System Guide PrintingCommon Controller 5-5As an alternative, ASCII files can be identified as PCL and sentthrough the PCL decomposer. The PCL decomposer doesprovide some additional capabilities that can be used to printASCII files as desired.To force ASCII files to use the PCL decomposer, change the fileformat in Job Manager. This can also be done by changing thequeue default document property from ASCII to PCL.setpclontrol UtilityThe setpclcontrol utility offers the following user controls:You may set the site default for the PCL decomposer linetermination. Setting these options allows both native PCL filesand ASCII streams forced through the PCL decomposer to beconditioned with various combinations of carriage returns (CR),line feeds (LF), and form feeds (FF). Mainframe and UNIXenvironments typically requite some form of CR/LF/FFadjustment.This utility allows you to set a custom paper size to map to thePCL escape sequence &|101A (which denotes “print oncustom stock size”). HP printers generally respond to thiscommand by imaging an area of 11.7 x 17.7 inches and thenprinting the image, centered, on whatever stock is supplied bythe operator. The setpclcontrol utility allows you to specify asingle image and paper size to correspond with this escapesequence.NOTE: This control does not affect ASCII data streams.Syntax of the utility:setpclcontrol -t option where ‘option’ equals one of the following:0 - CR=CR; LF=LF; FF=FF (default)1 - CR=CR-LF; LF=LF; FF=FF2 - CR=CR; LF=CR-LF; FF=CR-FF3 - CR=CR-LF; LF=CR-LF; FF=CR-FFThe following is an example of an adjusted line terminationsetting for a UNIX ASCII environment:docusp_printer% su rootPassword:# cd /opt/XRXnps/bin/# ./setpclcontrol -t 3PLEASE RESTART DOCUSP TO APPLY SETTING.Notes and Cautions:
