First line prints to the left. The rest prints ok.

[John Town]

Hi,

We have a Xerox printer configured in our rx4640. We configured the printer and everything except the first line prints ok. Example:

Lucy Olivo
PO Box 3338
Puerto Rico

Should be

Lucy Olivo
PO Box 3338
Puerto Rico

These are the PCLs used:

port="${ESC}&l0O"
land="${ESC}&l1O"
landCond="${ESC}&l1O${ESC}&l5.7C${ESC}&l2E${ESC}&l66F${ESC}&k10H${
ESC}&a0L"
portCond="${ESC}&l0O${ESC}&l5.7C${ESC}&l2E${ESC}&l132F${ESC}&k10H${
ESC}&a0L"
courierBoldCond="${ESC}(${ESC}(s0p17h0s3b4099T"
courierBold="${ESC}(${ESC}(s0p12h0s3b4099T"
simplex="${ESC}&l0S"
duplex="${ESC}&l1S"
duplexTumble="${ESC}&l2S"

I don't know where to fix the problem in the file. Has any one seen this?

[Bill Hassell]

You're missing the most important part: how do you use those escape sequences? The problem is with the codes in front of the first line which the printer isn't showing. Since there is probably a bunch of software between the name/address text and the printer, you'll need to somehow capture the print stream into a file. If you use the lp spooler, simply disable the printer then print a sampl job. The text to be sent to the printer is now in the directory /var/spool/lp/request under the name of the printer. The c--- file is the control file while the d--- file is the data for the printer. Display the data in hex like this:

xd -xc dA0004hpd370

You will then see the printable characters as well as the codes for the escape sequences. The codes must be exact - fonts can make the i l 1 characters very easy to misinterpret.

Since you now have the data file, it's possible to edit the file to remove or change the codes until it prints correctly.

[John Town]

I did the command # xd -xc dfA101vmap1prd and this was displayed. Are the 4 digit numbers the escape sequences? How can I associate them with the codes of the queue?

[Bill Hassell]

The man page for ascii (man ascii) will decode the hex values. Here is the first line:

0000000 2020 204a 5541 4e20 2020 2020 2020 2020
J U A N

0000000 is the line number
20 is hex for space so 2020 is two spaces. 204a is a space and the letter J. 5541 is UA and 4e20 is N plus a space. The rest of the line is all spaces. This isn't the example you showed above but there are no escape sequences at all in the test you posted.

FYI, an escape sequence such as $port in your example would show in hex as 1b26 6c30 4f which is ESC & l 0 O (that's lowercase l, zero and capital O). There are no escape sequences at all in the listing you posted.

Hi Again,

I decoded the spool file and everything looks fine. 202020 are the 3 spaces that are supposed to be before printing it. The problem is when the printer receives the spool file.

This is the file of the queue created for the printer. I don't know which one is telling the device to start printing to the left in the first line.

Hi Bill,

I think that a carriage return is needed before it starts printing the first line.

Using the last queue file I posted, how do I tell the printer to do just that?

[Bill Hassell]

This is going to take a while to figure out. You are printing using rlp to the printer which knows nothing about special printer options. This is a heavily modified version of the HP-UX standard script which copies the print job into a temporary file that contains the required codes. Then rlp is called to print the result. The good news is that you can save the temporary file to see exactly what is being sent to the printer. As far as why one space is missing, you have to guarantee the original data indeed does start with 3 spaces, then look at the temp file which have a bunch of escape sequences. A mistyped escape sequence inside the script will cause the printer to do something unexpected. Debugging this will take a lot of testing. I would try several other options to see if another set of printing options prints the first line correctly. Then change just one option to see which one changes the first line.

[John Town]

Problem solved. Had to add lines to the script.
