Page 13: 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.

Page 49: Command Structure
PCL commands are multibyte strings (also known as “escape sequences”) that begin with the Escape control code ( 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 50: 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.
Page 51 Example: (s16.66H • Decimal: • Hex: Use the plus symbol (+) or the minus symbol (–) to select a position relative to the current cursor position. For example: &a6C &a+6C &a-6C Linking Commands You can combine PCL emulation commands by linking them if the first 3 bytes of the commands are identical.
Page 52: Pcl Emulation Commands
PCL Emulation Commands See the following tables for a listing of the commands grouped by function. To determine which commands your printer supports, see “Table A-1: PCL Emulation Commands” on page A-1. PCL Emulation Commands by Function Table 2-18: Job Control Command / Parameters &d#A...

These parameters are in effect until you overwrite them with a different command or there is a printer reset. To ensure that the printed image appears in the expected area, set width and height parameters.
Page 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 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 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 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 83 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 84 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 85: 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 86: 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 87: Kernel Commands
PJL. Syntax: 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 88: Comment Command
ENTER LANGUAGE Command This command causes the printer to enter the specified language, such as PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, or PPDS. Syntax: Notes: • • You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. ( all others can be mixed or lowercase.) Example: enters PostScript emulation.
Page 89: 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 90 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. 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 91: 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 92: Environment Commands And Variables
Environment Commands and Variables This section describes the printer environment variables and the PJL commands used to modify or query the variables. Note: The word common applies to those variables common to both your printer and the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers.
Page 93: Default Command
DEFAULT Command This command modifies the default setting for the specified environment variable and stores the setting in the printer NVRAM. The new setting is activated with the occurrence of the next PJL reset condition. Syntax: to be modified. The variables supported are listed in the tables beginning on page 3-12.
Page 94: Set Command
PJL reset condition. Use the SET command to modify any currently defined environment variable that cannot be set using the desired printer language. For example, use the PJL SET command to set Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) or Page Protect, which cannot be set within a printer language such as PCL emulation.
Page 95 • " variables. (See “Table 3-9: Printer Unique LRESOURCE Variables” on page 3-53.) Values for " A unique identifier for a file, such as the macro ID for a PCL macro, the symbol set ID for a PCL symbol set, the font ID for a PCL font, and so on.
Page 96: Initialize Command
INITIALIZE Command This command restores both the current and default environment variables to their factory default values and updates the printer NVRAM. This command affects all of the variables listed in “Table 3-3: Common Variables for Both Printer Languages” on page 3-12 through “Table 3-8: Printer Unique Variables for PostScript Emulation”...
Page 97: Common Variables For Both Printer Languages
Common Variables for Both Printer Languages Note: The word common applies to those variables common to both your printer and the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers. The following common variables are supported for both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation, unless otherwise noted. Therefore, the [ parameter should not be specified.
Page 98 ON, OFF The value of the NVRAM serial number field is returned. The NVRAM serial number field is set to the printer serial number.

Syntax: Use the following steps to retrieve lost passwords: Send the LQUERYSEED command to the printer by one of the host computer interfaces. This command causes a value, the “seed,” to display on the printer operator panel, through MarkVision Professional or, if there isn’t an LCD panel, to print on the Menu Settings Page.
Page 184: Postscript Emulation
Selecting PostScript Emulation Using SmartSwitch When SmartSwitch is enabled for both printer languages on an interface, 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 and all interfaces.
Page 185: Using Your Software Program
To select PostScript emulation, use the ENTER LANGUAGE command, which is a Printer Job Language (PJL) command. See “ENTER LANGUAGE Command” on page 3-3. See “Printer Job Language” on page 3-1 for syntax and use of PJL. Warning: When you change printer languages, you may lose all previously downloaded fonts and macros, unless resources are stored in flash memory or on disk.

Page 189: Postscript Emulation Fonts For The Lexmark C752
PostScript Emulation Fonts for the Lexmark C752 The Lexmark C752 printer has 158 resident fonts in PostScript emulation. The fonts match the 136 Adobe PostScript 3 resident fonts and include 22 extra fonts. Since the fonts are designed to match Adobe PostScript 3, this is called forward compatibility mode.
Page 190 GillSans-Italic GillSans-Bold GillSans-BoldItalic PostScript emulation also has a backward compatibility mode that changes the metrics of 8 of the resident fonts to match the fonts in the Lexmark Optra S family of printers. The 8 fonts are: AntiqueOlive AntiqueOlive-Italic AntiqueOlive-Bold...
Page 191 Your printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode and the Lexmark PostScript driver uses this mode. For backward compatibility with the Lexmark Optra S family of printers, use the latest version of the Lexmark Optra S driver which sends the PostScript command to switch to backward compatibility mode.

