lpvitest Options

Figure 14-1 lpvitest

Access This field is informational only. Writeonly is the only option currently available. This indicates that the only data being transferred is going from the SBus printer card to the SPARCprinter.

Mode This option allows you to select how often to print the test image. The default setting is Fast; the available settings are:

Fast	Prints an image every 1 minute.
Medium	Prints an image every 12 minutes.

Extended Prints an image every 30 minutes.

Image This option lets you choose which test image to print. The settings are:

Default	A pattern of vertical lines on one page and a checkerboard pattern on another.
57fonts	An image of the 57 different fonts that the printer supports.

Userdefined You can use any rasterfile as a test image. Just place the file in

the /opt/SUNWvts/bin directory and save it as the file name u_image.

Resolution This setting defines the printer resolution of the printed test pattern. The choices are 300 or 400 dots per inch.

---

Note - Patterns such as the default test pattern are printed at different sizes and at different dpi resolutions. The text in the 57 fonts pattern prints in the same size, using the two different resolutions.

lpvitest Test Mode

This test only supports the offline mode of testing.

lpvitest Command Line Syntax

/opt/SUNWvts/bin/lpvitest standard_arguments -o
dev=device_name,access=writeonly|readonly,image=filename,reso=resolution,
mode=mode

Argument Explanation
dev=device_name	Specifies the name of the device. This should be of the form /dev/lpvi#, where # is the number of the device.
access=	Choices are write-only or read-only, but just write-only is supported at this time. See Access in Section , "lpvitest Options."
image=filename	This is the name of the file containing the test image. Possible values are:
	imagefile Any file containing user-defined images. Before running SunVTS, copy the raster image file to the /opt/SUNWvts/bin directory and save it with the filename u_image. The size of the image is adjusted based on the resolution.
	57fonts Contains an image of 57 fonts. The size of the image is adjusted, based on the resolution.
	default The default images print on two pages, one image is a pattern of vertical lines and the other is a checkerboard.
reso=resolution	resolution is the resolution of the output in dots per inch (DPI). Possible values are 300 and 400.
mode=mode	mode is the print speed mode. This is the rate at which the test image is printed. Possible values are:
	fast..Prints the test image at 1-minute intervals.
	medium Prints the test image at 12-minute intervals.
	extended Prints the test image at 30-minute intervals.
