6.13.4 Assigning a PCL to a printer

Every printer must be assigned a PCL so that it can process incoming jobs. The following section describes how PCLs are assigned to printers and how this assignment can be changed or canceled. If you do not specify a PCL when you set up a printer, Xprint V7.0 automatically assigns to it the standard PCL GENERIC.

To assign a different PCL to an existing printer, proceed as follows:

●If you do not know the ID of the printer concerned, you can display a list of all the printers defined in the system with the xpshow -devcommand.

●First check the current settings of the relevant printer(s): xpshow -dev [selection] -di LONG

The variable selection represents either a list of the printers or the option -scl“selection_criteria_list” used to define a list of selection criteria according to which Xprint V7.0 selects the printers. For more information on selection criteria lists refer to the section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix. If selection is not specified, a list of all printers is displayed.

●If you are not sure whether the PCL you want matches the attributes of the printer or its default form or assigned font, you should display the attributes of the PCL (and the assigned form) to compare them:

xpshow -pcl pcl_name -di LONG xpshow -frm form_name -di LONG

where pcl_name is the name of the assigned PCL, and form_name is the name of the default form assigned to the printer.
