Limitations

The d2afp command limits the number of fonts that a ditroff file can load, change, or map. This shows the maximum number of fonts for specific conditions:
40
Loaded at one time
200
ditroff fonts mapped to AFP fonts
253
Point size or font changes on one page

If your troff file has graphics, you might use a different method to print ditroff files. If your PPDS or PCL printer does not support the PCL5, PCL5C, or PCL6 data streams, use this procedure to print troff files containing graphics:

  1. Convert the troff file to ditroff format using the troff -Thplj command.
  2. Convert the ditroff file to PCL format using the hplj command.
  3. Submit the PCL file to print. InfoPrint automatically invokes the pcl2afp command to convert the PCL file to AFP format.
