 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.

 SEE ALSO
      enscript(1), postscript(7)
