    PCL3 Compatibility

    If I remove the PJL wrapper, it still does not print. However, it is a PCL3 GUI. So, it makes sense that it does not work. I assume that the PCL3 GUI more or less uses an image generated by the PC that is then sent to the printer, somewhat similar to CPL XL? Thanks for the help...

    PCL3 Compatibility

    I have developed print capability on a product at work and it seems to work well with many printers. I have developed it using PCL5 and it seems to work well on PCL5 printers, but we have recently tested it on some PCL3 inkjets and it does not print. We generate a chunk of ascii text and...

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    If I have the ability to produce PCL6 print jobs, I can have the user select PCL5 or PCL6 in our menu system. Most people will always be printing to the same printer and will not have to fiddle with the setting very often. We are adding more advanced USB print capabilities to our Power...

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    Thanks so much!! HP do supply a Text2XL tool, and they provide source code. This type of thing will be exactly what we need. We will need to generate a PCL6 print job from our ascii text results. You have been a great help. www.voltech.com

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    Thanks for your help. It looks like we will be stuck generating the entire print job each time. Not something we are likely to be able to do on our current product. It would be nice if someone had a magic chunk of C code to compile an ascii bit of text into a print job. It is possible in...

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    Our print jobs are very simple, no graphics, just a stream of text. Do I understand PCL6 correctly in that once I open up a data stream with the correct command sequence, I can send ascii (or a binary representation) to the printer then close the job with another sequence? Or is it similar to...

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    Thanks for the help. Does this also mean that most PCL6 printers will not also have PCL5 available if I switch languages with PJL? www.voltech.com

    PCL5 to PCL6 Migration

    I got my feet wet with PCL5 last year learning how to get a new product to print results. This seems to work fine on most printers. Some of the newer printers with PCL6 (PCL XL) don't work. My understanding of PCL6 is that backwards compatability is sketchy, but assuming the printer is...