• The printer is idle and the PostScript emulation interpreter is the selected interpreter. Your printer responds and processes a Ctrl-T (x'14') command as normal data and not a status query when: • Another interpreter is processing a print job.
Page 285: 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 287: 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.
Page 288: Setting Smartswitch For Different Interfaces
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...

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. The printer examines the active printer language and decides when an End-of-Job point occurs.

• PCL emulation collects and stores the currently defined font, macro, or symbol set information in printer RAM memory. These resources are written to flash memory or disk when Resource Data Collection is disabled (see step 3). Stored resources are also copied to flash memory or disk when a printer language switch occurs.

0), it cannot be changed back to binary 1 without a complete flash memory format. As PostScript emulation file operators write data to flash memory, the printer microcode software verifies that none of the bits being set to binary 1 is binary 0. If any attempt is made to change a 0 bit back to 1, a PostScript emulation ioerror occurs.
Page 298: Accessing Files With Postscript Emulation
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 299 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.
Page 300 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 301: Device Search Order
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...

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 304: 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 315: Deciding Which Interface To Use
One or more of the following is built into your printer: standard parallel connector, USB connector, or network connector. To use a port, connect a cable from the printer to the computer, then set the appropriate values from the printer operator panel or, for network connected printers only, through MarkVision Professional.
Page 316: Parallel Interface
Parallel Interface Use the Lexmark 3.04 m (10 ft) parallel cable part number 1329605, Lexmark 6.1 m (20 ft) parallel cable part number 1427498, or a cable that is IEEE 1284 compliant, to connect your printer to a personal computer or to a host system with a Centronics- compatible parallel port.
Page 317: Standard Parallel Connector
Standard Parallel Connector The standard IEEE 1284-B compliant parallel connector on the printer is a 36-pin D-shell female receptacle, as shown. Optional Parallel Connector The optional IEEE 1284-C compliant parallel connector on the RS-232C Serial/Parallel 1284-C Interface Card or Parallel 1284-B Interface Card is a 36-pin D-shell female receptacle, as shown.
Page 318 To prevent line noise, the cables should be shielded and connected to the chassis of both the computer and the printer. The parallel cable length should not exceed 3.04 m (10 ft), unless a Lexmark 6.1 m (20 ft) parallel cable is used.
Page 319 The rising edge of a negative pulse on this line causes the printer to initialize. The printer synchronizes this function with the received data.

Use RS-232C serial interface if the printer is more than 3.04 m (10 ft) from the computer but less than 15.24 m (50 ft) away. (You can also use a 6.1 m (20 ft) Lexmark cable to connect a printer and a computer located up to 20 feet apart.) Use RS-422 if your computer is more than 15.24 m (50 ft) away from the printer.
Page 334: Using The Rs-232C Serial Interface
This section describes how to use the RS-232C serial interface. If you are using RS-422, see “Using the RS-422 Serial Interface” on page 8-35.

Page 336 IBM designed 9-pin serial port, use a 9-pin to 25-pin cable, such as IBM Part Number 6450242 (254 mm or 10 in.). Null modem cables, such as Lexmark part number 1038693 [15.24 m (50 ft)], will connect the converter cable to the printer. The illustration below represents the 25-pin connectors for the RS-232C cable (1038693).
Page 337 10-bit, 11-bit, and 12-bit data frames and set the serial data transfer parameter so that each data frame contains 7 or 8 data bits. However, your printer is an 8-bit printer; characters, controls, and all points addressable (APA) graphics need 8 bits of data.
Page 338 Start and Stop Bits The printer receives data with 1 start bit and either 1 or 2 stop bits. The printer always sends 1 start and 2 stop bits. Parity There are four possible parity settings: Odd, Even, None, and Ignore.
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 340 Table 8-6 shows the state of each serial interface signal in the three data flow control protocols when the Honor DSR setting is Off. Table 8-6: Serial Link (All Protocols) with Honor DSR Off Printer Signal DTR (Output) DSR (Input) CTS (Input) These values are compatible with Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers.
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.
Page 343 Serial Errors The printer places an underscore character in the link buffer when it detects an error. Some printers also display serial errors on the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional as attendance messages, such as a 54 Serial Option x Error do not generate such an error message are: •...
