Alphanumeric ID Command 52/'4' Operation not recognized by PRN file analyze Tool

[HughHood]

Michael,

While using the PRN file analyze function I noticed that it didn't recognize a valid operator for the Alphanumeric ID command:

In file PrnParsePCLBinary.cs at line #237 find:

case 21:
codeVal = "21 (0x21 = ): ";
codeDesc = "Delete macro association named by current Font ID";
break;

case 100:
codeVal = "100 (0x64 = 'd'): ";
codeDesc = "Media select";
break;

Between case 21 and case 100 should be added:

case 52:
codeVal = "52 (0x34 = '4'): ";
codeDesc = "Register a new pclResourceFile resource association file";
break;

See http://www.massmind.org/techref/language/pcl/alpha.htm for reference.

Generally, this command is seen in the form "&n16w4pclResourceFile" and is used after downloading a new or updated pclResourceFile to the \pcl\macros directory on PCL printers having a supported FSA (file system architecture) on either flash dimm/simm, EIO hard disk, or USB hard disk attached to the printer.

HP's Web JetAdmin uses this command in jobs it sends to download fonts and macros to a FSA-supporting printer. It can also be used manually for those constructing their own pclResourceFile after manually downloading fonts and/or macros to the printer's flash/hard drive.
