Print to a PCL Device |
|
In order to print to a PCL Device, firstly, a printer driver must be installed.
The following information is a guide for Windows Vista and the next steps must be followed:
| · | Double-click on Printers. |
| · | Right-click and choose Add Printer from context menu. |
| · | Choose Add a Local Printer, click Next and choose a manufacturer from the left list. For this example, the value HP will be used. |
| · | From the right list (Printers), select a PCL driver. For this example, the value HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL 5 will be used. |
| · | Click Next. |
| · | Remove spaces from the printer name - i.e. the name should look like the following: HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5. |
| · | Click Next, Next and Finish. |
Now that a PCL printer driver is available, a PCL file can be created with XF Rendering Server. Using URender.NET, the command line is the following:
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5;outputprintfile=c:\temp\outputFile.pcl
In the same manner, if the printer exists and the user desired to print directly to it, the following command line must be used (Note: no output file is specified):
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5
If the user desired to print from the local network, using a shared printer, the following command line must be used (in this example, HPLasterJet5200SeriesPCL5 attached to computer srv01 value will be used):
URender.NET.exe c:\temp\input.fo -parameters:printername=\\srv01\HPLaserJet5200SeriesPCL5
