1.9 Emulations and restrictions supported
When PCL Barcode Flash software was developed, we attached a lot of importance
to not making substantial changes to the standard functionality of the devices
equipped with it.
In most cases, the appropriate printer or multifunction device can be used in future
with no changes, although of course it will have more functions on account of the
barcode solution.
In the following cases, it may be necessary to adapt the barcode solution or the
printer settings/printer environment:
- PCL Barcode Flash supports printer control languages PCL and PRESCRIBE
only. No barcodes can be controlled from within other emulations (e.g. KPDL,
Line Printer, etc.) if they are activated.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to use a number of API programs –
the barcode solution is one of these – simultaneously. Therefore, solutions
produced by Kyocera Mita development partners, e.g. for data filtering or data
encryption, cannot be run at the same time as PCL Barcode Flash.
- No barcode activations can be made from PRESCRIBE macros because a
parameter passing into the macro from “outside” is not possible.
- Forms and macros based on PCL and PRESCRIBE, which are already stored
on a CF card can continue to be used and controlled as normal. This data has
to be copied into the “Startup” partition on the PCL Barcode Flash CF card so
that it is automatically loaded into the RAM when the printer is switched on.
1.10 Barcode compatibility
PCL Barcode Flash has been designed to comply with industry-standard barcode
activations as far as is possible. As there is no specific standardisation here more or
less equivalent to the ISO or DIN standards, the software should be tested in the
existing system environments prior to each use to see whether the desired barcode is
generated with any data streams already preset.
An unlimited demo version is available for testing purposes, which can be used to
establish the functionality of PCL Barcode Flash before buying it.
