PCL 5
2-12 Guide to Using Page Description Languages
Inconsistent offsetting takes place when multiple copies are
specified. Sheets in the printer output are not stacked with
the desired offset.
PCL media selection
There are three ways to specify media for a given page. You can
use the PCL Page Size command (<Esc>&l#A), the PCL Paper
Source command, or you can use the DocuPrint NPS/IPS
ExceptionPages attribute.
PCL Paper Source command (tray assignment)
PCL uses the Paper Source command (<Esc>&l#H) to specify
the tray definition (# is a number from 0-6).
0=don’t change paper source
1=feed paper from printer specific tray
2=feed paper from manual input
3=feed envelope from manual input
4=feed paper from lower tray
5=feed paper from optional paper source
6=feed paper from optional envelope
NOTE: These are the documented values of HP printers.
However, the DocuPrint NPS/IPS changes paper by media
definition and not by tray definition.
These numbers map directly to the media list set for the Media
document attribute on the virtual printer or in the job submission
so that if:
Media List: A4::blue,A4::white,A4::green,A4::yellow
then:
Esc&l1H selects A4:: blue
Esc&l2H selects A4:: white
Esc&l3H selects A4:: green
Esc&l4H selects A4:: yellow
“Media list” is the list of media assigned to the Media document
attribute.
