PCL command support
The following sections explain the differences in processing and how
DocuPrint NPS interprets various PCL commands.
PJL commands
DocuPrint NPS does not support Printer Job Language (PJL)
commands embedded within a job. When PJL commands are
embedded within a PCL job, the job prints but the PJL commands are
ignored.
Note: PJL commands specifying the resolution of the job are
ignored. This can cause a PCL job to be printed at an incorrect
resolution. Use the DefaultResolution option or the virtual printer to
specify the correct resolution.
PCL Copy command
DocuPrint’s behavior with the PCL Copy command (<ESX>&|#X)
differs slightly from the behavior of the HP LaserJet 4si or Color
LaserJet. This section describes these differences.
If a document is printed as simplex, the behavior of the HP LaserJet
4si or Color LaserJet and the DocuPrint NPS is nearly identical,
except that DocuPrint collates the copy output when one copy
command is used to print copies of multiple output pages.
The following is an example for a 9 page document with a “3 copies”
command on page 2, a “2 copies” command on pages 6 and 7, and
a “1 copy” command on page 8:
