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?
Perhaps programmers are lazy and prefer text-based structures ? :)
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???
Not sure if I understood your question:
you have a PCL5 created 'print to file' copy and like to print it
on a PCL6 printer ?
Can't talk on behalf of HP, but this may be impossible.
I don't know PCL5, but it seem to use extented ESCcode (like PCL3).
ESC*p0x0y: 26 2a 70 __ _x __ _y
You should ask this question on the HP-board.
Have you tried to feed your PCL6 printer with it ?
some HP-desktop printers understand both, text and ESC-sequences.
