  Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hiperc for a particular printer.

-u xoffxyoff
    Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].

-l xoffxyoff
    Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].

-L mask
    Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the HIPERC stream [3].
    0 | don't send any logical clipping amounts
    1 | only send Y clipping amount
    2 | only send X clipping amount
    3 | send both X and Y clipping amounts

-A  AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input only.

-B  BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.

-Z compressed
    Use uncompressed (0) or compressed (1) JBIG data.

  Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging foo2hiperc.

-S plane
    Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
    1 | Cyan
    2 | Magenta
    3 | Yellow
    4 | Black

-D level
    Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES
Create a black and white HIPERC stream:
    gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
        -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
        -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
    | foo2hiperc -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p0 >testpage.zm

Create a color HIPERC stream:
    gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
        -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
        -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
    | foo2hiperc -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p0 >testpage.zc
