I think that as Hugh has suggested, using PJL is sometimes necessary on certain devices. One way I would test this out is by using a common Windows application to generate a simple PCL output, as follows.
1. Change your printer's driver to be a generic PCL5 driver, so that you can ensure a...
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I see what you mean. I must admit, the PDF project was moderately more difficult to programme (at least for me anyway), because the way in which PDF objects reference each other took me some time to understand. But now I've completed both sets of software and they...
I have developed a jBASE/Temenos (Pick database) application to generate PCL output with logos and other graphical content, and also written PDF output as an option, although the PDF is primarily for sending via e-mail.
However, I've begun to see that many new laser printers offer native PDF...
Yes, I've done likewise — I'm afraid these days of losing some valuable bit of tech. information that I might never find again!
That guide also refers quite openly in Chapter 3 to PCL5C, and this was a link from the documentation page of HL-L3230CDN color printer that only mentions PCL6. I...
Just to add a bit of further information, it appears that when Brother refers to PCL6 support, it assumes this to include PCL5e. The link below is to a Brother PCL programmer's manual for a color printer - relevant text pasted below the link...
I just noticed when printing from Windows applications via the Brother printer driver supplied with the MFC-7860DW here, it automatically wraps Postscript within the PJL, exactly as your example for PCL...

Thanks for the reply, you've confirmed what I suspected. That's good to know, as it explains why it's working. I also found that we can send PCL5C containing a color logo to the Brother MFC-L2750DW and it prints perfectly in monochrome, although if we send the same PCL5C file to the older...
Just a point of clarification really, to help me and others understand this better.
My understanding is that with PCL6 being compiled code, it is not backwards compatible with PCL5, which I take to mean that PCL6 printers do not support PCL5 codes.
However, I've written quite a lot of PCL5...
Hi, I'm looking to convert a JPG file into a colour PCL5c output that can be sent to a PCL5c-compatible printer (HP/Brother etc.). I'm aware of the utility mkpcl, which, as I understand from the documentation, converts colour files into monochrome, but doesn't convert into PCL5c.
Is there a...
