Questions about Printer Command Language:

Hi all,

Plz tell me what program to assemble a designed file using PCL 5.0?

For PCL 6.0 I am using JETASM and the PCL 6.0 designed file should be
written in a plain text format. The commands in PCL 6.0 are totally
different from the commands listed in the PCL 5.0 manual. For example:

To set a position for the cursor, in PCL 6.0 the command is sint16_xy
0 0 Point SetCursor , while the command for that in PCL 5.0 is
Ec*p0y0X . Why is there this difference?

Assume I have a PCL 5.0 file, what program I need to assemble it to
binary code to send to a printer? Do you have any template file for
PCL 5.0???

Thanks

.
