3.13 Selecting Paper Paths From the Host
Computer Using DPCL Command
In demand document applications, the paper path may be selected by using Downline Printer
Control Language (DPCL) sequences to select the active Profile 1-4. This command is
available in all emulation modes. Indicating a profile using DPCL commands will allow
paper path selection from the host computer. For more information on configuring features
and profiles, see Chapter 4.
After the profile is configured, it may be selected for the host computer using DPCL
sequences. The paper path will be selected according to the profile selection. Refer to
previous Section 3.12 for further information on paper path selection using profiles.
NOTE
In dual tractor units, the most frequently
used form should be loaded in the main path
and other forms in the alternate path. Now,
changing profiles will prompt the operator to
load the correct form in the alternate path.
To ensure the correct form is loaded, the
alternate path should be left empty when not
in use. This will cause the printer to stop and
indicate which form to load when the path is
selected.
