1. OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the overview of Print Data Converter.

1-1. Support Information

Print Data Converter is supported by MC7 series, MB7 series, MC9 series, and ES and MPS models of those series.

1-2. What is Print Data Converter?

Print Data is composed of PJL (optional) and PDL.

PJL (Printer Job Language) : used for job-level printer control/Printer configuration/etc (e.g. Staple)

PDL (Page Description Language) : used for page-level control/image data/etc (e.g. Page Size)

Print Data Converter is the function that allows MFP to replace/add/remove the PJL and PDL of print job before job processing.

The purpose of this function is:

to fix some print problem tentatively (without ROM update)

to provide some solutions of printing function for the customer demand

Replace/add/remove PJL/PCL5 command

Usage example:

PJL

- Remove specific string from Job Name which will be shown in Job Log ("Microsoft Word - TEST.doc“ -->”TEST.doc”)

- Force Monochrome print (by changing PJL string - @PJL ....RENDERMODE=COLOR -->GRAYSCALE)

- Force Hold Print (@PJL ....PRINTMODE=NORMAL -->HOLD)

PDL (PCL5 command)

- Repair incorrect command to prevent unexpected output

(Replace incorrect A4 size command - “Ec&(26A” with ”Ec&l26A”)

- Force PaperSource Auto selection (Replace any cassette command “Ec&l#H” with AUTO command ”Ec&l7H”)

- Replace Paper related command - Size / Duplex / Source / etc...

See more details in Appendix B - changeable parameters.

As Print Data Converter changes incoming print data, be aware of the risk that unexpected result may occur. To reduce the

risk, limiting applied users using additional LPR queue is STRONGLY recommended.

(No definition / defining default LPR queue (“Print”) to ‘Queue’ element is not recommended because almost incoming

print data will be converted.)

*Printer Driver always contents PJL command except XPS.

2. How to apply Print Data Converter

This chapter describes how to setup and apply Print Data Converter

2-1. Print Data Converter Application flow

1) Analyze user’s issue (problem) / Investigate user’s demand (request)

2) Analyze actual print data

3) Create xml file which will fix the issue / satisfy user’s demand

4) Testing with created xml file

5) Install xml file via TopAccess and setup user’s print environment

Basically 1) to 5) should be done by Service Technician but only 5) is acceptable to be done by User’s Administrator. (TopAccess)

XML file is not installed in MFP by factory default to prevent print data crush by User Administrator’s wrong usage.

2-2. Create Print Data Converter XML file

Print Data Converter XML file can be created using text editor (i.e. Windows NOTEPAD), XML editor (i.e. Microsoft XML Notepad)

and so on.

2-2-1. Sample XML file

Following is the sample of XML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SearchPattern>@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=*</SearchPattern>

</SearchPatterns>

<Replacement>@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE</Replacement>

<OperationType>Replace</OperationType>

<Queue>MonoPrintQue</Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</SearchPatterns>

<OperationType>Replace</OperationType>

<Queue>LTLDtoA4que</Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</PDConverterList>

</PDConverters>

Above sample XML contents two converter settings. (Red and Blue)

1) Force Monochrome print to the job which is sent via “MonoPrintQue” LPR queue.

2) Change the page size from LT/LD to A4 for PCL5 job which is sent via “LTLDtoA4que” LPR queue

2-2-2. Overview of XML description

- One XML file can define MULTIPLE settings (Index starts from 0).

- Each setting can be enabled/disabled in XML file (Enabled=”true”/”false”).

- Need to define PJL or PCL for LanguageType to clarify the target (Controller’s behavior will change depend on this

setting).

- MULTIPLE SearchPattern can be defined.

- Wildcard can be used for SearchPattern (“*” for PJL, “#” for PCL and “?” for both LanguageType).

- Printer Queue can be defined. Limiting the user by Printer Queue will reduce the risk of crash or invalid print result by

unexpected conversion.

- An escape sequence must be entered as a backslash followed by an 8-bit hexadecimal number, e.g. "\x1B" for [ESC] ,

"\x0D" for [CR] or “\x0A” for [LF].

