BENS G3 PRESCRIBE Filter

1. Functional Specifications

The Prescribe2PCL filter converts prescribe print data into PCL print data, thus enabling the output on

standard PCL printing systems. In addition, the filter offers the possibility to carry out some separate control

operations via a configuration file. That way, for example, the standard settings of the printer that were made

via the printer’s control panel can be mapped in the configuration file. Furthermore, it is possible to reposition

the created print image horizontally as well as vertically. A detailed description of the configuration file is

given in the following paragraphs.

2. Installation of the Filter

For installing the filter on BENS, please proceed as follows:

Filter

•Start the BENS HTML administration tool.

•Select Configuration Filters from the menu and then click on the button Add

Filter.

•Click on the button Search, mark the macro filter file we included in our delivery and

click on the button Save. The name of the filter then appears in the list of all filters

available on BENS.

Configuration

•Please adjust the included XML configuration file according to your own

requirements, following the instructions set down in the ensuing pages.

•Select ConfigurationFilters from the menu and then click on the name of the

filter.

•Click on the button Add config file.

•Click on the button Search and select the corresponding XML file.

•Enter a name for the configuration file in the field Config file description (the file

name will not be adopted automatically).

•To finish this process, click on the button Update config file. The configuration file

will then appear in the list of all configuration files for this filter.

3. Implementation of the Filter

BENS will only employ the uploaded filter when it is activated for a virtual printer. In order

to activate a filter for a virtual printer, please proceed as follows:

•Select Configuration Virtual Printers from the menu.

•Click on the name of the virtual printer for which you wish to activate the filter.

•From the combo box Add filter select the name of the filter. The filter name will then

appear in the list for the filters activated for the currently used virtual printer.

•Then select the suitable configuration from the combo box Filter config.

•The activation of the filter is now concluded.

Note: A filter can only be used when it was activated for a virtual printer.

The filter can only be used on those virtual printers on which it was

activated.

Each virtual printer requires a license for the activation. When there are no

licenses left, an error message will be displayed on activation.

The licenses are not assigned to specific virtual printers. When you delete

a filter from the virtual printer, a license will be released, enabling you to

reactivate the filter on another virtual printer.

5. Explanation of the Configuration File:

For a better legibility, single paragraphs of the configuration file were highlighted in colour. Only the values

marked in bold/green may be altered.

5.1. Default Printer Settings

'** DEFAULT PRINTER SETTINGS **'

<DefaultFont>?(0N?(sspb10h4099T</DefaultFont> ' default Font

<LinesPerInch>6</LinesPerInch> ' default is 6

<Resolution>300</Resolution> ' default resolution

<ornt>0</ornt> 'default orientation'^

<PageX>21</PageX> 'default physical page width in cm

<PageY>29.7</PageY> 'default physical page height in cm

<PageRM>19.8</PageRM> 'default printable area width in cm

<PageBM>28</PageBM> 'default printable area height in cm

In this paragraph, values can be determined that are normally entered via the printer menu on the

printer control panel.

5.1.1. DefaultFont

Using DefaultFont,the default font is set with a corresponding PCL command. The example shows

Courier 10 cpi medium, symbol set latin, which is used under Windows and Unix/Linux systems. When

Prescribe data are sent to the printer without a previous font selection, or a soft reset occurs,these

data are printed with the font that was preset here. If, in some cases, for example national characters

like german umlaut vowels are not printed correctly, the symbol set used by the Prescribe printer shall

be find out and entered hier.

5.1.2. LinesPerInch

Using LinesPerInch,the number of lines per inch is determined. When Prescribe data are sent to the

printer without this specification, these data are printed with the line spacing that was preset here. The

default value is 6 lines per inch.

5.1.3. Resolution

Resolution determines the printing resolution of the original Prescribe print data. If Prescribe data are

sent to the printer without this specification, these data are printed with the resolution that was preset

here. The default value is 300 dots per inch (dpi). This value represents the resolution of older

Prescribe printers.

5.1.4. Ornt

With Ornt,the page orientation is determined. 0 stands for portrait and 1 stands for landscape. If

Prescribe data are sent to the printer without this specification, these data are printed with the page

orientation that was preset here. The default value is 0, representing the portrait position.

5.1.5. PageX

PageX determines the page width in cm. As default, the DIN A4 width is preset (21 cm). If Prescribe

data are sent to the printer without this specification, these data are handled as if they were to be

printed on DIN A4.

5.1.6. PageY

PageY determines the page height in cm. As default, the height of DIN A4 is preset (29.7 cm). If

Prescribe data are sent to the printer without this specification, these data are handled as if they were

to be printed on DIN A4.

5.1.7. PageRM

Using PageRM,the horizontal printable area in cm can be determined (from a portrait-viewpoint).

BENS G3 PRESCRIBE Filter

5.1.8. PageBM

Using PageBM,the vertical printable area in cm can be determined (from a portrait-viewpoint).

5.2. Horizontal and Vertical Offset Settings in mm

'** HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL OFFSET SETTINGS IN MM **'

In this area, values for the horizontal and vertical offset of the entire print image can be predefined.

5.2.1. XOffset

With Xoffset,the entire print image can be set off to the right or to the left along the shorter paper

edge. Positive values will cause an offset to the right. Negative values will cause an offset to the left.

5.2.2. YOffset

With Yoffset,the entire print image is set off downwards or upwards along the longer paper edge.

Positive values will cause a downward offset. Negative values will cause an upward offset

Note:

A horizontal or a vertical offset of the print image can in fact only be realised, when the entire print

image leaves a margin of sufficient size on the target printer. Should the print image on the target

printer already reach up to the right margin, an offset to the right using Xoffset will not produce the

desired results.

5.3. Unimplemented Prescribe Command Substitution

'** UNIMPLEMENTED PRESCRIBE COMMAND SUBSTITUTIONU **'

'** SUBSTITUTE: first entry "type"[PCL or PJL], second: "PRESCRIBE", third "new value"

<ESC-Symbol>?</ESC-Symbol>

<Substitute> <T>PJL</T><O>STPL 2</O><N>@PJL SET FINISH=STAPLE</N></Substitute>

With this entry, new, not implemented Prescribe commands can be substituted by PCL commands.

5.3.1. ESC Symbol

The ESC Symbol determines which character is used in the configuration file in lieu of the not printable

character „Escape“. By default, the character question mark „?“ is used.

5.3.2. Substitute

Substitute determines which Prescribe command is substituted for which PCL command. Differing

from other configuration entries here, it has to be determined additionally whether the Prescribe

command is substituted for a PJL command or for a PCL command. <T> stands for the target

command type (PCL or PJL). <O> represents the original Prescribe command and <N> the new

command. If the Prescribe command is converted into a PJL command, the newly created PJL

command is attached to the PJL-header at the beginning of the PCL file. If the Prescribe command is

converted into a PCL command, the target command is inserted at the same position in the print data

stream it previously used to hold in the Prescribe file.

BENS G3 PRESCRIBE Filter

5.4. Error Correction for Prescribe Commands being printed instead of executed

<Delete-Line>MAP 0.0, 0.0;</Delete-Line>

Using this section, some programming errors in Prescribe files can be corrected.

5.4.1. Delete Line

Delete Line determines whether or not printable lines beginning with a certain Prescribe command

should be deleted.
