PCL code is printing through raw queue

Q: PCL codes are showing in my print job and I am using a raw print action.

A: This could be caused by any of the following:

If this is the case, you must either format the data differently on the sending side, or use a “text” type queue when that is not possible.

Format the data using a PCL level that the printer does understand.

Change the Windows print driver to one that supports the same PCL version that is in the file or use a “text” type queue in RPM if that is not possible.
