LPR PCL5 Print Driver

Not all HP LaserJet-compatible printers have PJL support. To better utilize these non-PJL printers, PCL-based automatic print formatting has been added. This support is activated by specifying TCPDRIV=PCL5 on the printer node definition.

TCP/IP LPR PCL5 print driver support provides:

• All of the basic LPR print driver support
• LINECOUNT support for NOCC files
• Include of FCB, FORM, and CHAR PCL resources in front of print data
• Automatic formatting by mapping of FCB, FCB-extension, LRECL, and CHAR parameters into added PCL commands, to set up the printer to match the actual print file, if no FCB or CHAR PCL resource is found
