Page 3: Introduction
Introduction The PRESCRIBE emulation option for Lexmark laser printers is an extended version of the firmware that includes a PRESCRIBE language processor. It enables the printer to be an effective replacement for Kyocera printers in select large accounts where the PRESCRIBE printer language is used. -
Page 4: Memorex Printer Compatibility Mode
Memorex printer compatibility mode The PRESCRIBE emulation option includes a custom extension to support an alternate font number table which is compatible with Memorex system printers. The font number mapping is as follows: Memorex font number Standard PRESCRIBE font number The font number is the parameter used with the FONT command. -
Page 5: Certification Test Process
Incomplete command set Most PRESCRIBE II commands are not supported. Some commands are partially supported. For example, the BARC (bar code) command is supported for only a subset of the possible bar code types. One base emulation supported Kyocera printers support a number of base emulations. The PRESCRIBE emulation option supports PCL 5e only. PCL 5e emulation is used for the entire print job, or the print job is formatted using PRESCRIBE commands. -

PRESCRIBE commands Command support for P41F The following table is a list of PRESCRIBE language commands. It includes base level PRESCRIBE, level II extensions, and a few custom undocumented commands encountered during certification testing at select customer accounts.

The even-numbered parameters (A2, A4, A6, and A8) specify a fraction in 100ths of an inch. Page Length and Page Width settings that are larger than the default margin limits are ignored. The factory defaults are set to be longer and wider than the largest possible size; thus, default bottom and right margins are used.
- Page 14 • The unprintable areas (no-print regions) for most Lexmark laser printers are 1/6 inch (or 50/ 300 pels) from the respective edges of the paper (except for A4, which has 40-pel left and right areas). Even though edge limits are outside of these unprintable areas the no-print regions are fixed and clipping may occur.
- Page 15 The default environment setting differences between PCL, Proprinter, and Line Printer include the following: Setting Proprinter Line Printer Top and Bottom Margins 1/2 inch Set to edge limits Set to edge limits Default Font Font Mode CR on FF PCL setting Character Wrap at Right Margin PCL setting Always wrap...
- Page 16 LA: Character centering This setting emulates certain Kyocera machines that center characters within the spacing. The factory default value is 1 (centering enabled). To disable character-centering use: !R! FRPO LA,0; RES; EXIT; If the placement of text appears to be wrong, then try changing this switch. LB: Memorex font group This setting allows the Memorex font group to be set.
- Page 17 FRPO LE parameter Paper source Tray 2 Tray 3 Multipurpose tray Tray 4 Tray 5 LF/LG: X and Y offsets for LE source These settings specify the X and Y offsets for shifting pages printed from the LE source. The offset is ignored if LE is set to 0.
- Page 18 Proprinter and Line Printer environments are supported, but native Proprinter commands are not supported. SEM 0 = Line Printer SEM 1 = IBM Proprinter X-24E SEM 2 = Diablo 630 SEM 5 = Epson LQ-850 SEM 6 = HP LaserJet III PCL 5e SEM 7 = HP 7475A (Plotter) In Kyocera printers, the FRPO P1 parameter is used to select the printer default emulation when the printer is first turned on.

Fonts Bitmap font simulation The following table lists the Kyocera resident bitmap fonts, and the PRESCRIBE emulation best-fit fonts which are used from the standard set of PCL resident scalable fonts. Selection of any of these fonts results in a compatible match with respect to character spacing and alignment. - Page 20 Resident bitmap font substitution table Font # Font # Height Pitch Kyocera font name Best-fit font name Port.
