Preface Thank you for purchasing the DocuPrint C3055/C3055 DX. This guide provides information about the ESC/P emulation of the printer. To get the most out of this printer and to use it effectively, please read this guide as necessary. This guide assumes you are familiar with the basic operation of the printer and your operating environment.

CD-ROM Documentation Describes how to set up the printer’s operating environment and to (HTML) install a print driver and various Fuji Xerox software. • This guide is on the CD-ROM of the Driver CD Kit. Emulation Setting Guide Contains information about the ESC/P and PCL emulation modes.
Using This Guide Organization This guide is organized into the following chapters. The summary of each chapter is as follows: Using Emulation Describes the fonts and interfaces supported and the printer emulated in the ESC/P emulation mode. Setting the ESC/P Mode Describes how to configure the ESC/P emulation mode.
Using Emulation About Emulation This chapter explains the ESC/P emulation of the printer. Print data is data written based on certain rules (grammars). These rules (grammars) are called "print languages". The printer supports two types of print languages: page description language and emulation.
Switching Print Languages The printer supports multiple emulation modes and can switch between multiple print languages. There are three methods of switching print languages. Switching Languages by Commands If the printer receives a command that explicitly tells which language to use, the printer switches to that language.
About Fonts This section explains the fonts that can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode. Supported Fonts The following outline fonts can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode. Note • The supported fonts and their print samples can be viewed on the [Font List]. For information about the [Font List], refer to “2.3 ESC/P Mode Reports/Lists”...
Paper Eject Function This section explains the paper eject function of the printer. Forcibly Ejecting the Remaining Data In the ESC/P emulation mode, the printer does not eject a job unless it receives a full page worth of data. When the host interface is Parallel or USB, and if only a portion of a page is received, the printer does not eject the page.
Print Features in the ESC/P Mode The following print features can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode. Multiple Up (ESC/P) Multiple Up is a feature that prints multiple pages onto one sheet of paper. In the ESC/P emulation mode, you can perform 2-up printing. Form Overlay Form Overlay is a feature that allows you to store forms in the printer and merge them with print data when printing.
Setting the ESC/P Mode Control Panel Menus There are two types of control panel menus: the mode menus and common menus. The mode menus are the menus that relate to the emulation modes. The common menus are the menus for all the other features of the printer. Note •...
Delete Form To display this item, select [Admin Menu] > [Init/Del Data] > [Delete Form]. This item allows you to delete ESC/P forms registered in the printer. If there is no form registered in the printer, [Not registered] appears instead of [Delete Form]. •...
Setting the ESC/P Mode Menu This section explains the items in the ESC/P mode menu and how to configure them. ESC/P Mode Menu Items The items that can be set in the ESC/P mode menu are as follows: Features Menu Paper Tray Sets the paper tray to be used when printing.
Whole Output Size Automatically calculates the zoom ratio based on [Document Size] and [Output Size] and prints the document so that the physical size of [Document Size] fits into the printable area of [Output Size]. Note • When continuous-form paper is selected for [Document Size], [Fixed %] and [Whole Output Size] derive the same print result.
Alphanumeric Sets the font for single-byte characters (ANK) to [Roman] (default) or [Sans Serif]. Note • This setting is not affected by extension commands sent from users. Refer to • "1.2 About Fonts" (P. 9) Page Position Sets the paper position by enabling or disabling the cut sheet feeder setting. The following options are available: [CSF Off] (default) Disables the cut sheet feeder setting.
Page 18
[Off] Does not skip blank pages. Note • Pages that only contain white images or spaces entered with external characters will be printed as blank pages even when this is set to [On]. • When [On] is selected, and if [2 Sided Print] or [2 Pages Up] is enabled, blank pages will be skipped during printing.
Page 19
[Off] (default) Prints single-byte characters without reducing their sizes. [On] Prints single-byte characters in reduced sizes. Char. Code Table If the Chinese font kit is installed, select the type of character code table for single-byte characters. The options are [Graphics] (default) and [Slant]. Page Length Sets the length of one page (printable area) to [11 Inches] (default) or [12 Inches].
Page 20
Extension Sets the extension (first 2 bytes) of an extended command if you want to enable printing by text codes. The codes between 0x21 and 0x7d are valid. The default is [&%]. Note • An extended command is prefixed with an extender followed by command identification data and parameter data (if necessary).
Settings the ESC/P Mode Menu The following example shows how to set the document size of the ESC/P mode to [A3 Portrait]. Ready to print Press the <Menu> button. Menu Print Language Press the < > button. Print Language ESC/P Press the <...
ESC/P Mode Reports/Lists This section explains the reports/lists that relate to the ESC/P emulation mode. Note • For information about other reports/lists that can be printed from the printer, refer to the ‘User Guide’. Printer Settings Lists the settings configured on the control panel, including the ESC/P settings. To print this report/list, select [Report/List] >...
