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

    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.

-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
