1.9 Emulations and restrictions supported When PCL Barcode Flash software was developed, we attached a lot of importance to not making substantial changes to the standard functionality of the devices equipped with it. In most cases, the appropriate printer or multifunction device can be used in future with no changes, although of course it will have more functions on account of the barcode solution. In the following cases, it may be necessary to adapt the barcode solution or the printer settings/printer environment: - PCL Barcode Flash supports printer control languages PCL and PRESCRIBE only. No barcodes can be controlled from within other emulations (e.g. KPDL, Line Printer, etc.) if they are activated. - For technical reasons, it is not possible to use a number of API programs - the barcode solution is one of these - simultaneously. Therefore, solutions produced by Kyocera development partners, e.g. for data filtering or data encryption, cannot be run at the same time as PCL Barcode Flash. - No barcode activations can be made from PRESCRIBE macros because a parameter passing into the macro from "outside" is not possible. - Forms and macros based on PCL and PRESCRIBE, which are already stored on a CF/SD card can continue to be used and controlled as normal. This data has to be copied into the "Startup" partition on the PCL Barcode Flash CF/SD card so that it is automatically loaded into the RAM when the printer is switched on. 1.10 Barcode compatibility PCL Barcode Flash has been designed to comply with industry-standard barcode activations as far as is possible. As there is no specific standardisation here more or less equivalent to the ISO or DIN standards, the software should be tested in the existing system environments prior to each use to see whether the desired barcode is generated with any data streams already preset. An unlimited demo version is available for testing purposes, which can be used to establish the functionality of PCL Barcode Flash before buying it. 20
