The HMI should have NOTHING to do with this. What do you see if you print the code, both with and without the HMI code. Is there a difference? The other possibility is there is a bug in your computer firmware. Over the years I have seen bugs in different printer models. If you have access to...

It is pretty simple really. Use <esc>&l1S at the very beginning of the job to enable duplex printing. Now it is up to you to keep track of which side you are printing. After you have filled the fields on the front side, issue a formfeed, Chr(12), and that will put you onto the back page. Fill...

There aren't any barcode related commands as such. You referred to a symbol set, which if it is really contains only legal 3of9 characters, does little for you. It certainly does NOTHING in the way of barcodes themselves. Only talking about 3of9 now. You need to first go out on the net and find...

Sorry for the repeating text. I had problems getting the reply to post. Jim Asman http://www.spectracolorservices.com

It really depends on your needs. Certainly, a soft font will provide the best economy and flexibility as to different barcode symbologies. Or you could buy a LaserJet from a company like TROY that makes modified LJs specifically for barcodes. Now if you are talking about several hundred printers...

If you are trying to modify an existing overlay, consider that some text could actually be an image and not raw text. Often a page may be made up from several different images. Also, if the PCL5 was generated by a windows printer driver you may find text is unrecognizable as it has been remapped...

I haven't looked at printer prices for years, so I can offer little advice. Beware, though, that often the inexpensive color laser printers come with minimally filled toner cartridges and the replacements cost more than the printer. I would make sure that any printer purchased supports PCL5...

What you are looking for is known as an "automatic overlay". The AO is simply a PCL macro that is enabled as an AO. It works like this. <esc>&f0X Declare macro definition macro code Macro contents <esc>&f22y1X End macro definition (1X) Assign macro ID of 22 (22Y) optionally add...

I'm not familiar with your unit at all, but consider that you could load the adf with document(s), but you may decide first to print another sheet from the glass. When you load the adf it is ambiguous to the copier where to pick from first, thus the query. I would assume that once you pick the...

Going through your file, NONE of your orientation commands are changing the orientation from the original portrait to landscape, thus there is no need for a page eject. In fact it would appear that your page break is because of an explicit ^L. Change the middle <esc>&l0O to <esc>&l1O and see how...

If there is any printable data on the current page, the printer will first print the current page and then execute the orientation change. If the reason for thew new orientation is to rotate some text on the current page, then use the "print direction" command rather than orientation. Jim Asman...

Thanks for the update and the link. Many people I encounter have run into this. I have saved a copy for future reference. Jim Asman http://www.spectracolorservices.com

A few years ago, I had a customer that indirectly purchased my MKPCL program through a consultant to print signatures. They had purchased 1500 of these printers. The specs said PCL6 only, but Brother assured them that PCL5 was in fact supported. Apparently, the printer actually defaulted to some...

There are apparently a few of Brother PCL6 printers that also support PCL5; although they are not advertised as such. Whether or not there are PCL5 windows drivers for these printers, I don't know. Perhaps there is a control panel setting to select PCL5 as the default. Jim Asman...

My guess would be that it is the Magenta and/or Cyan toners. Probably there is a wiper blade within that has hardened and isn't wiping the drum clean. YMMV Jim Asman http://www.spectracolorservices.com

I am suspecting that each of the *b***W lines actually wraps to 64 raster raster lines on the page and that looks pretty obvious for all the white space at the top. It is somewhat reminiscent of the windows only printers that convert all output to giant bitmaps. They did that on cheap printers...

Jeroen, It occurred to me that you might go to www.leadtools.com and see if they have anything that can help you. I purchased a windows "printer driver" from them 15-20 yrs ago or so that would output an image file rather than a printer file. They were way ahead of the curve. Perhaps they...

...this output? I notice that this is more than just the compression scheme. If you look at the code immediately before the b131m, you see a <esc>*r4800s64t32768A I appreciate that the image is 4800 pixels wide and I suppose is broken into blocks that are 64 pixels high, but the 32768A start...

Jeroen, Absolutely, send it to me. I have a few viewers etc. You can get the address from the website or try -- jim AT website -- Tek-Tips doesn't like email addresses being displayed for fear of attracting data miners. It would probably help if you could explain the problem. I gather that...
