Hi

I have some troube to generate the PCL code for my 7110

 

I define the custom paper (code 101) I send the Custom Paper Length and Custom Paper Width escape sequences (<Esc>&f#J and <Esc>&f#I respectively.

 

The expected size is 330mm x 914mm. Everything looks like fine expect it prints a strip of about 210mm width. The "image" is not shrinked but ( 330 - 210 )/ 2 are missing on each side

 

I even tried to send the paper size escape sequences both before and after the W and L espace sequences

 

Correct me if I am wrong, the value I have to pass is "9300" as $39$33$30$30?

Thanks

 

Patrick

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

What application are you using? Are you looking to create a custom size paper? Let us know the Operating System installed on the device your Printer is connected to.

 

Thanks 🙂

Hi

Yes I am trying to create a custom size : 330mmx914mm.

 

According with some previous (archived) subjects, I have to pass the <esc>&l101A, the width ( 9300) and the height (25900) (see above)

 

Everything works fine for formats such as the super-B, for which I pass <esc>&l16A and even no length nor width. I tested also the A4, it works fine.

 

For my large format, it prints only the central part of +-210x914 and left blank two strips of 60x914 left and right.

 

Strictly speaking, it is compiled with gcc and running on Linux but it can run on any platform there is a C compiler, an OS and a network or USB stack

 

Do I need a memory extension?

 

Regards
