Introduction

The Enhanced Laser Printing Print Server Processor (/ELP) is a software tool based

mainly upon PCL 5 and with some restrictions also on Postscript data streams. PCL

is Hewlett-Packards Printer Command Language which is used by nearly all Laser

and Business InkJets printer. The ELP implementation does follow as much as

possible industry standards. The available functions are printing:

•All known 1D barcodes plus the 2D code: PDF 417 and UPS Maxicode in PCL

and Postscript, as well as Data Matrix in PCL only.

•A Kyocera PreScribe emulation for their way of barcode printing

•Electronic Forms, with de- / encycryption of forms and data streams, as well as

compressing data streams (Decompression and decryption in the printer using

an ELP Firmwareentension DIMM or SD / MFCard.

•Including reprints with additional forms and paper path settings

•PDF direct printing to Postscript printers, or postscript to PCL

•Monitored printing, error recovery and user information

Intelligent trigger routines enable any product function on demand. In addition, ELP

also provides a simple way to change or erase any data stream code.

The software can be installed on the following operating systems:

•MS NT based Windows systems. Because ELP does use only a printer queue,

the print data can be received from any platform to be sent to any platform.

•Any Unix or Linux platform handling print files and/or installed as a pipe

directly in the LPR command using STDIN/OUT methods.

•AIX and Solaris, usage like Unix

•AS/400 (with some limitations)

•VMS

•DOS or as sources in your application