- The ampersand, the left and right angle brackets must be entered as escape sequences "\x26", "\x3C" and "\x3E"

respectively, since they are not allowed as literals in an XML document. (e.g. PCL5 page size A4 command

“Ec&l26A” should be defined as “\x1B\x26l26A”)

2-2-3. XML description details

Table.2-1

Element/Attribute type comment

Index integer mandatory

Name string optional

Enabled boolean mandatory

LanguageType string mandatory

SearchPattern string optional

Replacement string mandatory

Converter index (should starts from 0)

Converter name

“true” or “false” If “true”, the setting will be enabled. If “false”, the setting will be disabled.

“PJL” or “PCL” Types of language to convert “PJL”: Select when converting PJL. (Only PJL part will be the target of converting.) “PCL”: Select when converting PCL5 command. (PJL part will be skipped for converting.)

Define the string to search. (PJL or PCL5 command) Multiple SearchPattern can be defined in SearchPatterns element. Wildcard can be used. (see details in Appendix A)

Define the string to convert/newly add.

OperationType string mandatory

“Replace”, “InsertBefore”, “InsertAfter” or “InsertAtBeginning”

“Replace”: the string defined in “SearchPattern” will be replaced by the string defined in “Replacement”. “InsertBefore”: the string defined in “Replacement” will be inserted before the string defined in “Replacement”. “InsertAfter” : the string defined in “Replacement” will be inserted after the string defined in “Replacement”. “InsertAtBeginning”: the string defined in “Replacement” will be inserted at the beginning of print data.

Element/Attribute type comment

EndSequence string optional

Queue string mandatory

Stop converting when received defined command/string in the incoming print data stream. This definition is to reduce the risk of performance/unexpected converting. Multiple EndSequence can be defined in EndSequences element. Note that an escape sequence cannot be defined as EndSequence.

Print queues to which the converter is associated. Apply the converter to any queues if not specified. At least one queue must be specified when OperationType=="InsertAtBeginning" Multiple Queue can be defined in AssociatedQueues element.

2-3. Setting up LPR queue

This chapter describes how to add LPR queue to the MFP.

As Print Data Converter changes incoming print data, be aware of the risk that unexpected result may occur. To reduce the risk,

limiting applied users using additional LPR queue is STRONGLY recommended. On this understanding, if default queue is preferred

to apply Print Data Converter, define default print queue “Print” in ‘Queue’ element.

2-3-1. Adding an LPR queue via TopAccess

1) Access TopAccess in the administrator mode.

2) Click the [Setup] menu and [Printer] submenu.

3) To add a new LPR queue, click [Add] in Raw Job Setting.

Fig.2-1

4) Enter the queue name using up to 31 alphanumeric characters. The queue name is case sensitive so that “Queue1”

and “queue1” will be added as different queues.

5) Set up other items (See details in TopAccess Guide - Setting up Raw Job Setting)

6) Click [Save].

For example of sample XML in 2-2-1, two LPR queue should be created, such as “MonoPrintQue” and “LTLDtoA4que”.

In Raw Job Setting,

you can add up to 16 LPR queue names and specify the raw job setting for each queue.

2-3-2. Changing LPR queue on user’s environment

To print via created queue from user’s environment, setting up LPR queue is needed on user’s environment.

For example of Windows OS,

1) Open Printer Driver property and select [Ports] tab

2) Click [Configure Port...]

3) Select [LPR] at the [Protocol] group, enter queue name (For example “MonoPrintQue” for sample XML in 2-2-1.) in

the [Queue Name] box at the [LPR Settings] group, and then click [OK].

MonoPrintQue

Fig.2-2

For other environment, please see “Software Installation Guide”

2-4. Setting up Print Data Converter XML file from TopAccess

Print Data Converter XML file can be imported/exported/deleted by TopAccess. This chapter describes how to do it.

2-4-1. Accessing TopAccess in the administrator mode

1) To navigate to TopAccess, enter the following URL on the address box of your Internet browser.

http://<IP Address> or http://<Device Name>

2) The TopAccess web page opens

3) Click the [Administration] tab

[Enable] can be selected when Converter is imported.

If [Disable] is selected, Print Data Converter function does not work even Converter is imported.

