Text printing in different languages on PCL6 printer   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #471 of 474 |

Unless you have a PCL6 printer with resident fonts that include the characters for the languages (usually sold in specific countries), you will need to download the necessary font characters with your text in the PCL6 print stream.

The easiest way to have full language capability is to print through Windows with support for the specific language. 

We have a .dll that we license to OEM's where you can provide the text in UTF-8 character set and indicate the language.  And, then it extracts the appropriate characters from a 45,000 character Unicode typeface, converts them into a temporary download HP PCLETTO scalable typeface and provides you with the properly formatted text for a PCL5e or PCL6 printer.  You need to make sure that the PCL6 printer fully supports the PCL XL or PCL6 specification.  HP makes PCL6 with JetReady, which is a stripped-down implementation of PCL6 with support for only JetReady compressed graphics.  So, just like PCL3-5, PCL 6 has it's variations.

Bob Pooley
