RE: Staple and hole punch

[Justin Taylor <JUSTIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I found out why my *WSCST isn't working.  It seems our particular model doesn't support PJL codes.  So I'm looking at a PC5250 printer session.

Thanks

Per this message from Scott..
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200808/msg00450.html

The commands for stapling and hole punch are not standard, but you said you found the Canon codes.

Also per that message, some printer are picky about where they see the code.  Thus Scott uses his own custom transform based upon IBM's TSPRWPR instead of using the built in HPT.

You might have better luck without writing your own transform if you define the PRTF as AFPDS and make use of the STRPAGGRP and ENDPAGGRP DDS keywords.
