Syntax
1. page rows
2. page cols, rows
Description
Syntax 1 specifies an input page length of no more than rows lines. If a form-feed character is encountered first, then the page is considered complete also. This keyword is useful if the application creates a form with line-feeds rather than form-feeds.
If syntax 2 is used, then each page worth of rows is divided into column groups of cols wide and treated as virtual pages from left to right. For example, if an application prints mailing labels as 4-up labels each 30 columns wide and 6 rows deep, then the command page 30,6 would produce 4 pages, each 6 rows. This can be useful to convert n-up continuous label print jobs into laser label jobs using the across and down commands.
If no rows or lpi keyword is specified, then n is assumed to be the rows per page.
Examples:
page 42 treats each 42 lines of input as a full page.
page 42 rows 66 treats each 42 lines input as a full page, but produces output scaled to 66 lines per page.
Drivers: all
PostScript input not supported.
