    Printing Thru Dicom

    Good Day Gentlemen

    Have any off you got it right to set a Kyocera TASKalfa 3050ci to print from a Dicom device?

    I have spoken to General Electrics and they said they are bothered to load the Kyocera drivers on their devices. They have pre loaded drivers example HP, Lexmark ens.

    Please assist

    The problem you are going to run into is that the native language of Kyocera printers and MFP's is PreScribe. Not PCL, not PostScript, ... PreScribe.

    That means that the first 20 or 30 lines of print data are telling the machine what print language to change to. Without those lines of data you'll get PostScript errors. That is, thousands of pages of unvarnished print data code, one line per page, hearts flowers smileys etc.

    HP drivers never have these PreScribe commands and never will. It just won't work without Kyocera drivers. The End. =^..^=

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      In general, you should not have any issues printing to the Kyocera by using an HP driver. You should try to stay with PCL5 or Postscript, and as Blackcat states, you may get a lot of pages of garbage if the machine does not pick up the emulation correctly. If that happens, set the primary print language at the machine to match the language of the driver you are using; for instance, if you are using a Postscript driver, set the machine to KPDL emulation to prevent any pdl switching errors. You also will lose most advanced functions like finishing, stapling, drawer calls, etc., but duplex may be OK.
