ScriptServer for OpenVMS version 5.0 supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL5 language and Printer Job Language (PJL). ScriptServer will attempt to determine what level of PCL/PJL support your printer is capable of handling, however, you may need to define a logical to explicitly define the PCL level:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM SSV$device_PCL_SUPPORT level
where "level" is one of the following options:
Level | Description | Applicable Printers |
FULL | For printers that support all PJL commands. | HP LaserJet 4 Series HP LaserJet 5 Series |
LIMITED | This level only supports the ENTER LANGUAGE and COMMENT PJL commands. | HP LaserJet 3si QMS printers IBM/Lexmark printers |
NOPJL | No PJL commands are sent to the printer. Flag and Trailer pages are not supported in this level. | Various older model printers |
NONE | PCL5 not available on this printer. | Apple LaserWriter Series |
If this logical is defined to any level except NONE, or if ScriptServer has automatically determined that PCL is available on a printer, characteristic 4 will be set on that queue. If characteristic 4 is not set on the queue, ScriptServer will be unable to process PCL files properly.
If your printer doesn't have a PostScript interpreter, and ScriptServer cannot conduct a dialogue (no backchannel), you will need to define a logical to explicitly disable the printing of PostScript files on that printer. Define the logical as follows:
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM SSV$device_POSTSCRIPT_SUPPORT FALSE
This will also disable characteristics 8 and 9 on that queue. Please note that the Script Menu and Script Command will not work on a PCL-onlyprinter.
Note: ScriptServer logicals can be placed in the configuration file SCRIPTSERVER:SSV$CONFIG.SSV instead of defining them in the SYSTEM table.
