I am trying to place a logo that is stored at /area1/dh.temp/M100_3Logo.pcl
on a form that I am creating in PCL5. I have no problem with the shading,
boxes, or data. I am having a problem getting the logo to be printed.
Base information:
OS - RedHat Linux
Running U2
Printer is IBM InfoPrint 1464 Color
Logo file original name: 3Logo.jpg
After running thru IPX20xx converter from IBM: M100_3Logo.pcl
(Set this up as Macro 100)
Here's the code that I am currently trying to work with:
0001: EXECUTE 'SETPTR 11,,,,,, NHEAD, FORM IBM, AT PR33'
0002: PRINTER ON
0003: *
0004: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"E"
0005: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"&f100Y"
0006: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"&f0X"
0007: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"&a540h780V"
0008: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"*t300R"
0009: PRINT ON 11 CHAR(27):"*r100A"
Okay, this is setting up your print job ...
0010: EXECUTE "SH -c 'lp -d PR33 /area1/dh.temp/M100_3Logo.pcl'"
This is sending the logo as a DIFFERENT print job. That's your problem.
I'm not sure how you'll fix this, but you need to read the logo file
into U2, and then dump it to your print job without the binary getting
corrupted.
The other way to do it (I'm pretty sure it's possible but I've never
done it) is to download the logo to the printer as a logo or font or
whatever, then have a code in your print job to print the prestored
logo.
Cheers,
Wol
