DESCRIPTION
  The la280of filter is used to filter text data for the Japanese LA280
  printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and
  performs accounting functions. At print job completion time, accounting
  records are written to the file specified by the af field in the
  /etc/printcap file.

  The la280of filter can handle plain text files and files that have been
  preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII
  characters. The la280of filter translates nroff control sequences for
  underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control
  sequences for the LA280 printer.

  The la280of filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if
  fields in the /etc/printcap file. For more information on these fields, see
  printcap(4).

  The LA280-J printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading
  (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs). See
  i18n_printing(5) for more information about SoftODL.

  To enable the SoftODL mechanism, set the ys value in /etc/printcap to 256.
  You can also set the default SoftODL database, style and size through the
  odldb and odlstyle options for the ya field.	If you set the yt value, set
  it to fifo.  Refer to printcap(4) for more information on these fields and
  associated options.

NOTES
  The lpr command supports a number of options associated with printer
  localization features.  The following can be used with the la280of filter:

  -A

      odldb
	  To specify the SoftODL database path

      odlstyle
	  To specify SoftODL font style and size

  For more information on the lpr -A option, refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS
  The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file
  specifies the name of the error log.
