Offset(dec) Type Sequence Data / Interpretation RE: PCL5 to PCL6 Migration VoltechMark (Programmer) (b) It's not that difficult to generate a PCL6 (PCL XL) print stream, ONCE you have understood the structure - for the simple reason that it IS a very structured language.īut it is MUCH more difficult to interpret, or to modify an existing PCL6 print stream than to do the same with PCL5. What the driver appears to do is to generate a series of encapsulated, compressed, raster images (one or more per page) the interpreter in the printer just unencapsulates and uncompresses these images, and prints the resultant dots. Modern ones use 'JetReady', older ones used LIDIL.Īs far as I can determine, the current 'JetReady' is a very stripped down variant of PCL6, with a very limited set of commands. These DO actually support a printer language, but this can vary from model to model, and in all cases the language is proprietary and not publically documented.
(a) The printers which don't support any of the traditional Page Description Languages (PDLs), like PCL5, PCL6 or PostScript, are usually known as 'host-based' printers (sometimes as 'Windows' or 'GDI' printers).
