Determine encoding of text
It appears as though you replaced all the printablb text in the files with asterisks. Are you just trying to make it as difficult as possible for someone to help you? Aside from that, your ASCII file has a partial, temporary download font bound to the undefined default symbol set. The EBCDIC... -
Determine encoding of text
HP does not have a EBCDIC symbol set. So, most files that start-off as EBCDIC run through some type of protocol conversion and the EBCDIC is mapped to a download font in a custom symbol set. This is a file we use in our product to map those characters. 32 64 à 68 ¢ 74 . 75 < 76 (... -
how to make a program that sends pcl to the printer from Mainframe
If you need a decent looking form overlay with a logo, etc. Then, I recommend using PCLWorks's Img2PCL program to easily generate a form overlay macro or automatic overlay. Then, all you need to do is insert the appropriate PCL to invoke the macro and the absolute coordinates to position the... -

Insert image in a PCL5
PCLWorks Program ($89) includes IMG2PCL.exe. IMG2PCL can convert a TIFF or JPEG file into a PCL file, in-stream PCL, a placable logo macro or a full page overlay macro. You have to be an expert in PCL to figure-out how to edit a Windows temporary printstream into a macro. It used to be... -
Counting pages in PCL5
You need a commerical quality PCL interpreter to count pages in a PCL file. There are many ways to mark the end of a page... changing back to simplex from duplex, lines per page, formfeeds, resets, etc. PageTech has several products (retail to OEM) that count PCL3/4/5/5e/5c/6 level pages...
