Printing4-4 System GuideAs an alternative, ASCII files can be identified as PCL andsent through the PCL decomposer. The PCL decomposerdoes provide some additional capabilities that can be used tomodify ASCII files as desired.To force ASCII files to use the PCL decomposer, change thefile format in Job Manager. This can also be done bychanging the queue default document property from ASCII toPCL.setpclcontrol utilityThe setpclcontrol utility offers the following user controls:• Set the site default for the PCL decomposer linetermination. Setting these options allows both native PCLfiles and ASCII streams forced through the PCLdecomposer to be conditioned with various combinationsof carriage returns (CR), line feeds (LF), and form feeds(FF). Mainframe and UNIX environments typically requiresome form of CR/LF/FF adjustment.• Set a custom paper size to map to the PCL escapesequence esc|101A (which denotes print on custom stocksize).HP printers generally respond to this command byimaging an area of 11.7 x 17.7 inches and then printingthe image, centered, on whatever stock is supplied by theoperator. The setpclcontrol utility allows you to specify asingle image and paper size to correspond with thisescape sequence.NOTE: This utility is now covered on the DocuSPinterface. Click the PCL tab and make selections to LineTermination.setlp/lprcopycount utilityThe setlpcopycount utility allows the DocuSP customer tomodify how the lp/lpr gateway handles a copy count of one.Beginning with DocuSP version 1.41.06, the default settingignores a copy count of one placed on the job by the lp/lprsubmission protocol. This allows the internal copy count setby the PDL to take precedence.The following utility allows a customer to return the DocuSPto its original behavior, that is, either imply a copy count ofone when none is specified or honor a copy count of one ifspecified on the command line. This copy count of one takesprecedence over the copy count set by the PDL.
