setpclontrol Utility

Common Controller
As an alternative, ASCII files can be identified as PCL and sent
through the PCL decomposer. The PCL decomposer does
provide some additional capabilities that can be used to print
ASCII files as desired.
To force ASCII files to use the PCL decomposer, change the file
format in Job Manager. This can also be done by changing the
queue default document property from ASCII to PCL.
The setpclcontrol utility offers the following user controls:
You may set the site default for the PCL decomposer line
termination. Setting these options allows both native PCL files
and ASCII streams forced through the PCL decomposer to be
conditioned with various combinations of carriage returns (CR),
line feeds (LF), and form feeds (FF). Mainframe and UNIX
environments typically requite some form of CR/LF/FF
adjustment.
This utility allows you to set a custom paper size to map to the
PCL escape sequence <esc>&|101A (which denotes "print on
custom stock size"). HP printers generally respond to this
command by imaging an area of 11.7 x 17.7 inches and then
printing the image, centered, on whatever stock is supplied by
the operator. The setpclcontrol utility allows you to specify a
single image and paper size to correspond with this escape
sequence.
NOTE: This control does not affect ASCII data streams.
Syntax of the utility:
setpclcontrol -t option where 'option' equals one of the following:
0 - CR=CR; LF=LF; FF=FF (default)
1 - CR=CR-LF; LF=LF; FF=FF
2 - CR=CR; LF=CR-LF; FF=CR-FF
3 - CR=CR-LF; LF=CR-LF; FF=CR-FF
The following is an example of an adjusted line termination
setting for a UNIX ASCII environment:
docusp_printer% su root
Password:
# cd /opt/XRXnps/bin/
# ./setpclcontrol -t 3
