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 21: Forward And Backward Compatibility Modes For The Lexmark C760 And
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark C760 and C762 Your PCL emulation has forward and backward compatibility modes. The forward compatibility mode is used to emulate the fonts in the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050. The backward compatibility mode is used for compatibility with the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.

Page 24 This font is not implemented in the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050. This font is not implemented in the Lexmark family of printers. Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enable a Hewlett-Packard Company’s driver to select the forward compatibility fonts. The Lexmark PCL driver uses the backward compatibility mode and temporarily switches the printer to this mode.
Page 25: Specialty Pcl Fonts
Specialty PCL Fonts The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward compatibility mode for each of the five specialty PCL fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and backward compatibility modes are identical, they are listed together in the table.

Page 43: 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 44: 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 45 Example: (s16.66H • Decimal: • 1B 28 73 31 36 2E 36 36 48 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 46: 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 2-11: 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 73 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 74 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 75 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 76 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 77 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 78 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 79: 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 80: 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 81: Kernel Commands
Syntax: <ESC>%-12345X 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 82 ENTER LANGUAGE Command This command causes the printer to enter the specified language, such as PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, or PPDS. Syntax: @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = language[<CR>]<LF> Notes: • language PCL3, PCLXL • You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. ( all others can be mixed or lowercase.)
Page 83: 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 84 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. PASSWORD = number 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 85 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 86: 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 87 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: @PJL DEFAULT [command modifier:value] variable=value[<CR>]<LF>...
Page 88 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.

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 92 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.

Page 269: Status And Error Messages
• 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 270: 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 271: 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 272: 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.

Page 276: Storing Resources On Flash Memory Or Disk
• 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 282: 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 283 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 284 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 285: 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 286: Performance
Although job buffering is designed for individual workstations and networks using MarkVision Professional as the primary tool to control printer operations, you can handle some job buffering functions from the printer operator panel. See your printer documentation for more details.
Page 287: 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 288: 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.

Note: For best results, use the Lexmark 1.83 m (6 ft) parallel cable, part number 11K4078. The following illustration shows the pin assignments for connecting the 25-pin connector to the 36-pin connector.

Page 304 Fastbytes protocol is the printer default. If you have data transmission problems between your personal computer and the printer, change the parallel protocol to Standard. This causes the printer to operate in IEEE-compliant compatibility mode.
Page 305: Printer-To-Computer Communication (Advanced Status)
The optional RS-232C Serial/Parallel 1284-C Interface Card has an IEEE 1284-C compliant connector and is an IEEE 1284-I compliant device. Your printer could be considered an IEEE 1284-II compliant device if the “C” to “B” style connector converter were used. The printer exceeds the maximum allowable circuit capacitance for Level II interfaces.
Page 306: Parallel Mode 1
You can get IEEE 1284 documentation by calling 1-800-678-IEEE (order number DS02709). Parallel Mode 1 Parallel Mode 1 is a feature available for many Lexmark printers. The factory default setting is for the factory default for your printer. If the host side of the parallel interface is using open collector drivers to transmit data...

Page 310: Using The Rs-232C Serial Interface
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.)
Page 311 How to Connect the RS-232C Serial Interface Use Lexmark serial cable P/N 1038693 (15.24 m or 50 ft) to connect the serial interface. RS-232C Serial Cable Pin Assignments The RS-232C serial cable appears as follows: Table 8-3: Dedicated Serial Connector Pin Assignments (RS-232C)
Page 312 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 313 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 314 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 315 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 316 Table 8-5 shows the state of each serial interface signal in the three data flow control protocols when the Honor DSR setting is Off. Table 8-5: 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 317 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 318 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 319 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: •...
Page 320: Network Support
• Detect detachment of serial devices. Network Support Installing an internal print server enables you to connect your printer to a local area network (LAN). The print server supports these network interfaces: • The Token-Ring print server conforms to IEEE 802.5 using either IBM Cabling System (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair cable, which meets the IBM Cabling System Type 3 Media Specification (UTP).

Page 322 Note: MB represents 1,048,576 bytes. K represents 1024 bytes. N/A means non-applicable. Note: When using serial communication, the printer signals the host computer to stop transmitting bytes when the serial input buffer is within 640 bytes. In addition, when XON/XOFF protocol is used, the printer signals the host computer to stop transmitting when the serial input buffer is 384, 256, and 128 bytes from full.
