It is easy to convert the print file PRN to TIFF format image if you use the Fedora Linux supported and oriented application PRN to TIFF Converter Shell for Fedora as your tool. This application can convert PRN, PCL, PXL and SPL format documents to TIFF format image. At the same time, you can also choose to set different parameters for the target file in conversion procedure.
To download PRN to TIFF Converter Shell for Fedora, please click here. There is no need to install the application because it is a packed file. Only by uncompressing you can successfully use it. The executable file pcl2tiff is called program in conversion from PRN to TIFF.
It is easy to fulfill the conversion just by the operations below. To input the commands for calling the application on Fedora Linux system, you need to open the term at first.
Then you can input the path of the executable file pcl2tiff in term and hit "Enter" button to see the usage of the application. The command template will be shown like the following one:
./pcl2tiff -i <input file> -o <output file> [option]
In the commands, the called program pcl2tiff will convert the input file into output file and add functions to output file by using some options. If you cannot understand well, just see the following example:
./pcl2tiff –i ./PRINT/alpha.prn –o ./TIFF/alpha.tiff –r 456x852 –c 2
In this example, you can see that
1. ./pcl2tiff is the path of called program. 2. –i ./PRINT/alpha.prn is the path of source file. 3. –o ./TIFF/alpha.tiff is the path of target file. 4. –r 456x852 is to set resolution for target file as 456x852 DPI. 5. –c 2 is to compress TIFF image by using the method Lempel-Ziv-Welch-1.
If you want to compress the TIFF image, you can also use the following options:
-c 0: Create TIFF file without compression -c 1: Compress TIFF using packbits arithmetic -c 3: Compress TIFF using Lempel-Ziv-Welch-2 -c 4: Compress TIFF using CCITT Group 3 (1 D) -c 5: Compress TIFF using CCITT Group 3 (2 D) -c 6: Compress TIFF using CCITT Group 4 -c 7: Compress TIFF using ZIP
