PCL printer code to staple in UNIX (HP8000 driver)

[jeremycbcd]

Does the HP site have a list of advanced PCL codes, such as the codes for stapling, settings for duplex printing, output tray, etc?

I am quite familiar with the document "HP LaserJet Printers - PCL4 , Job Control Commands , Cursor Positioning , and Font Selection," but it does not have that information.

I used to have a large PCL printer list, but I seemed to have lost it.

Running Unix 5.1 and 4.3, with a Konica 7145 copier/scanner/printer using a HP 8000 driver.

Thanx

Wouldn't Konica be the one to ask?

Konica's website doesn't have much useful stuff on it. BUT the printer does seem to accept all PCL4 codes, and since Unix accepts it as a HP 8000, I figured that a HP PCL code would work.

I'd search hp.com for mopier and see if you find anything re: stapling.

OR maybe you need a PJL command.

Duplexing is <esc>&l1S for long edge binding (Normal)
<esc>&12S for short edge binding (Steno Pad)
<esc>&l0S Simplex
