PCL format

edited March 2003 in Devices
I would like to know how to save a report to PCL format so that it can be
faxed later. DCX, PCX and PCL are the only supported formats. I also have
Extradevices installed.

Delphi 5 professional and RB 6.03

Thank you

    We are not aware of a PCL device. If you are very familiar with the PCL
    format, then you could create your own report device class. Our device
    architecture is open. Please take a look at the text file device in the
    RBuilder\Source\ppFilDev.pas for an example of a simple device class and the
    methods it needs to override. Also, there are routines which show how to use
    the draw commands on the page objects in order to create the data in a file.
