3-4 System GuidePrintingASCII and the PS or PCL decomposersThe Xerox Freeflow Print Server software automatically wrapsASCII files with a predefined set of PostScript code and sends thedata through the PostScript decomposer. Unfortunately, thispredefined formatting does not always meet customer ASCIIprinting needs and there are no “knobs” to change the formattingwithin PostScript.As an alternative, ASCII files can be identified as PCL and sentthrough the PCL decomposer. The PCL decomposer does providesome additional capabilities that can be used to modify ASCII filesas 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.setpclcontrol utilityThe setpclcontrol utility offers the following user controls:• Set the site default for the PCL decomposer line termination.Setting these options allows both native PCL files and ASCIIstreams forced through the PCL decomposer to beconditioned with various combinations of carriage returns(CR), line feeds (LF), and form feeds (FF). Mainframe andUNIX environments typically require some form of CR/LF/FFadjustment.• Set a custom paper size to map to the PCL escape sequence&|101A (which denotes “print on custom stock size”).HP printers generally respond to this command by imaging anarea of 11.7 x 17.7 inches and then printing the image,centered, on whatever stock is supplied by the operator. Thesetpclcontrol utility allows you to specify a single image andpaper size to correspond with this escape sequence.NOTE: This utility is now covered on the Xerox FreeFlow PrintServer interface. Click the PCL tab and make selections to LineTermination.setlp/lprcopycount utilityThe setlpcopycount utility allows the Xerox Freeflow Print Servercustomer to modify how the lp/lpr gateway handles a copy countof one. Beginning with DocuSP version 1.41.06, the default settingignores a copy count of one placed on the job by the lp/lpr
