PCL Code for envelope size #14

[tsuther]

I currently use C# and PCL escape codes to print envelope size #10. I need to also print envelope size #14 and cannot find the PCL escape codes for this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

I doubt that any common PCL-aware printer (LaserJet or business-class OfficeJet) supports this envelope size.

The response to a PJL INFO CONFIG Status Readback request on a LaserJet Pro 400 Colour MFP M475dn  shows that the following  paper sizes are supported:

PAPERS [22 ENUMERATED]
	LETTER
	LEGAL
	EXECUTIVE
	EIGHTPOINT5X13
	FOURBYSIX
	FIVEBYEIGHT
	A4
	A5
	A6
	JISB5
	HUNDREDBYONEFIFTY
	SIXTEENK195X270
	SIXTEENK184X260
	ROC16K
	JPOST
	JPOSTD
	COM10
	MONARCH
	B5
	C5
	DL
	CUSTOM

Similarly, for a LaserJet Enterprise M553x printer:

PAPERS [33 ENUMERATED]
	Letter
	Legal
	Executive
	Statement
	EightPointFiveByThirteen
	ThreeXFive
	FourXSix
	FiveXSeven
	FiveXEight
	A4
	A5
	A5Rotated
	A6
	RA4
	JisB5
	JisB6
	Size10x15cm
	Size16K195x270
	Size16K184x260
	SixteenK
	JPostcard
	JDoublePostcard
	Envelope9
	COM10Envelope
	MonarchEnvelope
	B5Envelope
	C5Envelope
	EnvelopeC6
	DLEnvelope
	Oficio216x340
	Any
	Custom
	AnyCustom

So the only option ( if the target printer supports the mechanism) would probably be to define a Custom paper size (PCL identifier = 101) and use this; you'd need to define the custom paper size via the Custom Paper Length and Custom Paper Width escape sequences (<Esc>&f#J and <Esc>&f#I respectively, where the # values are in decipoint units).

The model is LaserJet 4250 and we are still on Windows 7.

If your printer is a network model (i.e. with 'n' in the model name suffix), then you can obtain the equivalent information for your model that I posted for my printers, using the Status Readback tool in the PCL Paraphernalia application, available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu

I suspect that the information returned will confirm that Envelope#14 is not one of the supported paper sizes.
