RE: PCL Problems on HP Deskjet 400
Interesting how might I go about testing this? Could I change the renderer and how would I do it? Could I test this by re-arranging PCL code in the document I produce? I render an XML stream into a PCL document, then I send it to the printer in a separate step. How could I 'band' this? -Tony -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9/13/01 2:34 AM Subject: Re: PCL Problems on HP Deskjet 400 Hi I don't know much about PCL, but I know this: PCL laser printers usually build a whole page in memory and then print it to paper. They normally have a decent amount of memory. Especially older ink jet printers like yours only have a small buffer, so the page has to be delivered in bands (I think). That's probably what causes your problems. Maybe the PCL renderer would have to be changed so it can output a page as a sequence of bands. To visualize, see here: +-+ | Band 1 | +-+ | Band 2 | +-+ | Band 4 | +-+ | etc.| +-+ | | +-+ I think this is really what messes up your headers and footers.

RE: PCL Problems on HP Deskjet 400
Very interesting and helpful information. My understanding was that the renderer would render the page as it is laid out in the XSL file, and since the header is near the top (with text and graphics) I find it odd that it is rendered and appears at the bottom of the page. The text itself looks like it is in a much smaller font, but the sizes on the page on relative to each other. My main concern now is getting things to appear in the proper order - either with or without an image. If I take out the header portion, things seem to work better.

I am not sure if it has been suggested before, but perhaps it may be better (easier) to just have a stylesheet generate plain text and not use FOP at all. We have done this for some of our more simple reports (that do not need to look pretty). This has the added benefit of processing much faster (in our case anyway).

Looking for Simple FOP Rendering Example
Hello, I'm trying to test a piece of FOP code that someone else wrote within an application as a standalone. I basically need to have three inputs: An XML file An XSL (the fo file) PCL.PDF or TXT flag. I am trying to write something leveraging the code we have but I feel I am getting 'lost in the woods' and that it should be simple just to send these params through as a benchmark.

FOP Speed

FOP PCL Rendering - Please help!
Hello, I am trying to render a document using FOP - PCL. I am seeing a few issues though: 1) I have a little image in GIF format that I am rendering in the page - it comes all distroted and blurry - do I have to change it to another format? 2) I get errors in the log file from my app, such as WARNING: Number of cell columns under table-row not equal to number of table-columns repeated six or so times. The formatting of the printout looks a bit off (it seems to be missing a few spaces at the top ) but this looks fine when rendered as a PDF. Are there any good guidelines folks have for a stylesheet that would be used to render PCL vs PDF? 3) Finally, does anyone know what level of PCL is actually being generated? I want to make sure this will work and be interpretted on as many HP printers as possible - the two that I have tried it on have the above issues of blurry images and header spacing. I'd really appreciate anyone willing to help! Thanks very much, Tony - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
