Page 18: Print Area Menu Item
Print Area Menu Item The printable area is the area on a sheet of paper within which a pel can be printed. Logical page is a conceptual entity that defines the area in which margins (top, bottom, left, right) may be set and the area in which the PCL cursor may be positioned. The physical page border is the actual physical boundaries of a page.
Page 19 The Whole Page setting only affects pages printed when using PCL emulation. If Whole Page is selected, the PCL language sets the logical page area equal to the physical page dimensions. Since the logical page dimensions and the physical page dimensions are the same, in theory, the cursor may be positioned anywhere on the page.

Page 61: Commands
Table 2-13: Control Codes (Continued) Code Function Carriage Return Space Primary Font Secondary Font Commands PCL emulation commands are multibyte strings (also known as “escape sequences”) that begin with the Escape control code ( control code notifies the printer that the characters that follow are to be interpreted as part of a command and are not control codes or data to be printed.
Page 62 margin beginning at column 63, the right margin of each printed page begins at column 63. That margin stays constant until a right margin command with a different value resets it or until the printer is reset. Parameters for each command are listed in the command tables beginning on page 2-51.

Page 89: Raster Image Graphics
Raster Image Graphics These commands utilize the raster area. Before sending data, set the presentation mode, the resolution, the compression mode, the raster height and width, and start raster graphics. These parameters are in effect until you overwrite them with a different command or there is a printer reset.
Page 90 Descriptions and examples of the different parameters appear on the following pages. Each example draws the same square outline 64 bits (8 bytes) wide by 64 scan lines long. Uncoded Data Uncoded Data is not compressed. Only those bytes needed to form the image are sent.
Page 91 Run-Length Encoded Data Run-Length Encoded Data is interpreted in pairs of bytes. The first byte: • Acts as a counter, or control byte. • Indicates how many times to repeat the data in the second byte. • Can be from 0 (no repetition) to 255. •...
Page 92 Delta Row Delta Row is a compression mode that identifies and transmits only those bytes different from the ones in a preceding row. The control byte consists of two parts: • High 3 bits: Number of bytes to replace +1 (1 to 8). •...
Page 93 Adaptive Compression Adaptive compression allows the combined use of compression methods 0 through 3 (Uncoded, Run-Length Encoded, TIFF, and Delta Row). It also allows the printing of empty rows (all zeros) or duplicate rows. • The Transfer Raster Data command size includes all rows (scan lines). •...
Page 94 Zlib Zlib is a generic compression method. It refers to a standard for compression as well as the library that implements the standard. The zlib compression method uses the deflate algorithm. This same algorithm is used by more widely known compression utilities such as PKZIP and GZIP. Compressed data is a series of variably-sized blocks.
Page 95 Additional Compression Modes When the compression mode is 1008 (Lexmark Adaptive), TIFF word and double- word can be printed using compression scan modes 254 and 255 respectively. This compression method sends a raster image as a block of raster data.
Page 96: Macros
Macros When creating a macro, first assign it an ID number. If this number is identical to an existing macro ID in RAM, the old macro is deleted when you specify the Macro Control Start Definition. Next, start the macro definition, send the contents of the macro, and stop the macro definition.
Page 97: Printer Job Language
CHAPTER 3: Printer Job Language Your printer supports complete Printer Job Language (PJL) commands, including certain commands that cause the printer to enter PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix B: “PJL Support” on page B-1.
Page 98: Kernel Commands
Notes: • Parameters enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) are optional and not required for command execution. • The PJL interpreter requires uppercase for the mands except the Universal Exit Language (UEL) command. The rest of the PJL command is not case sensitive. The UEL command is case sensitive. •...
Page 99 ENTER LANGUAGE Command This command causes the printer to enter the specified language, such as PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, or PPDS. Syntax: @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = language[<CR>]<LF> Notes: • language PCLXL • You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. ( all others can be mixed or lowercase.) Example: @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PostScript[<CR>]<LF>...
Page 100: Job Separation Commands
Job Separation Commands Your printer supports the PJL JOB and EOJ commands. When the printer receives a JOB command, the print timeout is multiplied by 10; when the printer receives a PJL EOJ command, the print timeout is reset to the user default. The appears on the printer operator panel display or through MarkVision Professional until an EOJ command is received or until the print timeout expires.
Page 101 Parameters: NAME = "job name" Use the NAME parameter to assign a character string name to a particular job. The name may be any combination of printable characters, spaces or horizontal tabs up to a maximum of 80 characters, spaces, or tabs. The enclosed in double quotes, as indicated by the command syntax.
Page 102 EOJ Command The EOJ command signifies the end of a print job. Syntax: @PJL EOJ [NAME = "job name"][<CR>]<LF> Note: Only use the EOJ command in conjunction with the JOB command. Parameter: NAME = "job name" Use the NAME parameter to assign a character string name to a particular job. The name may be any combination of printable characters, spaces or horizontal tabs up to a maximum of 80 characters, spaces, or tabs.
Page 103: Environment Commands And Variables
Environment Commands and Variables This section describes the printer environment variables and the PJL commands used to modify or query the variables.

Page 104 DEFAULT Command This command modifies the default setting for the specified environment variable and stores the setting in the printer NVRAM. The new setting is activated with the occurrence of the next PJL reset condition. Syntax: @PJL DEFAULT [command modifier:value] variable=value[<CR>]<LF> [command modifier:value] [command modifier:value] to be modified.
Page 105 variable=value The supported variables and values are listed in the tables beginning on page 3-12. Note: Variables may be modified by the DEFAULT command, except those marked Read Only. Some variables may only be modified using the PJL SET command. These variables cannot be modified using the DEFAULT command.

