Re: [U2] PCL Help
What are the end-of-line characters? If you are outputting only linefeeds, and nothing in the OS expands them to return-linefeeds, and the printer is not configured to read linefeeds as return-linefeeds, then you could get this behavior. Try a report with very short lines - does it stair-step? Quickest test/fix is to use the printer's front panel to configure end-of-line, to something like: LF = CR/LF (There is a whole host of problems similar to this that pop up when one thing changes, such as moving to a different physical printer or a different OS. The best solution is to include codes at the beginning of your PCL output to initialize everything conceivable. This isolates you from printer configuration variations, especially. Some other examples are symbol set, lines per page/vertical spacing, pitch, orientation, and paper size.)

RE: [U2] PCL Help
I did try and print another type of report, and it does look like it is stair-stepping. So I checked the printer here and the append CR to LF was set to a no. Changed that to a YES and the report printed fine. Thanks!!
