Transforming three PCL files at the same time

In this example, you will transform three PCL files to create one AFP data stream file. The PCL files are called PCLFile5.pcl, PCLFile6.pcl, and PCLFile7.pcl. You write the output of the transform to the file called PCLFile0.afp. Another option you might want to specify is an image type of IM1.

Configuration assumptions: This example assumes these tasks have been performed by your system support group:

  • InfoPrint, including the pcl2afp transform, has been installed on the workstation on which the pcl2afp command is executed.
  • The pcl2afpd daemon has been started on the workstation on which the pcl2afp command is executed.

Using the command line options: To transform this example, enter this command on the command line:

pcl2afp -aim1 PCLFile5.pcl PCLFile6.pcl PCLFile7.pcl -oPCLFile0.afp
