Detailed Description

Author

Juergen Borleis

This driver creates wire data in the format PCL6 and should work on all of these variants:

• HL-2130: base model, USB interface only, GDI wire data only
• HL-2140: base model, USB interface only, GDI wire data only
• HL-2150: additionally network interface, GDI wire data and some built-in charsets (PCL6)
• HL-2170: additionally network and WLAN interface, GDI wire data and some built-in charsets (PCL6)

These variants have one paper tray and a manual feed. This driver supports the USB interface only.

    { .option = "THICK", .description = NLS_("Thick 90g...105g"), }, 
    { .option = "THICK2", .description = NLS_("Thicker 105g...161g"), },

    { .option = "ENVTHIN", .description = NLS_("Thin envelope"), },
    { .option = "RECYCLED", .description = NLS_("Used"), },
}

The printer can handle some various media differently. This list contains the known media types the printer firmware supports.

These are the names the printer "accepts" for the "\@PJL SET MEDIATYPE = <name>" command:

"REGULAR", "THICK", "THICK2", "TRANSPARENCY", "THIN", "BOND", "ENVELOPES", "ENVTHICK", "ENVTHIN", "RECYCLED"

These names are reported by the printer itself via '@PJL INFO VARIABLES' command.

Note

Checked with the HL-2140 printers only.

Attention

The "Regular" entry must be the first one in the list!
