Determine encoding of text 2

[srwatson]

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 determine which file has the EBCDIC text and which file has the ASCII text?

~ Thanks

The following link provides a brief history of the PCL language, and links to the PCL Technical Reference manual, and also to other PCL5 & PJL manuals:

Be aware that some of the manuals (in PDF format) are multi-megabyte downloads.