Page 285: Status And Error Messages
Status and Error Messages Printers return PostScript emulation error messages and status information to the computer through any active interface. To send information to the computer through the parallel interface, configure the interface as bidirectional. Tagged Binary Not Active Your printer responds and processes a Ctrl+T (x'14') command as a status query when: •...
Page 286: Status Messages
Status Messages Your printer responds to a Ctrl+T (x'14') status query on an interface by sending a one-line status message back to the host computer over the same interface. If the status query is received between print jobs and the printer is idle with no error conditions, an idle response is returned to the host computer.
Page 287: Switching Languages
CHAPTER 5: Switching Languages Your printer may support both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation. See your printer documentation for more information. This chapter describes ways to switch printer languages and explains when you may want to choose one method over another.
Page 288: Setting Smartswitch For Different Interfaces
Setting SmartSwitch for Different Interfaces You can customize your printer so that particular print jobs are sent to particular interfaces. For example, you may want to send all PostScript emulation jobs to the network interface and all PCL emulation jobs to the parallel interface. You can do so by choosing different languages for each interface from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional and setting the selected language to On for the interface you want.
Page 289: Sniffing
Sniffing Sniffing is: • Enabled when any End-of-Job point occurs. • Disabled when a SIC or PJL command within a valid printer language is received. The printer examines the received data stream, attempts to determine the type of data stream, and automatically switches to the proper language. The printer examines the active printer language and decides when an End-of-Job point occurs.
Page 290: Flash Memory And Disk
CHAPTER 6: Flash Memory and Disk Flash memory and disk devices are used to store permanent fonts, macros, and symbol sets. The disk device is also used to buffer print jobs, collate large jobs, and store job statistics.

Page 294 Part Number Part Number as it is stored in the flash memory card header. If the flash memory is formatted by the printer, the part number field is shown as (none). The part number field for the disk is not printed. Write Protected Indicates the entire flash memory or disk is write-protected.
Page 295 Type File types that can be stored on flash memory or disk have unique extensions. The following file types are recognized by the flash format used on earlier printer models; the name of the file type printed in the directory appears in parenthesis. .t1 (PostScript font) .sFnt5 (PCL scalable font) .bFnt5 (PCL bitmap font)
Page 296: Protection
Description The description field for fonts comes from the font header. The description field for macros or symbol sets is blank unless the description field in the file header is set by the PJL LRESOURCE command. See “Printer Unique LRESOURCE Variables” on page 3-52.
Page 297: Rewriting The Flash Content
Memory By using s, administrators can ensure data integrity and proper authorization. If flash memory is write protected, for example, users cannot delete existing files, format the device, or download new files to the device (without first specifying the ). A specific example might be a macro file of an authorizing signature that is stored on flash memory with a Read/Write .
Page 298: Accessing Files With Postscript Emulation
Accessing Files with PostScript Emulation File Naming Conventions For any PostScript emulation operator that requires a filename parameter, the filename can be one of the following: %device%filename Specifically references a file on a particular device. If the filename does not exist on %device%, no other %device% is accessed for a duplicate filename.
Page 299 Device names are case sensitive. They must appear exactly as shown. Each device (except the disk) has one synonym. For example, the flash memory can be referred to as This system allows for future expansion of multiple flash memory or disk devices. The disk device name provides for multiple physical units and multiple logical units.
Page 300 The value of this operator adds the extension .data to all filenames referenced when using PostScript emulation file operators. To prevent the .data extension from being added, issue the following PostScript emulation command: statusdict begin false setfilenameextend To add the .data extension automatically again, issue: statusdict begin true setfilenameextend The following example shows how to remove a file for the font myfont from the disk.
Page 301: Device Search Order
Device Search Order If you are using the PostScript emulation operators run, file, renamefile, status or eexec, you do not need to specify the device. If you omit the device name, devices are searched in the default order: disk and then flash memory. If the following PostScript emulation code is encountered, (myfile) (w) file the file on disk is used (since disk occurs before flash memory in the default search...
Page 302: Performance
Note: Do not leave the ROM device unmounted. All internal fonts are contained on the ROM device. In the previous examples, the devmount, devdismount operators must be used outside the server loop. We recommend that you place the requests in a stop context so that if the devices do not exist, error recovery can take place.
Page 303: Creating A Partition
For minimum acceptable job buffering performance, the hard disk should be able to read and write files at a sustained rate of 600Kb/sec. The Lexmark hard disk option supports this requirement. Some advantages of job buffering include: • The printer accepts print jobs more quickly.
Page 304: Disabling Job Buffering
Disabling Job Buffering When you disable job buffering, it takes effect immediately on the port you disabled. A POR is automatically performed when job buffering is disabled for any port from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional, so the unused memory resources can be reallocated.

Null modem cables, such as Lexmark part number 1038693 [15.24 m (50 ft)], will connect the converter cable to the printer. The illustration below represents the 25-pin connectors for the RS-232C cable (1038693).
Page 330 8-21 Interfaces Serial Communication Parameters (RS-232C) The following paragraphs show acceptable values for serial communication parameters. Voltage Level Range The maximum voltage level for control lines or data lines is +/- 25 positive V dc and +/- 25 negative V dc. A timing or control line is active if the voltage is more than +3 V, or inactive if the voltage is less than -3 V.
Page 331 Start and Stop Bits The printer receives data with 1 start bit and either 1 or 2 stop bits. The printer always sends 1 start and 2 stop bits. Parity There are four possible parity settings: Odd, Even, None, and Ignore. The port expects to receive data frames with an odd number of logical 1’s per byte.
Page 332 Data Flow Control Data flow control is accomplished through the following lines: • Data Set Ready (DSR) • Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Five data flow control protocols are available: • DTR pacing • DTR/DSR • XON/XOFF • XON/XOFF/DTR • XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR Your printer supports two modes in which both hardware and software data flow control protocols are performed.
