11 .SH NAME
22 pnm2ppa - convert portable anymap (PNM) images to HP's PPA printer format.
33 .SH SYNOPSIS
4 pnm2ppa [options] [ -i \fIinfile\fR ] [ -o \fIoutfile\fR ]
4 pnm2ppa [options] [ \-i \fIinfile\fR ] [ \-o \fIoutfile\fR ]

66 .SH DESCRIPTION
77 Reads portable anymap (PNM) format as input. Binary PNM formats pnmraw =
1515 GhostScript output devices "pbmraw", "pgmraw" or "ppmraw", or by "pnmraw",
1616 which will choose one of these formats as appropriate for the document.)
1717 \fBpnm2ppa\fP assumes the input resolution is 600dpi (or 300dpi if
18 the command-line option \fB--dpi300\fP is used): input at higher/lower
18 the command-line option \fB\-\-dpi300\fP is used): input at higher/lower
1919 resolutions will result in a correspondingly larger/smaller printed image,
2020 provided it is within the printer's allowed size range.
