The IntelliBar print server provides several predefined strings for popular PCL commands. These
include (do a SHOW SERVER STRING command in the remote console to see the available
strings):
No. String Definition
0 (special) Using this number causes printer not to be
automatically reset at the end of each job.
1 NULL Null string
2 \1BE PCL reset (<ESC>E )
9 \FF\04\FF\05\FF\06\FF\07 Enter Language=PCL
11 \0C Formfeed
To define a new string, use the command:
SET SERVER STRING number “string”
where number is the number of the string (12 through 31) and string is the desired string (must
be enclosed in quotation marks).
A given string can include hexadecimal characters by preceding the value with a “\” character.
The next two characters after the “\” will then be interpreted as the hexadecimal value of a char-
acter. For example, to specify <ESC>E as string number 12, you would enter:
SET SERVER STRING 12 “\1BE”
Please note that when you associate a string number with a service, the new string number com-
pletely replaces any previous string numbers. Also, if you are using one of the predefined PCL
services, the new string will nullify the language switching function of these services.
However, you can combine several string numbers together by preceding the string number with
“\FF”. For example, if you defined string number 21 as "\1B" (<ESC>), and string number 22 as
“&l1O”, you can create a new string number 23 that contains <ESC>&l1O (the PCL landscape
mode command) by entering:
SET SERVER STRING 23 “\FF\15\FF\16”
Note that the string numbers within the quotation marks are expressed in hexadecimal when used
with this command.
To associate a string with the service, use the following commands:
