Printer Control Language (PCL) page formatting For more information on PCL, refer to the Printer Languages and Interfaces Technical Reference. It contains a complete listing with descriptions of PCL commands. To determine which PCL commands your printer supports, see “Appendix A: PCL support” on page 22.
For the Universal paper size, the area dimensions are listed in pel ranges. Paper ID 99 will be supported for backward compatibility with other Lexmark printers. Paper ID 99 has the same logical paper size as ID 100 (compatible with HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx) but is 8 pels wider than the Lexmark 4039.

Printer Job Language (PJL) PJL commands information Your printer supports complete PJL commands, including certain commands that cause the printer to enter PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). For a complete listing with descriptions of PJL commands, see the Printer Languages and Interfaces Technical Reference.
PostScript (PS) emulation Your printer supports complete PostScript emulation supplemental operators. For full descriptions in detail for these operators, refer to the PostScript emulation chapter in the Printer Languages and Interfaces Technical Reference. To determine which commands your printer supports, see “Appendix C: PostScript support” on page 79.
The printer checks the paper size loaded in the current active source to determine if it matches the requested size. If the sizes match, the paper is fed from the active source. Note: The current active tray is the last source that was selected from the printer control panel or by the printer language.
If the size is still not available, a configurationerror is issued and the print job is flushed. If manualfeed or ManualFeed is true, the printer prompts you to load the requested size manually. If no manual feed exists on the printer, a rangecheck error message is generated...

The envelope tray the printer selects when it receives an envelopetray operator is listed in “Envelopetray operator selections” on page 16. These operators are equivalent to executing the following PostScript emulation sequence: <</PageSize [x y] /ImagingBBox null /Policies<</PageSize 0>> >>...
Printer specifications This chapter lists printer specifications and information about hardware, environmental conditions, and power requirements. Airflow requirement The room should meet ASHRAE 62—1989 standards. Noise emission levels The following measurements were made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296.
