Use PCL to send pdf file in binary format directly to printer's ip address to print

Hi HP team,

I'm trying to use PCL to print some pdf files. I successfully done it when send pure text file to the printer. But when I use same PCL command to print pdf, I failed. Any suggestions?

I followed this guide to send pcl command to printer's ip address directly to print some files. But it only works with pure simple text like print 'ABC', if I send pdf file to printer's ip using same pcl command then the pcl command like tray selection command 'Ec&l1H' won't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
