You can create PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, Automatic, Automatic Plus, Automatic PDF, and raw data queues.
Automatic queues support both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation data.
Automatic Plus queues support PCL emulation and PostScript emulation data, as well as ImageQuick data (such as HTML, PDF, TIFF, and BMP).
Note: Automatic Plus data queues work only with printers that support Direct Image or ImageQuick data. If you use an Automatic Plus queue with a printer that does not support ImageQuick data, the job will not print correctly. |
Automatic PDF queues support PCL emulation, PDF, and PostScript emulation data.
Note: Automatic PDF data queues work only 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 emulation queues can print PostScript emulation 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 emulation.
