You can create PCL emulation, PostScript, Automatic, Automatic Plus, Automatic PDF, and raw data queues.
Automatic queues support both PCL emulation and PS data.
Automatic Plus queues support PCL emulation and PS data, as well as ImageQuick data (such as HTML, PDF, TIFF, and BMP).
Note: | Automatic Plus data queues only work with printers that support ImageQuick data. If you use an Automatic Plus queue with a printer that does not support ImageQuick data, the job does not print correctly. |
Automatic PDF queues support PCL emulation, PDF, and PS data.
Note: | Automatic PDF data queues only work with printers that support PDF data. If you use an Automatic PDF queue with a printer that does not support PDF data, the job does not print correctly. |
PostScript queues can print PostScript data.
PCL emulation queues can print PCL emulation and ASCII data.
Raw data queues pass the print data directly to the printer without adding any additional printer-related commands.
If you want to print HTML, graphics, or PDFs on a printer that does not support these formats, you need to print them through an application that converts these data files into PCL emulation or PostScript.
