which directs TRUETEX to step-and-repeat the contents of each page in an array of items Xitems wide by Yitems high with a distance between adjacent items of Xoff horizontally and Yoff vertically (distances in inches). You will see the effect both in previews and printed output.
For example, ``-q 4.16 3.33 2 3'' means to print an 2 by 3 array of the page image, with the array items stepped 4.16 inches horizontally and 3.33 inches vertically. This option corresponds to Avery 5164 self-adhesive label sheets for laser printers.
The print the TRUETEX User's Guide masters, we printed on US legal size paper (8[ 1/2] inches by 14 inches) in full-duplex, landscape orientation, using TRUETEX option ``-q 7 0 2 1''. This prints a master book yielding two copies, which are power-cut along the midline of the sheets before binding.
You may specify a negative or zero distance for the quiring offsets to achieve certain effects. However, a zero or negative value for the Xitems or Yitems counts will cause TRUETEX to render all pages blank.
If you need a more general quiring facility, consider Rokicki's dvidvi program, which rearranges the pages in a DVI file into a new DVI file with quired pages. The new DVI file will preview and print appropriately with the TRUETEX previewer.
