.TH DVI 1 Local .SH NAME dvi \- print a TeX dvi file piecemeal on a LaserWriter .SH SYNOPSIS .B dvi [-fig] [-mac] [-x pagenumber] [-f pagenumber] [-t pagenumber] [-s pages-per-job] [-o] [-h file] [-8] [-4] [-2] dvifile[.dvi] .SH DESCRIPTION This program converts a DVI file to PostScript, and writes the result to the LaserWriter. .SH ARGUMENTS .TP .B -fig includes the psfigtex(1) prolog (/usr/lib/tex/figtex.pro) in the PostScript file's prolog .TP .B -mac includes the Macintosh LaserWriter prolog (/usr/lib/ps/mac.pro) in the PostScript file's prolog .TP .B -h file includes file in the PostScript file's prolog .TP .B -x pagenumber specifies a lonesome page to be printed. This option (which should appear before the .B -f and .B -t options) can be repeated many times to get a scattered collection of pages. .TP .B -f pagenumber specifies the starting page of the TeX document (default 0) and .TP .B -t pagenumber specifies the ending page of the TeX document (no default). Dvi will split the document into easy-to-handle chunks for the LaserWriter, if you have told it the length of the document by using the .B -t option. If you do not specify the .B -t option, dvi will send the file en masse to the LaserWriter. .TP .B -s size specifies the length (in pages) of the easy-to-handle chunks. The default is 12 pages, which is the optimum size for LaTeX. If you are using `bare' TeX, then chunk sizes of 20 to 30 pages can be used. .TP .B -o will put the PostScript file out on standard output, instead of sending it to the LaserWriter .TP .B -2 will put two TeX pages onto one sheet of paper .TP .B -4 will put four TeX pages onto one sheet of paper .TP .B -8 will put eight TeX pages onto one sheet of paper .TP .B -16 don't push your luck! .SH CONCEPTS The LaserWriter is not a perfect TeX engine, since it easily runs out of Virtual Memory when printing TeX documents using bitmapped fonts (eg the cmr and amr families), so for long documents, it is necessary to print a limited range of pages at a time. Dvi will automatically split the document into 12 page chunks (unless you override this with the .B -s option). The pages are printed out in the following order: 0-11, 12-23, 24-35.. .SH FILES *.dvi - TeX DeVice Independent output file .SH SEE ALSO tex(1), latex(1), dvi2ps(1).
