All provided demo files can be found in the TestFiles folder of the W-ELP Install Folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\WELP\TestFiles). They can be loaded end edited into any enhanced ASCII editor like Notepad++. However, as the file contains PCL5 Printer Commands, they CANNOT be printed from of a Windows application. They need to be sent directly to the printer or to a printer queue! The Install Tab and the Configuration Tab do offer a way to test and reprint captured data streams.
A_SIMPLE_ELP_TEST.PCL | This is usually the file for testing, If a queue was successfully activated. If the printed document shows bar codes then everything is fine. |
Barcode_1D.pcl | Contains a huge list of 1D bar code samples. |
Barcode_2D.pcl | Same as before but now 2D bar codes. |
Barcode_Kyocera.pcl | Shows how to use bar codes from Prescribe using the BARC command - note that the Emulation has to be enabled! |
Barcode_Overview.pcl | Prints samples of bar codes and explains how they can be setup and configured. |
Barcode_QR.pcl | QR bar code usage incl. Swiss QR Code |
Barcode_QR2.pcl | Usage of the option CONVERT, TAG and ECI with the QR bar code |
Barcode_QR_GS1.pcl | Usage of the GS1 variant of the QR bar code. |
chinese_traditional.pcl¹ | Demo page printing traditional Chinese characters in double byte mode. |
chineseSimplified_Korean.pcl¹ | Demo page printing simplified Chinese and Korean characters in double byte mode. |
CMC7.pcl | Sample of all implemented characters of the CMC7 font. |
ELPStatusPage.pcl | Prints a ELP Demo Page and gives some information about error logging. |
imb_test.pcl | Sample usage of the US Intelligent Mail bar code (IMb). |
Input_tray_test.pcl | Helps to determine the PCL input tray number of a printer. |
INVOICE.pcl | Prints en example of how invoices can be duplicate with watermarks etc. |
LetterHead.pcl | This Demo Page demonstrates how to print automatically forms, using ELP command in the data stream |
Output_tray_test.pcl | Helps to determine the PCL output tray number of a printer. |
PCL_MacroCall.pcl | This Demo demonstrates how ELP can replace a printer Flash Memory or hard disk for forms and/or font management, right away, without any changes to the PCL macro commands. |
SAP_Unicode.pcl | Unicode SAP Test file. |
Trigger.pcl | This example demonstrates how to print automatically forms, using an ELP_Command, which is triggered by some information found in the data stream. |
Unicode_Internal_Fonts.pcl¹ | Print samples of fonts build into the printers in quite a number of languages. |
¹ Needs to have the ELP Unicode fonts installed, mainly used for SAP international printing
Hint: Capturing data streams for testing and reprinting can be done using the debug functions of W-ELP and is described in the chapter Need help? It is suggested for implementers to copy the captured files, or spool files out of the windows\system32\spooler\printers directory in the W-ELP folder for 2 reasons:
-
You have comparable print files, which just may help in the future if suddenly something does not work, and you can prove that the system was changed.
-
You can use this test function for fast reprinting without the need of an Admin or User.
In the Workpath folder (default: c:\ProgramData\Welp) several .ini files can be found, they provide examples for:
autoprint.ini |
Example how to print on every printed page the proper watermark / company letter head etc. depending upon page size and orientation. The forms must be generated and are not part of the demo. |
Example.ini | Configuration file for some provided examples. |
Invoice.ini | Configuration file for some provided examples. |
Trigger.ini | Configuration file for some provided examples. |
Note: A blank "factory shipped" convert.ini file is located as a copy in the folder c:\ProgramData\Welp named convert.ori
