lp=lp@printerserver
</pre>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<p>The <tt class="LITERAL">translate_incoming_format</tt>
will do the same thing, but this time on incoming jobs.</p>
