NAME
psnup - print n-up PostScript pages
SYNOPSIS
psnup [-n 2|4|8|16] [-r] [-s #] [file]
DESCRIPTION
psnup takes an arbitrary PostScript file (or standard input) and
filters it to give n-up printing.
OPTIONS
-n value
Select the number of page images that will be printed per sheet
of paper. Allowed values are 2, 4, 8, and 16, and the default is
2.
-r Reverse the order in which page images are laid out on the page.
By default, page images are printed from left to right, top to
bottom. The -r flag prints the pages from right to left, bottom
to top. This can be useful when using psnup with print spoolers
(such as TranScript) that automatically reverse the pages being
fed to the PostScript printer.
-s Select the spot for the first image to be printed. The range of
spots is from 0 to (nup - 1), where nup is the number of images
per page. The default is spot 0 (normally the top left of the
page).
REQUIREMENTS
This shell script uses the getopt(1) command, a version of which is in
the public domain and available in the comp.sources.unix archives.
