[>DESCRIPTION]
.PP
.B psnup
uses
.B pstops
to impose multiple logical pages on to each physical sheet of paper.
.PP
Paper sizes can be given either as a name (see
.BR paper(1) )
or as \fBwidth\fRx\fBheight\fR (see
.BR psutils (1)
for the available units).

[EXAMPLES]
The potential use of this utility is varied but one particular
use is in conjunction with
.BR psbook (1).
For example, using groff to create a PostScript document and lpr as
the
.SM UNIX
print spooler a typical command line might look like this:
.sp
groff -Tps -ms \fIfile\fP | psbook | psnup -2 | lpr
.sp
where file is a 4 page document this command will result in a
two page document printing two pages of \fIfile\fP per page and
rearranges the page order to match the input pages 4 and 1
on the first output page and
pages 2 then 3 of the input document
on the second output page.
