PCL 5: creating file PRN

Hello

I am trying to create an overlay, but the PRN file is never right. I think it has to do with the driver instaled and / or its setting. Can someone help me with the production of a good PRN file. I tried to create the PRN file with different drivers of printer, but without success.

This will also help if you can tell me what printer driver and / settings (and on what operating system) have been used to create the following analysis of a PRN file (this file PRN works)

> We open the .ai file in Notepad and use of the printer driver, we 'PrintoFile' to get the PRN file

This seems unnecessarily complicated and (according to me) wrong:

  • Opening an Adobe Illustrator file in a text editor such as NotePad application will show you the internal structure (owner) of this document, which is interpreted as plain text.
  • It does not display the content of the document as it would appear by opening just with Adobe Illustrator.
  • Printing from the view of the contents of the file Notepad generates a print job that will show just what NotePad - the internal structiure of the AI document shows.

You can open a bitmap file or an Excel spreadsheet, using Notepad and not expect to show you a picture or spreadsheet grid - of course, it won't.

Why not just open the original PDF (using an appropriate PDF Viewer application) or .ai file converted (using Adobe Illustrator) and "print to a file" directly from this application to generate your .prn file?

Even in this case:

  • You must make sure the .prn file was produced with the help of a PCL5 (not PCL6) printer driver.
  • You would need to 'clean up' the .prn file using the tool to overlay (or similar) to generate a file containing sequences acceptable in a macro PCL5.

>> ... I created the file PRN exactly in the same way as he has always done, somehow the printer does not recognize...

You will need to provide a few examples (sanitized data) to support your arguments:

  • The .prn file generated by your printer driver.
  • The "cleaned" version of this (in an .ovlor similar file).
  • A capture of the print job "envelope" which is the superposition of download and qualifying.

  • My PDF files creates a .prn file when I try to print.

    happened after I joined so I can convert to. doc.  It simply creates a .prn file, and then nothing happens.  How can I fix it. Have not found answers on the Internet.

    Hi seattlesnow,

    (I wish it would snow in Seattle!). I think that the fact that this issue has arisen once you have subscribed to ExportPDF may be a coincidence.

    But it seems that your printer print 'file', rather than the printer (a .prn file is an output file). What are your impression on? You see an option in the dialog box print, referring to the "Print to File"? If so, please uncheck that and try to print again.

    Best,

  • Executable file cannot create files

    I created a VI that creates files in its operation. It downloads files via FTP and also creates a config file, if it does not already exist.

    When I ran the VI without building in an application everything has worked well. Now that I have built in an application, he cannot create any files at all for some reason any.

    The strange thing is that it doesn't throw any errors. Part of my application FTP receives a list of files in a directory through then a loop using the 'get' vi file it draws in the FTP in the Toolbox of the internet. The for loop to zip right through the list of files without having to download them, but acts like he did download them. Its supposed to wait until it downloads or expires. As I said though, nothing in the VI can create all files. I'm trying to create a configuration file, but it is not created.

    I am even dealing with the case where when I use the 'VI path.vi current"from a stand-alone application, it will send a path like c:/directory/myprogram.exe/currentvi.vi. I analyze it to the directory of the real executable without a hitch.

    I am running XP, not vista, so it's not like I need to run it as an administrator or something. I'm puzzled. I hope that I have adequately described the behavior of this problem for you guys.

    Hi Rex,

    before installing all the drivers (unnecessary):

    Have you checked all the wires of the error? Especially in the creation of your program file section? All messages of that?

    Can you show your code (a light at least version)? You can replicate the problem with an example vi?

  • Why my recovery disk creation program cancels after 50% of creating files

    I'm doing a recovery disc for my Compaq laptop. It has Vista OS.  I use the recovery disc creation program.  The program starts and shows that it is creating files.  When the indicator progress says 50%, the program seems to stop, and after a few minutes, I get a message say that the process is canceled.  What can I do to create a recovery disk?

    Hello

    This recovery process belongs to HP Compaq, not Microsoft.

    They are the ones to ask about problems when you attempt to make the recovery of the disks.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/contact.html

    Or you could ask in their Forums:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/

    Here is the HP Compaq information on how to make recovery disks:

    Create a set of recovery disks operating system

    HP Recovery Manager to create a personal set of recovery disks. When you select the recovery disc creation process, the HP Recovery Manager examines the PC and determines how many virgins DVD discs will be necessary. According to the model, you will need up to ten or more CD - R or CD-R, or up to three discs DVD-R or DVD + R. The creation process can take up to an hour or more. Do not interrupt the process of creation.
    CAUTION: disks must be CD - R, DVD - R or DVD + r using No CD-R/W or DVD - R/W drives read/write because the creation process will fail.

    Create a set of recovery disks operating system by following the steps below.
    1. Click Start and enter the recovery in the field of research. Select Recovery Manager in the list to open the HP Recovery Manager window. Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted.
      Alternatively, click Start , all programs , Recovery Manager , and then Recovery Manager . Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted.
    2. Click Advanced options , the creation of recovery disks , and then click Next .
      The program appears to pause for about ten minutes while it examines the computer and calculates how many DVD-R or DVD + R discs are required.
    3. When you are prompted, put a blank disc in the optical disc drive and follow the on-screen instructions to create the recovery disks.
      NOTE: If a disc is inserted before the disc insert prompt is displayed, and the Recovery Manager does not recognize the new disk, press OK to clear the error message, then eject and reinsert the blank disc. In case this happens, without loss of data occurs, or damage the computer. It just "stops" the process of recovery that the Recovery Manager to identify the blank disc.

    After all, the recovery disks are created, label the disks and store them in a safe place. If the recovery disks fail when creating or damaged, you can order replacement of HP recovery disks.

    See you soon.

  • Cannot create file bar

    Hi people,

    I created the file bar in obiee 12 c (installed in windows 7)

    I'm following the oracle (http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/biee/BIESG/migrate.htm#BIESG1798) documentation and I am unable to create the folder bar and get the error (SERIOUS: failed to get the Singleton data using API oracle.bi.base.lcm directory.)

    API. Management.getSingletonDataDirectory.java.nio.file.InvalidPathException)

    .

    The following command to create file bar.

    Oracle:

    exportServiceInstance ('/ u01/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/bi ', 'ssi', ' / u01/workDir ', ' / u01/exportDir ' applicationName = None, applicationDesc is None, applicationVersion = None, includeCatalogRuntimeInfo = false, includeCredentials = None)

    Changed my coordinates

    In my local created 2 directories ('D:\workdir', 'D:\exportdir')

    exportServiceInstance (would be: \obiee12c\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\bi', 'ssi', 'D:\workdir', 'D:\exportdir', applicationName is None, applicationDesc = None, applicationVersion is None, includeCatalogRuntimeInfo = false, includeCredentials = None)

    Could you please help on the above question.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Mathieu,

    The settings you had (according to the guidelines of the screenshot) appears to be incorrect.

    Try below:

    exportServiceInstance ('/ D:/obiee12c/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/bi ', 'ssi',' / D:/workDir ',' / D:/exportDir ' applicationName = None, applicationDesc is None, applicationVersion = None, includeCatalogRuntimeInfo = false, includeCredentials = None)
