Sorry, the last PCL file was the wrong one. I linked the PCL file below that I was originally talking about. When I tried splitting the colors into there own commands as showed in my previous post it didn't work for me (I'm assuming that's my own fault) and rendered the file I attached in the...
I'm now using the following format like you suggestion
<esc>*b150V Data (cyan layer)
<esc>*b150V Data (magenta layer)
<esc>*p150W Data (yellow layer)
I'm seeing the same results. The link to my PCL file can be found below.

I have a small PCL file (Google's logo) that I've converted to PCL. The structure of the PCL is below. I've been able to get the image to print out correctly to a Kyocera FS-4020DN, SHARP MX-M503N, and one other printer that I don't currently have access to. When I print this Image to a HP...
I've had this printer boxed up for a little over a year now. I started working on a project where I'm planning on getting some use out of it. I was able to get everything hooked up without a problem. I'm able to print through wireless. I did a ping from my laptop to obtain the IP address and...
Thanks, I'm interesting in knowing more about some of this. Do you know where I could learn more about the changes from PCL4 to PCL5? Also, I'd also be interesting in knowing what other PCL is now deprecated. Is this documented some where?
I wasn't aware that HP didn't have a concept of EBCDIC. The information provided above was useful.
You mentioned previously that the fonts used in the file are format-0 bitmap. Do you mind elaborating a bit on that? Is it possible the PCL in this file is PCL4?
I attached a zip file in my previous post. If you can't view the attachment here is a link to the zip file https://github.com/downloads/born2snipe/street/encoding.zip
I've attached two small files. I replaced all of the original text with asterisks for security reasons. I used asterisk-ebcdic.pcl as input file. I'm wondering if there is away to scan the input file programatically and determine it's encoding. Currently the parser has to be told the encoding of...
The PCL commands above were used as an example. I'm looking for a programatic solution to determine the encoding of a PCL file. The application I'm working on currently parses and processes ASCII and EBCDIC files. After the file has been manipulated it's written back to the file system as ASCII...
Is there away to determine the encoding of text in a PCL file? Lets say I have two PCL files. The first one prints 'Hello World!' and it's encoding is ASCII. The second file I have prints 'I love pie!' and it's encoding is EBCDIC.
(esc) *p99XHello World!
(esc) *p99XÉ@“—‰…Z
Is there away to...
I was wondering if some printers allow PCL commands with data to be combined. For example could the following
Ec *r1A
Ec *b0M
Ec *b2M__
Ec *b2M__
Ec *rC
Be written as
Ec *r1A
Ec *b0M
Ec *b2m2M____
Ec *rC
I wasn't sure if the printer would read the first two bytes...
I printed a PDF to a file using the HP Color LaserJet 4550 PCL 5 printer driver. When I took a look at the output PCL file I noticed it had the following commands.
Ec *r0F
Ec &l0o
Ec &12A
I wasn't sure if the printer would just ignore the command with the lowercase terminator. So I tried...
