PCL escape command sequence on the printer

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a Toshiba e-series printer that needs some customerization. The issue I have has to do with automatic feed i.e the printer uses "manually feed paper".

The toshiba printer driver for SAP says..."Input Tray Selection

No PJL control is available, so it should be implemented using PCL escape command sequence.

*Automatic <esc>&l17H*

*Drawer 1 <esc>&l01H*

*Drawer 2 <esc>&l4H*

*LCF <esc>&l5H*

*Drawer 3 <esc>&l5H*

*Drawer 4 <esc>&l21H*

**Bypass Tray <esc>&l2H** "

I dont know how/where this PCL would be changed. Can you assist please?

I'm pretty sure this needs to be changed in the printer initialization string of the SAP device type for each format. Here's how:

SPAD - Full Admin

Device Type tab - enter in your device type

Click the implemented formats (F6)

Go into Change mode

Double click a format

Double click printer initialization

This is the code you need to alter.

Try to find the section for PCL.01. You may see a string like your examples but commented out (# in front of it). Uncomment and change to the desired command. Normally all need to change are the characters between the & and the H.