2-4-5. Export Converter

1) Click [Export] in [Current Converter].

2) Print Data Converter Export window is shown..

Fig.2-4

3) Click File Name to Export

4) Click Close after Exporting

2-4-6. Delete Converter

1) Click [Delete] in [Current Converter]

2) Click [OK] on confirmation window.

3. Examples

This chapter introduces few examples of the solution using Print Data Converter.

3-1. [Example] Force Monochrome print and allow Color for specified users

Situation:

Customer would like to force Monochrome print over a period of time, but they would like to give a permission of color

printing to some people at the same time.

Solution:

To force Monochrome print, change the PJL command of color mode in print data

Actual print data from Windows is like:

Color setting can be changed with the following PJL.

@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=XXXX

Possible value of XXXX is “AUTO”, “COLOR”, “GRAYSCALE”, “2KR”, “2KG”, ...... (See Appendix C - Table C-04.)

To Force Grayscale, convert any value of above PJL to “GRAYSCALE”. Sample xml file is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SearchPattern>@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=*</SearchPattern>

</SearchPatterns>

<Replacement>@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE</Replacement>

<OperationType>Replace</OperationType>

<Queue>MonoPrintQue</Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</PDConverterList>

</PDConverters>

Result:

Print Data sent to ‘MonoPrintQueue’ queue will be printed in Grayscale mode.

Print Data sent to other queue will be printed without conversion so Color print is available.

Administrator can enable/disable this solution via TopAccess. (See 2-4-4.)

Limitation:

Print data of MacPPD and XPS cannot be controlled. For PCL5c, need to add PJL to change to Grayscale. (See

Appendix B).

3-2. [Example] Change any Paper Source command to AUTO command

Situation:

- Customer uses special application that output PCL5 data

- The application can only output PaperSource=UpperCassette(Drawer1) and PaperSource=BypassTray command

- Customer requires to behave as PaperSource=AUTO

Solution:

PCL5 PaperSource command is Ec&l#H (See Appendix D - Table D-02.)

To solve customer’s issue, replace Ec&l1H (UpperCassette command) and Ec&l2H with Ec&l7H (AUTO)

1B 26 6C 31 48

(Ec&l1H)

1B 26 6C 3748

(Ec&l7H)

Sample xml file is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</SearchPatterns>

<OperationType>Replace</OperationType>

<Queue>AutoQue </Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</PDConverterList>

</PDConverters>

Result:

Print Data sent to ‘AutoQue’ queue will be printed with Auto Paper Source selection.

Tips:

ESC code (0x1B) should be described as \x1B and ‘&’ should be described as \x26. (See Notes of 2-2-2.)

Using WildCard for SerchPattern also works as follows.

3-3. [Example] Allow printing from AS400/Unix/Linux on NO LIMIT BLACK function

Situation;

Even NO LIMIT BLACK function enabled, print jobs from AS400/Unix/Linux will be treated as invalid job. (Print jobs from

Windows are OK.) Customer requires to allow printing from AS400/Unix/Linux also.

Solution:

NO LIMIT BLACK function is the setting to allow printing Monochrome job even if Department management function

enabled. (See details in MFP Management Guide.)

The setting does not work for the print data from AS400/Unix/Linux because they do not content Color Mode PJL so that

MFP could not detect if it’s a Mono print or not. To solve this issue, add PJL Grayscale command.

<CASE 1>Print Job does not contain PJL command

-->Add UEL (Universal Exit Language: Ec%-12345X) and PJL at the beginning of the job

For CASE 1, Sample xml file is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</SearchPatterns>

<Replacement>\x1B%-12345X@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE\x0A</Replacement>

<OperationType>InsertAtBeginning</OperationType>

<Queue>BlackFreeQue</Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</PDConverterList>

</PDConverters>

Q&A

Q. Is it necessary to add UEL? How about just adding PJL at the beginning of the job?

A. It will work without UEL. However, adding UEL is preferred as a rule/protocol of a print data which includes PJL.

According to PJL Technical Reference, “All PJL jobs must begin and end with a UEL command

(<ESC>%–12345X).” “The UEL command at the beginning of the job must be immediately followed by the PJL

command prefix (@PJL).”

