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 application. 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 Application
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 62: 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 63: 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 64 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.

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 92 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 93 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 94 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 95 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 96 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 97 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 98: 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 99: Printer Job Language
PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix B: PJL Support. PJL Command Notation The syntax for each supported PJL command is listed in this chapter. The following character codes are used throughout the chapter to illustrate the syntax of each PJL command.
Page 100: 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 101: 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 102: 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 103 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 104: Eoj Command
EOJ Command The EOJ command signifies the end of a print job. Syntax: Note: Only use the EOJ command in conjunction with the JOB command. Parameter: 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.
Page 105: 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 106 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.

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 307: Status And Error Messages
To send information to the computer through the parallel interface, configure the interface as bidirectional. Tagged Binary Not Active Your printer responds and processes a Ctrl-T (x'14') command as a status query when: • The PostScript emulation interpreter is processing a print job.
Page 308: Tagged Binary Active
Status queries cannot be received while the printer is in an error state. 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.

The rest of the current print job is discarded because of a previous error or other ending, such as a stop or Ctrl-C. The printer ignores further input until it determines the end of the print job. The PostScript emulation program has exited successfully from the server normal save or restore context;...
Page 311: 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 application 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 312: 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.

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 322: 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 323 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 324 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 325: 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...

Page 327: 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 328: Disabling Job Buffering
Disabling Job Buffering Note: Creating a job buffering partition is only required for the Lexmark C720 and J110 printer models. 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.

Page 377 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 378 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 379 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 380 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 381 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.
