Page 13: Pcl Emulation
CHAPTER 2: PCL Emulation When you select PCL emulation as the printer language, the printer supports the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet Printer Command Language. This chapter shows how to select PCL emulation and discusses PCL emulation commands, along with resident PCL emulation font and symbol set support. To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: “PCL Support”...
Page 14: Using Your Software Program
Using Your Software Program To select PCL emulation, use the Printer Job Language (PJL) Enter Language Command. See “ENTER LANGUAGE Command” on page 3-3 for more information. See “Printer Job Language” on page 3-1 for the syntax and use of PJL. Warning: When you change printer languages, you may lose some or all previously downloaded resources, unless...

The width of the logical page for A4 paper can be changed from the printer operator panel or your software application. Paper ID 99 will be supported for backward compatibility with other Lexmark printers. Paper ID 99 has the same logical paper size as ID 100 (compatible with HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx) but is 8 pels wider than the Lexmark 4039.
Page 17 The width of the logical page for A4 paper can be changed from the printer operator panel or your software application. Paper ID 99 will be supported for backward compatibility with other Lexmark printers. Paper ID 99 has the same logical paper size as ID 100 (compatible with HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx) but is 8 pels wider than the Lexmark 4039.
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 25 This font is not implemented in the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050. This font is not implemented in the Lexmark family of printers. Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enable a Hewlett- Packard Company’s driver to select the forward compatibility fonts. The Lexmark PCL emulation driver uses the backward compatibility mode and temporarily switches the printer to this mode.

Page 90: Raster Image Graphics
2-78 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 91 2-79 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 92 2-80 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 93 2-81 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 94 2-82 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 95 2-83 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 96 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 97: Macros
2-85 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 98: 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 99: Kernel Commands
Notes: • Parameters enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) are optional and not required for command execution. • The PJL interpreter requires uppercase for the prefix for all PJL com- @PJL mands except the Universal Exit Language (UEL) command. The rest of the PJL command is not case sensitive.

Page 101: 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 message Waiting appears on the printer operator panel display or through MarkVision Professional until...
Page 102 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 must be job name enclosed in double quotes, as indicated by the command syntax.
Page 103: Eoj Command
For detailed information on PJL password protection, see “File and Device Protection Commands” on page 3-93. Note: Setting a default PJL password disables the use of PJL DEFAULT and INITIALIZE commands. (See “DEFAULT Command” on page 3-8 and “INITIALIZE Command” on page 3-11.) EOJ Command The EOJ command signifies the end of a print job.

Page 290: Switching Languages
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 291: Setting Smartswitch For Different Interfaces
Languages 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 292: Sniffing
Languages 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.

Memory Example of Directory The Directory that prints appears similar to the one below. An explanation of the parts of the Directory follows the example. Optional Font Memory Size 1048576 bytes Part Name: FLASH Part Number: (none) Write password protected Type Size Prot.
Page 297 Memory 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 Password Protected Indicates the entire flash memory or disk is write-protected.
Page 298 Memory 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 299: Password Protection
Memory 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 300: Rewriting The Flash Content
Memory By using passwords, administrators can ensure data integrity and proper authorization. If flash memory is write password protected, for example, users cannot delete existing files, format the device, or download new files to the device (without first specifying the password). A specific example might be a macro file of an authorizing signature that is stored on flash memory with a Read/Write password.
Page 301: Accessing Files With Postscript Emulation
Memory 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 302 6-10 Memory 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 The name with the is a unique identifier. %flash% %flash1%.
Page 303 6-11 Memory 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 304: Device Search Order
6-12 Memory 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 305: Performance
6-13 Memory 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 307: Disabling Job Buffering
6-15 Memory 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.
