Mackie V7.0 manual 184

Administering PCLs Configuring Xprint V7.0

●To be able to make changes you must first deactivate the printer: xpchange -dev [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE

●Now assign the new PCL to the printer: xpmod -devprinter -pcpcl_name

where printer is the ID of the printer to which the PCL is to be assigned, and pcl_name is the name of the assigned PCL.

Note: If the default PCL is replaced by another one, you must make sure that the new PCL supports the attributes of the default form and the assigned default font used on the printer. If this is not the case, the xpmod command is rejected.

●Now reactivate the printer: xpchange -dev [selection]

Examples

–To add the printer group4 (address /dev/lp3, supervisor marcus), assigning to it the PCL HP-LASERJET:

xpadd -dev group4 -da dev/lp3 -su marcus -pc HP-LASERJET

–To assign to the printer printer4 a different PCL, e.g. POSTSCRIPT:

xpchange -dev printer4 -st NOT-ACTIVE xpmod -dev printer4 -pc POSTSCRIPT -ct- xpchange -dev printer4

–To cancel the assignment of the PCL POSTSCRIPT to the printer printer1 and assign to it the PCL GENERIC instead:

xpchange -dev printer1 -st NOT-ACTIVE xpmod -dev printer1 -pc GENERIC -ct SIMPLE xpchange -dev printer1
