\subsection{\iptex}
%\iptex was written by Chris Torek at the University of Maryland.

The \iptex\ program converts and then prints a \dvi\ file
on an Imagen imPRESS printer.
Typically, \iptex\ will be configured for your local installation,
and you will only type {\tt iptex \it filename\/}
to print {\it filename\tt .dvi} on your Imagen.
Your \iptex\ may accept options in addition to those
listed in Table~\ref{table:iptex},
passing them on to the local print command,
typically {\tt ipr}, {\tt lpr}, or {\tt qpr}.
The {\it filename\/} argument can be given as {\tt -}
to make \iptex\ read its standard input, e.g.,
when piping from \dviselect.

-c &
\iptex\ is actually a shell script that sends to the printer
the output of {\tt imagen1},
which actually converts your \dvi\ file.
Normally, \iptex\ copies the output of {\tt imagen1}
to a temporary file before sending it off.
If something goes wrong while translating the file,
the output is not sent to the printer,
to avoid wasting paper on incorrect output.
The {\tt -c} option forces output to be piped directly to the printer,
should that prove useful. \\

-d \it drift &
This rarely used parameter controls the {\em drift\/} of a document.
See \S\ref{sec:drift}, p.~\pageref{sec:drift}, for details. \\

-e \it engine &
This names the kind of print engine used in your Imagen.
The default is {\tt canon}. \\

-l &
This causes your document to be printed in {\em landscape mode}.
That is, your normal 8.5 by 11 document is rotated to become an 11 by 8.5
document. \\

-m \it mag &
This applies a global magnification to the output.
See \S\ref{sec:dvimag}, p.~\pageref{sec:dvimag}. \\

-p &
This disables page-reversal,
or (if normally disabled) enables it.
Page-reversal causes your document to
be printed in collated order on most Imagen printers. \\

-r \it res &
This specifies the resolution of the print engine in dots per inch,
normally 300. \\

-s &
This `silent' flag disables the \cccount\ numbers
that are normally printed when your document is being processed. \\

\usebox\xy &
These are added to the margin border width, i.e. they are
relative displacements.
Normally, your document is offset from the border by one inch.
Offsets are in thousanths of an inch and may be negative. \\
