Re: Embedding Printer Control parameters in PCL
That's also going to be an issue for the PostScript renderer, when we want to apply individual PPDs (Files that contain control commands for individual printers) or controlling the PostScript Level to be used. What comes to my mind as an idea is a FOP extension where we can supply some configuration in form of a (sub-)element tree that gets converted internally into Avalon Configuration objects that can be used to configure a particular renderer. On the other side, this mechanism should only complement (not replace) the configuration possibilities from the system/user configuration supplied to FOP. I think it's also important that the extension can take configuration for several renderers simultaneously. On 12.10.2001 19:52:37 Brian T.

Embedding Printer Control parameters in PCL
Hi Art, I am trying to send fop generated PCL from web server to network printers. For each document, we know the print controls(like duplex etc.) Is there a way to embed these controls as part of the PCL stream so that duplex prints are automatically delivered as duplex without any other intervention. All our printers support duplex printing.

Depending on how you are invoking FOP it may be possible to have an XSL stylesheet call an extension function to signal to the code that is invoking the PCLRenderer to set the orientation as desired. Unfortunately the orientation is set in startRenderer() so this would need to be done before that. HTH, Art -Original Message- From: Brian Wolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 4:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: orientation I am trying to utilize the code in PCLRenderer that will send the landscape escape sequence. Unfortunately I cannot seem to figure out how to pass the information from the stylesheet to the renderer. If someone is already working on this I can wait a little bit; otherwise any advice on how to proceed to make the coding changes would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian Brian T. Wolf CBILL, INC. 3452 E.
