  • Command line based, ideal for use in batch mode unattended operation

  • Uses the same Intellifont font scaling technology built into LaserJet printers
  • Includes true LaserJet 4 font outlines
  • Reads 300 and 600 dpi multi-page print files
  • Includes HP-GL/2 vector graphics support

LaserJet PCL to Raster and Fax Conversion
JetPCL can accept LaserJet PCL input including scaleable HP printer-resident fonts, downloadable bitmap and scaleable fonts, HP A-Z cartridges and produce a variety of raster and fax compatible standard bitmap formats. Because JetPCL accepts PCL input, it enables your fax to produce the high quality LaserJet output expected from WordPerfect, Excel, Word, dBase and any other program with a Hewlett-Packard printer driver without any manual post-processing.
Powerful and Fast
When it comes to performance, JetPCL is in a league of its own. It provides full HP compatibility with an AGFA Intellifont font engine which uses true font rasterization, not soft font approximations. And it is more than five times as fast as other products. Typical conversion times can be around 5 pages per second or higher.
PCL5e and HP-GL/2 Support
JetPCL includes support for LaserJet 4 and 5 printers using PCL5e printer escape codes. It provides support for downloadable scaleable TrueType and Intellifont PCL5 soft font data. Included with JetPCL are the same 45 scalable typefaces as built into the LaserJet 4 range of laser printers. JetPCL also includes support for HP-GL/2 that is commonly used for drawing vector images within a PCL document.
