PCL 5 Emulation

Document Option Commands

Object

There are three types of PCL downloaded objects:

■

Temporary

Temporary objects reside on the current resource and are 

deleted at the beginning and end of a job (unless Retain Tem-

porary is set to On or On Compatibility) or when the system is 

reset (E or receipt of Printer Job Language).

■

Permanent

These objects reside on the current resource and are 

retained when the system is reset (E or receipt of 

Printer Job Language).

■

External

These objects reside on the additional resources.

All objects are temporary when first created. They can be made per-

manent objects through PCL commands. Both temporary and perma-

nent objects can become external objects when the current resource 

is changed (for temporary objects Retain Temporary must be set to 

On, True, or On Compatibility). External objects become permanent 

objects when the resource in which they reside becomes the current 

resource.

User-downloaded PCL objects, with the exception of palettes, are 

identified by an ID when they are downloaded. The ID is usually set 

by the file performing the download. If not, the system will provide a 

default value (usually 0, but this can be set using the “install” DOC). If 

two objects of the same type are provided with the same ID, the last 

one received replaces the former. From that point on, downloaded 

objects are accessible by their IDs.
