- Description:
-
- This package contains a number of tools that come in handy with PCL
- printers (such as the HP LaserJet and DeskJet printers). Except for
- the PDumperLJ module all programs are command line driven (I just
- don't have the time to program GUIs for each of these).
-
- PDumperLJ: New PDumper for LaserJet (3 or newer) printers (works
- with some DeskJets but won't improve anything there).
- With LaserJets it can dramatically shrink the printout
- size.
-
- ASC2PCL: For LJ only: Fast, simple formatted text printing
- (thumbnails) and powerful search/replace engine.
-
- PackPCL: For LJ only: Creates PCL raster data from black & white
- sprites or compresses raster areas in a given PCL file.
-
- PlaceRaster: For LJ only: Use in conjunction with the output PackPCL
- creates from sprites.
-
- ReadPCL: Reads PCL raster data (b&w, CMY, CMYK) and converts it
- into sprites (1 or 4 bpp).
