|Insert 'You would need to make a PCL Macro file with the commands to draw the letterhead and footer inside it (see <a href="/techref/language/pcl/lj1690.htm">Macros</a>). If your graphic includes a bitmaped logo, you will need to include that as PCL commands (See <a href="/techref/language/pcl/pictures.htm">Bitmapped Pictures</a>). The completed macro would then need to be enabled for overlay (&amp;f4X) and will then appear on top of each printed page. It's important to avoid any printer reset or macro commands between the definition and overlay of the macro and the actual print data.

I would like to put a letterhead and a footer graphic as an overlay on a dos output letter(.bmp, but I can convert to any format).  Please tell me how to do this; the dos program allows sending an initial and ending file command for letter printing, as well as a few custom entered esc sequences during the printing.  Thank you!!</BLOCKQUOTE>

THANK YOU for offering to make a macro and code for me.  I simply want to put a header (letterhd.bmp) and a footer (letterft.bmp) as an overlay on the top and bottom of a DOS program printer output (ie letterhd on top, then the letter, then letterft on the bottom). I need to the macro to bring in the header - allow the letter, then bring in the footer - which are .bmp files.  THANK YOU!<BR>

Peter  Silversmith[pS-email-U32] Questions:

Please forgive silly questions - but pcl is all new to me. I am simply trying to put a graphic (BMP) on the head and another on the foot of letters in a dos program that allows for esc sequences to printer.<BR>
<BR>
To make a &quot;Macro&quot; - is this a simple, separate TEXT FILE of commands? If so, how is it named so that it can be referenced by the pcl execute command? What command is used to reference the bmp file to load it into the macro -- or should I convert the bmp to something else for easier usage?  Should I just pull in the graphic on top and bottom, or use an overlay with both header and footer that allows the letter text in between the 2 graphics? If so, how to overlay?<BR>
Perhaps an example of a COMPLETE macro that loads a graphic with ALL its steps would clarify.  THANK YOU!<BR>

|Insert 'The macro can be stored as a file, but with a graphic image in it, it will NOT be a text file, it will be binary. The data (from the file or otherwise) must be injected into the print job, after any reset or page setup commands, and before any actual data is printed. The graphic print commands are used to represent data, and can be placed inside the macro definition, but they are not in the BMP format, the BMP file must be converted to PCL commands. The macro overlay would typically include ALL the graphics to be overlayed on the page. Once the macro is defined, it is overlayed on each page with the macro overlay command. An example could be developed as time allows.' at: '<!-- 40321.2460763889 EOR -->'

|Insert 'All the commands in a PCL Macro have to match the print job in terms of resolution, dimensions, etc... or you must specify before the commands in the macro what those parameters are, and use the 3x or 4x overlay command so the parameters of the original print job are restored for the next page of print data. If the resolution of the converted logo isn't being specified, that would cause this sort of distortion. Another possibility is that the converted pcl commands were edited or processed in some way by a program that removed the high bit from any binary bytes or dropped nulls (binary zeros) from the image data. This is more likely in cases were the distortion includes random horizontal offset and "fuzz" or missing lines.' at: '<!-- 40324.3206018519 EOR -->'

I converted a letterhead logo to .pcl --  on a pcl reader, it looks great.  However when the logo is printed as an overlay on letters, it is very distorted - too large, spacing between lines off, symbols crooked.<BR>
<BR>
Is there a way to correct this?  Thank you!<BR>
