NAME
       ptouch-print  - a command line tool to use Brother Ptouch label
       printers

SYNOPSIS
       ptouch-print [options] <print command options>

DESCRIPTION
       ptouch-print is a command line tool that can be used  to  print
       labels with several Brother Ptouch label printers.

OPTIONS
       General  options, font selection options and optput options are
       valid for the whole printout and should  be  given  only  once.
       Each duplication will override the previous argument value.

       Any of the printing command options can be given more than once
       in any order, and will be executed in the given order.

   General options
       --debug
              Enables printing of debugging information.

   Font selection options
       --fontsize <size>
              Disable auto-detection of the font size  and  force  the
              font  size  to  the  size given as argument. Please note
              that text will be cut off if you  specify  a  too  large
              font size here.

       --font <fontname>
              Set the font to the fontname given as argument.

   Output control options
       --writepng <file>
              Instead of printing to the label printer, write the out‐
              put in a PNG image file (which can be printed later  us‐
              ing the --image printing command option).

   Printing command options
       --text text
              Print  the  given text at the current position. Text in‐
              cluding spaces must be enclosed in question  marks.   To
              print a text in multiple lines, give multiple text argu‐
              ments.  Also see the EXAMPLES section.

       --image image.png
              Print the image file at the current position. The  image
              file  must  be  a  two color, palette based image in PNG
              format.

       --cutmark
              Print a cutmark (dashed line) at the current position.

       --pad <n>
              Print <n> pixels of white space at the current position.
              Useful  for  printers that would otherwise cut off parts
              of the printed text or image.
