Problem:

PC_PRINTER routines and RAW printing for sending data to electronic mailboxes

Resolution:

Some multi-function printer/copier/scanners have the ability to store reports in electronic mailboxes. The PC_PRINTER_OPEN routine can be used to display a dialog box that may have options to send to mailboxes, but any embedded PCL (Printer Control Language) code in the print data will not work. Using PCL code/printer escape codes, the RAW print method should be used instead. This method is demonstrated in the printraw demo available at http://supportline.microfocus.com/examplesandutilities/nesamp.asp

under the Printing category.

Advanced functions such as sending to electronic mailboxes are actually implemented by using PJL

(Printer Job Language) instead of PCL, embedding both in the print data is possible. For more information to consult the printer/copier/scanner's documentation for PJL codes because this is a machine-specific environment.
