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. 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 71: 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 72: 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 73 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 74: 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 2-29: 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 101 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 102 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 103 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 104 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 105 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 106 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 107: 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 108: 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 109: 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 110: 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 111: 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 112 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 113: 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 114: 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 115: 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 116: 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.

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”...

The following common variables are supported for both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation, unless otherwise noted. Therefore, the [ parameter should not be specified.
Page 120 ON, OFF The value of the NVRAM serial number field is returned. The NVRAM serial number field is set to the printer serial number. In order to guarantee that a unique identifier exists in this field, the printer writes a random alphanumeric string into this field whenever the critical byte area in NVRAM is re-initialized.

• 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 312: 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 314: 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 315: 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 325: 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 326 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 327 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 328: 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...

• The printer accepts print jobs more quickly. • The printer accepts print jobs from all ports as long as the disk is not filled. • The printer continues to print even after the host computer, network connection, or printer server goes down.
Page 331: 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.
