    Document Option Commands designed to access stapler features would not work on a printer that does not have a stapler. The purpose of this manual is to provide an overall context for Document Option Commands used with any printer. Refer to your printer documentation for a list of Document Option Commands supported and new Document Option Commands designed to use the particular features of your printer.

    ESP technology selects the appropriate printer language from those installed on the printer and processes the print job, freeing the user from the need to change printer switch settings or send software commands to accommodate different printer emulations.

    Introduction Header and trailer pages are separator pages that identify each print job and help users sort out print jobs in the printers output bin. A “header” page prints before the first page of a print job. A “trailer” page prints after the last page of a print job. Use the Document Option Commands in this chapter to turn header/trailer pages on or off and to customize the information displayed on them.

The command will also determine the location of the staple if the printer supports this capability. See your printer documentation for more information on stapling.

  • Page 64 Using the File Transfer Protocol Use the following procedure to download a background to your printer. FTP works only when the printer is on line and the message window displays IDLE. Access the file transfer protocol program. Type ftp printer-name (where printer-name is either the IP address of the printer or its corresponding host name).
  • Page 65 The second filename is required in order to store the file on the printer’s hard disk. Without it, the printer would try to print the file. The background must be saved using a filename.ext (8.3 characters) Repeat the put command for each background being downloaded.
  • Page 66 Downloading Through the Floppy Disk If your printer has a floppy disk drive downloading the background is very simple. Copy the background file to a 1.44MB DOS formatted floppy to a subdirectory named \USR\.

  • Page 72: Sessions

    (PDL) generated by a single application. However, language-specific terminators do not work very well when you need to create a document from files using multiple printer description languages. In such cases, high-level document manipulation applications find it difficult to deal with markers without taking into account the language and semantics of the language-specific delimiters.
  • Page 73 Use the DOC %%Session command to separate jobs within the document that are not separated by PDL-specific terminators. The %%Session command allows any data acceptable to an emulation, including 8-bit data, to be transferred to the printer without terminating documents or subjobs early and out of context.

  • Page 74: Session Command

    Some host applications add DOC commands at the beginning of a document’s data stream before transmitting a job to the Crown printer. If you do not ensure that such features are completely disabled, the processing of the %%Session command will be terminated, and unexpected results may be printed.
  • Page 75 Any data which comes after this point, within the same connection, is treated as the beginning of the next subjob .
  • Page 76 Session Command Detection and Arguments At the start of a document data stream, the printer examines the initial bytes of data to see if it can match the %%Session: ... string. If the string is found, the mode and argument parameters are extracted to determine what kind of session matching is desired.

    If you choose <esp> the printer will use ESP even when the interface setting specifies a specific emulation. Printer Resolution, Quality, and Color Commands Resolution The resolution command sets the printer resolution (dot density) for the current print job.

  • Page 81: Print Quality

    This command depends on the capability of the printer to switch between different dot densities under dynamic control. It is ignored if the printer does not support multi-resolution. Print Quality This command allows you to set the intensity of your print output, choosing a normal, light, or dark mode.

    In addition to its ID, a downloaded font also has a unique index number which is automatically assigned by the printer when the font is downloaded. This index number may change if new resources are added, but in practice it usually remains fixed. All currently available PCL fonts (resident, cartridge, temporary, permanent, and external) are listed with their font index numbers on the Advanced Status Page.
