    Thumbs down AFP to PCL conversion or printer problem?

    After the conversion from Mainframe z AFP to PCL (35'000 pages)
    The printer KM Accuriopress 6136 printing correctly but some pages have the wrong customer logo (image), text is correctly. Example, print apple instead pear.
    Why is my print not printing correct image on the page but text is correctly?
    It's problem of conversion or from printer controller?
    If repeat the conversion, the print is correctly


    Thanks for aids

    Re: AFP to PCL conversion or printer problem?

    I would say that is your conversion software. It isn't creating raster images but instead using PCL resource control (customer image is PCL resource incorrectly mapped).

    Ulitmately you would need to intercept (Wireshark or Print to File) and examine PCL code with PCL code viewer (EscapeE) which will render PCL as 3rd party and if bad-file result is the same as being sent to printer then AFP-PCL conversion is spotty.

    If using embedded IBM conversion perhaps seek out 3rd party Software or Appliance from vendors such as MPITECH, with more options such as convert to PS/PDF for WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)
