I fail to understand why including the PCL command into your
setup_file does not work but it works when you insert it into
the data.
Your setup_file is fixed,ascii,unnumbered or bytestream  and
<Esc> is indeed a byte with decimal value of 27 ?
Is there indication that other PCL commands in this setup file
are recognized ?  Did you fully qualify the setup_file name in
NPCONFIG ?

You don't have any global data_intray option in NPCONFIG, do you ?

Goetz.

If the PCL command works in the data body, then we should get
it working in the setup_file as well.
