Thames is a classical serif font, similar to that used in newspapers and books. Areal is a Swiss-style sans-serif typeface. slap comes with the following fonts as standard: TypefacesĬareer is a monospaced "typewriter" typeface. This is only needed to avoid bugs in some serial-port drivers. OPTIONS -b maxbaud specifies the maximum baud-rate for communication with the printer. All other control characters cause a (possibly blank) glyph to be printed. horizontal tab moves the print position to the next tab-stop. A backspace as the first character of a line has no effect. Some other programs expect to be able to generate emboldened or underlined text using this method. backspace the print position is moved back to where the last character was started, resulting in "overprinting". formfeed the current label (if not blank) is ejected and the print position is moved to the start of the next label. In this sense, slap interprets "linefeed" in the same way as most other UNIX programs: as a "newline". linefeed the print position is moved down by the height of the current font, and is also moved to the left-hand margin. Slap recognises and interprets the common "control" characters: carriage return the print position is moved to the left margin. slap deliberately avoids printing blank labels, even those caused by explicit formfeeds or linefeeds. The Smart Label Printers allow a printed label to be "torn off" without having to feed an extra (blank) label first. A new label is started for each input file. Text that would fall off the side of a label is silently discarded. Text that would fall off the bottom of a label is printed on the next label. If no files are specified, input is read from standard-input. It is needed because such printers are not ASCII devices - they can only natively print raster images and communicate with the computer via a proprietary protocol.
