Description

Loads MPCL packets from the specified file. Generally you use
this function for fixed packets, such as formats. An application
can call this function as often as needed. It is not necessary to
open a particular file more than once in an application.

Syntax

short far pclOpen(char far* lpszFileName);

Parameters

lpszFileName

The fully-qualified path for the file containing the
MPCL packets. If it is in the same directory as the
application’s .EXE file, specify only the file name.

You must use the drive that the printer recognizes.
For example, if the files are on the PC’s C: drive, but
the printer refers to it as B:, use B: in the path.


Return Values

0 Successful.

Non-zero

An error occurred. For errors between 703-793, the
operator corrects the printer condition. Then the
application must call pclClearError to reset the Motion
Control subsystem. Refer to the MPCL

Packet

Reference Manual for more information.


Example

See “pclGetErrorMsg” for an example.
