The system defines document attributes in a device-independent fashion. PCL support is based on options available to PCL level 5 and compatible printers. The HP 5SI printer, however, offers additional capabilities which require PCL level 6 commands. The following table outlines the various PCL commands and the terminology used by the system and the various PCL printers:
Term |
PCL command |
PCL term |
HPLJ4 term |
HPLJ4SI term |
HPLJ5SI term |
Tray 1 (Main) |
~&l1H |
Tray 2 (upper) |
PC Tray |
Upper tray |
Tray 2 (upper drawer) |
Tray 2 (Aux) |
~&l4H |
Tray 3 (lower) |
MP |
Lower tray |
Tray 3 (lower drawer) |
Tray 3 |
~&l5H |
HCI, first tray |
LC Tray |
n/a |
First tray of HCI |
Tray 4 |
~&l20H |
High Capacity Input (HCI) Tray 2 |
n/a |
n/a |
Tray 2 of HCI |
Please note…
The command ~&l5H (first high capacity tray) is supported by PCL5, but this hardware is not typically found on those printers.
The command ~&l20H requires PCL6.
The system now includes these INI options supported by the PCL print driver.
< PrtType:PCL >
Tray3 = pcl command sequence (default is ~&l5H)
Tray4 = pcl command sequence (default is ~&l20H)
If you use the earlier sequences, you can restore your original operation by specifying:
< PrtType:PCL >
Tray3 = ~&l2H
Tray4 = ~&l3H
Note | The tilde (~) represents the escape character and is translated internally. Note also that the third character in each sequence shown is a lowercase letter L. |
