  • Page 13: Chapter 2: Pcl Emulation

    When SmartSwitch is enabled for both printer languages on an interface (for example, Parallel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automatically switches to the printer language being sent by your software program. The printer is shipped with SmartSwitch enabled for both printer languages in all interfaces. The printer examines all print jobs and switches dynamically between PostScript emulation and PCL emulation.

  • Page 14: 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 are stored in flash memory or on disk.

  • Page 61: Control Codes

    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: Command Parameters

    A command parameter sets the value for a command. This value stays constant until either a different value resets the command or a command resets the printer to the default values. For example, after the printer receives a command that selects a right margin beginning at column 63, the right margin of each printed page begins at column 63.

    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 Since Group 4 images do not use line endings, the width of the image must be specified using the Raster Width command ( The compressed image data is sent to the printer using the Transfer Raster Data command ( Transfer Raster Data command is 32K bytes. Images larger than 32K bytes must be broken up and sent using multiple commands.
  • 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

    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: 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. PJL Command Notation The syntax for each supported PJL command is listed in this chapter.

  • Page 99: Kernel Commands

    Syntax: <ESC>%-12345X Notes: • If the printer receives this command while in PCL emulation, it performs a Printer Language Reset ( • If the printer receives this command while in PostScript emulation, it performs an End-of-Job (EOJ) command before exiting PostScript emulation (Ctrl-D).

  • Page 100: Comment Command

    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.)

  • Page 101: Job Separation Commands

    The host computer can use the JOB command to separate print data into various parts or jobs. Specifically, the JOB command signifies to the printer the start of a print job. Use the EOJ command to signify the end of a job. In addition, use the JOB/EOJ pair to accomplish the following: •...
  • Page 102 1 of the print job and its range is from 1 to 2,147,483,647. Omission of the END parameter causes the printer to print all pages to the end of the job. PASSWORD = number A system administrator can control which jobs, and therefore which users, are allowed to modify the printer default or NVRAM variables by declaring a PJL password.

  • 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.

    The printer is idle and another interpreter is the selected interpreter. Notes: • Status queries cannot be received while the printer is in an error state. • Your printer always selects the PostScript emulation interpreter and pro- cesses a Ctrl+T (x'14') command as a status query when data is received through the LocalTalk interface.

  • Page 289: 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 290: Chapter 5: Switching Languages

    Consequently, the printer examines all print jobs coming into all its interfaces and switches between PostScript emulation and PCL emulation dynamically. If a software program explicitly tells the printer which language to use by a PJL command, the printer always accepts and uses that explicit command, regardless of how SmartSwitch has been set from the printer operator panel.

    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.

    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.

    Although job buffering is designed for individual workstations and networks using MarkVision Professional as the primary tool to control printer operations, you can handle some job buffering functions from the printer operator panel. See your printer documentation for more details.

  • Page 306: 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 307: Disabling Job Buffering

    Finally, delete or resize the job buffer partition. Recovering from a Power Loss If the printer loses power, the job being spooled to the disk may be lost. Jobs already stored on the disk remain intact. When power is restored, you are asked if you want to print the jobs held in the buffer.

  • Page 339 XON/XOFF/DTR • XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR Your printer supports two modes in which both hardware and software data flow control protocols are performed. In XON/XOFF/DTR mode, the printer uses both XON/XOFF and DTR pacing. When XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR mode is active, the printer uses both XON/XOFF and DTR/DSR pacing.

  • Page 341 Only DTR/DSR is used for flow control from the printer to the host computer. DTR drops to tell the computer that the receive buffer is nearly full or that the printer is busy and that data transmission should stop. About 640 free bytes remain in the buffer at this time.
  • Page 342 Honor DSR.) After you power on the printer and DTR is active, the printer sends an XON signal to the computer (DC1 control or X'11'). However, the computer does not need to detect this initial XON before sending data to the printer, because the printer can be powered on before the computer or terminal.
