What printer language does the OnePrint SE support ?

The OnePrint SE can convert it's input data stream to the following printer languages:
  • PCL 4 - HP LaserJet II and compatible - PCL 4 is commonly used in personal printers as it requires relatively little processing power in comparison with later versions of the PCL languages. PCL 4 does not use any compression mode, the data is sent as a Bit Map image to the printer, this limitation significantly reduces the OnePrint SE performance since the output data stream is larger in Bit Map image.
  • PCL Level 3 - HP DeskJet 550C and compatible - PCL Level 3 is commonly used with the HP DeskJet series, it is a limited PCL 5 version.
  • PCL 5 - HP LaserJet III and compatible - PCL 5 Is widely used by other manufacturers who offer their own models as "PCL 5 compatible". OnePrint SE is using the PCL 5 compression mode which enables to decrement the output data stream.
    • EPCL - Recently a new feature has been added to the OnePrint SE driver ("EPCL"). This feature enables the OnePrint SE to download the fonts raster to the printer and use them later. This feature dramatically decreases the output data stream.
    • PJL Support - Some PCL5 printers have the ability to accept Postscript data stream as well as PCL 5 data stream, The command that chooses the printer language is a PJL command. The OnePrint SE sends this command in the beginning of a PCL 5 data stream, in the end of the data stream the OnePrint SE will send a PJL command to restore the printer default . This feature can be disable in the "PRINTER" sub menu.
  • CANON CaPSYL (ISO) - all canon printers models - ISO is the proprietary language of Canon personal, office and workgroup printers. The OnePrint SE produced an ISO data stream, this data is sent as a Bit Map image to the printer. The use of a Bit Map image significantly reduces the OnePrint SE performance since the output data stream is larger in Bit Map image.
  • Epson - EPSON FX100 Printers and compatible - This language is supported by most of the matrix printer manufactures.
What is the recommended printer language to set in the OnePrint SE configuration ?

The recommended printer language is PCL 5 with the EPCL support. This is the most advanced printer language that the OnePrint SE supports. It enables compression and font download to the printer memory.

What parameters do I need in order to configure the paper size and orientation in the OnePrint SE ?

The paper size and the orientation are to be configured in the sub menu "Trays" in the sub menu "IBM Options" in the "Profile" menu. Those parameters are for the IBM emulation as well as the LAN printer data stream output.

What is PJL and what is it used for ?

PJL Support - Some PCL5 printers have the ability to accept Postscript data stream as well as PCL 5 data stream. The command to choose the printer language is a PJL command. The OnePrint SE sends this command in the beginning of a PCL 5 data stream, in the end of the data stream the OnePrint SE will send a PJL command to restore the printer default . This feature can be disable in the "PRINTER" sub menu.

How do I enable/disable the PJL support in the OnePrint SE ?

This feature can be switch on and off using a check box in the "PRINTER" sub menu.

What is the OnePrint SE "EPCL" and where should I use it ?

Recently a new feature has been added to the OnePrint SE driver ("EPCL"). This feature enable the OnePrint SE to download the fonts raster to the printer and used them later, this feature dramatically decrease the output data stream. The "EPCL" check box is located in the sub menu "Target Options" in the "PROFILE" menu