In case of combined job data, UEL is considered as a keyword of job separator. In almost cases, it works without

UEL but adding UEL will reduce the risk.

Q. Is it necessary to add Line Feed (0x0A) after PJL command? How about Carriage Return (0x0D)?

A. According to PJL Technical Reference, it is mandatory to add Line Feed (0x0A) at the end of PJL command.

Carriage Return (0x0D) can be optional command.

OK: @PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE<CR><LF>@PJL....

OK: @PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE<LF>@PJL....

NG: @PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE@PJL....

<CASE 2>Print Job contain PJL command -->Add PJL before/after certain PJL

For example, add @PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE<CR><LF> before “@PJL ENTER

LANGUAGE

For CASE 2, Sample xml file is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SearchPattern>@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE</SearchPattern>

</SearchPatterns>

<Replacement>@PJL COMMENT DSSC PRINT RENDERMODE=GRAYSCALE\x0D\x0A</Replacement>

<OperationType>InsertBefore</OperationType>

<Queue>BlackFreeQue</Queue>

</AssociatedQueues>

</PDConverter>

</PDConverterList>

</PDConverters>

Q&A

Q. How about adding PJL at the beginning of the job in this case?

A. Maybe it works but adding PJL before UEL=Universal Exit Language is not preferred because UEL is considered as

a job separator.

Q. How about adding PJL after UEL (Ec%-12345X) using ‘InsertAfter’ for OperationType?

A. It’s risky because UEL exists not only at the beginning of the job but also at the end of the job.

Reference:

Typical print job which contents PJL command is as follows.

PCL5 case:

<Esc>%-12345X@PJL xxxxx <CR><LF>

@PJL xxxxx = xxxx <CR><LF>

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>

<ESC>E . . . . PCL print description . . . . <ESC>E

<ESC>%-12345X

PostScript case:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL xxxxx <CR><LF>

@PJL xxxxx = xxxx <CR><LF>

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <CR><LF>

%!PS-ADOBE ... PostScript print description ...

<ESC>%-12345X

Appendix A - WildCard for SearchPattern

WildCard can be used only for SearchPattern definition. Usable sign is different depend on LanguageType as below.

LanguageType=PJL : [*] or [?] can be used

LanguageType=PCL : [#] or [?] can be used

The asterisk character ("*") and pound sign (“#”) substitutes for any zero or more characters while question mark ("?")

substitutes for any one character. A pound sign (“#”) should be used for PCL-LanguageType, since asterisk character (“*”)

may be part of a PCL5 command.

The following restrictions apply when performing a pattern search with or without wildcards:

1. Each search operates on data within a single line for PJL-LanguageTyped filters, and within a single command or

single line, whichever comes first, for PCL-LanguageTyped filters. A PCL command begins with an [ESC] (or "\x1B")

whereas a PJL command ends with [CR][LF] ("\x0D\x0A") or [LF] ("\x0A").

2. A wildcard may be included at the end or in the middle, but not at the very beginning of SearchPattern;

3. When OperationType==Replace and SearchPattern ends with a wildcard, the replacement operation will take place

from the non-wildcard part of SearchPattern to the end of the command or the next line terminator, whichever comes

first.

4. For PCL-LanguageTyped filters, if SearchPattern contains a wildcard, [ESC] character can be used only once at the

beginning of SearchPattern.

Q&A

Q. How to remove string/command?

A. Define blank as “Replacement” and select “Replacement” as OperationType

Q. When xml file contents multiple settings, is it possible to disable specified setting?

A. Yes. You can enable/disable each setting by changing the value of ‘Enabled’ entry (true/false - See detail in 2-2-3.)

Q. Is it possible to apply multiple converter settings to the same job?

A. Yes. Multiple settings can be applied to the same print queue. In that case,

Q. Is it possible to apply Print Data Converter to the job via Raw protocol?

A. Yes. Defining ‘Print’ (default queue name for MFP) to ‘Queue’ element will apply Print Data Converter to the print data via RAW

protocol. However, please NOTE that it is risky because every incoming print data will be conversion target. Other values except ‘Print’ for ‘Queue’ will not apply Print Data Converter for Raw protocol.
