Why this file
The HL-4150CDN emulates PCL6 and BR-Script3 (PostScript 3). This PPD encodes
every device setting as PostScript setpagedevice, for example:
| PPD option | Emitted PostScript |
|---|---|
InputSlot Tray2 |
<</ManualFeed false /BRTraysw false /BRFeeder 1>> setpagedevice |
InputSlot MPTray |
<</ManualFeed false /BRTraysw false /BRFeeder 4>> setpagedevice |
Duplex DuplexNoTumble |
<</Duplex true /Tumble false>>setpagedevice |
BRPrintQuality Black |
<</BRProcessColor 1>>… <</BRRenderMode true>>setpagedevice |
BRColorMode Normal |
<</UseCIEColor true>>… <</BRColorMode 0>>setpagedevice |
BRMediaType Recycled |
<</MediaType (RECYCLED)>>setpagedevice |
CUPS's pstops filter injects the selected option code, and the PPD's
*JCLBegin / *JCLToPSInterpreter / *JCLEnd entries wrap the job in PJL.
This lets the HL-4150CDN be driven with a plain PostScript queue, so the
container does not need Brother's 32-bit Linux CUPS wrapper/filter
(brlpdwrapperhl4150cdn) or its Ghostscript rasterisation step.
