Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Introduction The PRESCRIBE emulation option for Lexmark laser printers is an extended version of the firmware that includes a PRESCRIBE language processor. It enables the printer to be an effective replacement for Kyocera printers in select large accounts where the PRESCRIBE printer language is used. -
Page 4: Flash Memory And Hard Disk Support
Introduction Flash memory and hard disk support PRESCRIBE downloaded fonts (LDFC) and PRESCRIBE macros can be stored on either the flash memory or the printer hard disk. Programming is done using the Resource Save setting. Note: The ICCD and WRED commands are not supported. Memorex printer compatibility mode The PRESCRIBE emulation option includes a custom extension to support an alternate font number table which is compatible with Memorex system printers. -

The even‑numbered parameters (A2, A4, A6, and A8) specify a fraction in 100ths of an inch. Page Length and Page Width settings that are larger than the default margin limits are ignored.
- Page 15 • The unprintable areas (no-print regions) for most Lexmark laser printers are 1/6 inch (or 50/ 300 pels) from the respective edges of the paper (except for A4, which has 40‑pel left and right areas). Even though edge limits are outside of these unprintable areas the no-print regions are fixed and clipping may occur.

- Page 17 PRESCRIBE commands LA: Character centering This setting emulates certain Kyocera machines that center characters within the spacing. The factory default value is 1 (centering enabled). To disable character-centering use: !R! FRPO LA,0; RES; EXIT; If the placement of text appears to be wrong, then try changing this switch. LB: Memorex font group This setting allows the Memorex font group to be set.
