RE: [sqr-users] Printing Issues

[Ryan_Paul@aismail.wustl.edu]

So there must be something wrong with my escape key and how it is encoded,
because when I print the spf file the words are not bold.  After looking
through the user list archive I found that the escpae character is <27>.
Maybe that is not it, is it possible that the escape character is something
else.  Or maybe I am not encoding it properly, is there anyway to look at
the sqr code and tell if it is right or wrong.

  encode '<27>' into $escape
  move '(s3B' to $bold
  move '(s0B' to $normal
  let $bold_str = $escape || $bold

  print $bold_str            (,6) code-printer=hp
  Print 'Hello World'    ()

  let $norm_str = $escape || $normal
  print $norm_str (1,1) code-printer=hp

You will not see bold in the .SPF file.  Assuming the ESCAPE character in
the .spf is properly encoded, when that file is printed, the HP printer
will interpret it appropriately.

The PCL looks fine (orientation, cursor positioning, bold on, bold off).
PCL doesn't care about separate lines, because you're printing it as a
binary stream and all cursor positioning is explicit, the <cr><lf> will
have no effect.

I have tried using the pcl, but nothing has seemed to work.  Here is an
example of what I am doing in the sqr, maybe you can find something wrong
with it.  FYI, I am trying to print to an HP LaserJet 4050, on NT.

  encode '<27>' into $escape
  move '(s3B' to $bold
  move '(s0B' to $normal
  let $bold_str = $escape || $bold

  print $bold_str            (,6) code-printer=hp
  Print 'Hello World'    ()

  let $norm_str = $escape || $normal
  print $norm_str (1,1) code-printer=hp

this is what the .lis file looks like:

&a1L&l4E&a728v309H(s3B
&a728v309HHello World
&a728v36H(s0B

as you can see the commands are on seperate lines.  Not sure if this is
what is causing the problem, but the the words 'Hello World' in the .spf
file are not bold.  Let me know if there is something that I am not doing
correct.  I may not even be anywhere close for all I know.  Just looking
for a little PCL training I guess.  Thanks

Ryan

If your printer is an HP or is HP PCL compatible, the answer is yes to both
of your questions.

Get hold of the PCL Guide for your printer.  Some help can be had from the
HP web site.

Hi!

    I have 2 questions.  1)  Does anyone know how to print a report
multiple times in a batch process.  To be a little more specific, I have a
job that runs in batch, produces 1 report, but I want it to print 5 copies
by itself.  Any suggestions?     2)  Is there anyway to specify the paper
tray to use at the printer?  I want to print a banner page using a green
colored paper, then use the regular white paper for the report.  Any way to
switch back and forth between paper sources?  Any help you can give would
be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Ryan
