Reject job types
Most printer manufacturers today offer both Postscript and PCL resident on the
printer. However, this does not mean that all printers support multiple Printer
Description languages (PDL’s). When an unsupported PDL job is sent to a printer,
undesirable results usually occur in the form of large amounts of unreadable printed
output. To prevent this from happening, XCounter can be configured to reject/delete
the print job and notify the user of such action. Any combination of the following PDL’s
can be accepted or rejected/deleted:

printer, or if XCounter can’t recognize a printer language such as Epson
ESC/P2. If an Unknown print job is not rejected, it will be counted as a plain
