Printing Options

Custom Paper Sizes

The D640 supports custom paper sizes. Use the Media Eject Length command to specify a custom paper length and the Page Width command to specify a custom width. These dimensions are relative to

the physical paper path, so it’s possible to specify a width value larger than the length value.

The optional custom paper tray (C5634A) has infinitely adjustable guides, which can accommodate paper as small as 3.94 by 7.2 inches (100 by 182 mm) and as large as 11.7 by 17 inches (297 by

431.8 mm). You can use one to three custom trays in any of the tray positions, but all custom trays installed must contain the same paper size.

Note Paper sizes longer than 215 mm in length feed at 21 pages per minute.

Other sizes feed at 40 pages per minute. To use custom size paper in a print job, there are several steps:

At the Control Panel

Step 1 For the custom tray location, set the PapSize tray setting to

custom. Step 2 Set the units in the Printing Menu to mm, or 1/100". Step 3 Set the customsize settings in the Configuration Menu to the

width and height of the paper. The values for width and height are the width and height of the paper,

expressed in the unit values specified in the units setting. For example, the customsize values for an 8.5 by 11 sheet would be 850 and 1100.

Step 4 Set any other settings, such as traylock, in the Configuration

Menu.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 3

In Your Print Job

Step 1 Define the Media Eject Length (the size of the paper in the

custom paper tray, left to right) by sending the PCL code:

Media Eject Length (see below). Step 2 Define the paper width (the size of the paper in the custom

paper tray, front to back) by sending the PCL code: Select

Custom Size (see below).

Media Eject Length <ESC> & f # f/F

Sets the length of paper, as measured from the left edge to the right edge of the paper in the custom paper tray. Command arguments include:

Value(#) Media eject length in decipoints (1/720 inch) Default Device dependent (should be taken from User Default

Environment) Range 0 to the maximum supported paper length (command is

ignored for other values and the current paper length is retained) Use this command to define the size of your paper when using the

custom paper tray, with the selection of <ESC>&l101A. The media eject length need not be the same as the physical page

size defined by Page Size (<ESC>&l#A) or Page Length (<ESC>&l#P). If the media eject length is shorter than the physical page size, the physical page image will be clipped to fit the media eject size. If the media eject length is longer than the physical page size, the excess length will appear after the page image (to the bottom and right of the page image so the page image is placed at the upper left edge).

Page Width <ESC> & f # g/G

Designates the width of the logical page for a given CMI. Command arguments include:

Value(#) Logical page width in decipoints (1/720 inch) Default Device dependent Range 0 to the maximum supported page width. For other values,

the command is ignored and the current paper length is retained. If a value of 0 is received, page width is set using the following criteria (in order of priority):

4 Chapter 2: Printing Options

• Control Panel setti ng (if applicable)

• The physical page width (if it can be sensed)

• 8.5 inches portrait, 11 inches landscape orientation.

The page width remains in effect until a new Page Width command is received or the printer is restarted.

Note Use this command in conjunction with the Media Eject Length

command (<ESC>&f#F) to fully define a variable logical page size. Both the Media Eject Length and Page Width commands should be transmitted at the beginning of a page prior to any printable data. Otherwise, when the command is sent, the current page is closed and printed.

Select Custom Paper <ESC> & l 101A

Sets margins according to the physical size of the paper defined with the Media Eject Length and Page Width commands.

Paper Output Trays

The D640 printer currently has two output locations: the upper tray (standard) or the optional high capacity output stacker (HCO).

There are several differences between the upper tray and the output stacker. The upper tray holds up to 400 sheets, stacking them facedown only. There is no offset stacking. The HCO holds up to 3000 sheets, stacked face up or face down, and it supports offset stacking. Both output locations can use the job separation feature of the printer.

The default output is the top tray. You can specify that the jobs are separated by a special sheet of paper, usually of a different color or size. This feature allows effective job separation in the top tray.

Use the jobseparate setting from the Printing Menu. Alternatively, you can give the PJL command:

@ PJL DEFAULT SEPARATOR=TRAY3 (or tray2 or tray1 or HCI or OFF)

PCL and PJL Output Commands

See Table 6 on page 17 and Table 7 on page 17 for the PCL and PJL command definitions to select the output location and stacking direction.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 5

Example Paper Handling Configurations

When you are using the MPE/iX network spooler, built into MPE/iX version 5.5 and above, printing defaults to these options:

Landscape orientation

Banner page printed from tray1 (top tray)

File printed from tray2 (middle tray)

132 characters per line

60 lines per page

This table gives some examples of printer configurations for specific results and describes the Control Panel and npconfig.pub.sys settings to obtain them.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 7

Edge to Edge Printing

Typically, the D640 printer enforces a 1/6" unprintable area around the edge of any page. This is the factory default and produces the

best looking output. There may be some cases where you don’t want this border. The D640 supports edge-to-edge printing which allows you to extend printing to the edge of the physical page.

Note The print quality is not consistent within 1/6" of any edge. This is

especially true for the trailing edge of the second side in duplex printing. For this reason, Hewlett-Packard cannot guarantee print quality within this 1/6" area. Your Hewlett-Packard warranty and service contract does not cover service calls related to printing within this 1/6" area.

The quality and squareness of the paper determine print quality when printing close to the physical paper edge. In general, you may experience degraded print quality within 0.25 inches of any paper edge. When printing in duplex you may need to compensate for shrinkage and curl that may occur when the first side is printed. Lighter weight and recycled papers tend to shrink more than heavier weight paper.

For edge-to-edge printing, first turn off the clip setting in the Configuration Menu or send the appropriate PJL command. Then, set the logical page size to the physical page size using PCL commands. (See example below.)

@PJL SET CLIP=OFF<EOL> ;allow printing near edges <ESC>%-12345X <ESC>%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL<EOL> <ESC>E <ESC>&l6A ;select ledger size <ESC>&a10W ;define page to be edge-to-edge 0x00 0x00 ;left offset is 0 0x00 0x00 ;top offset is 0 0x01 0x00 ;orientation is landscape 0x2F 0xD0 ;width is 0x2FD0 decipoints 0x1E 0xF0 ;height is 0x1EF0 decipoints <ESC>&l0E ;set top margin to 0 <ESC>&a0L ;set left margin to 0

8 Chapter 2: Printing Options

If you define text to start printing at location 0,0 it will print off of the logical page. This may or may not be on the physical page. Figure 1 describes the physical and logical page formats.

The following escape sequence allows you to define the logical page:

<ESC> & a # W[binary data]

Where # is the number of bytes of binary data following the terminator.

The default value for # is = NA. The range for # is = 4,10. The binary data describes the logical page format as shown below:

Table 2 Logical Page Format

Byte 15 (MSB) 8 7 0 (LSB) Byte

0 Left Offset 1 2 Top Offset 3 4 Orientation Reserved (0) 5 6Width7 8 Height 9

Left Offset Specifies (in integer decipoints) the location of the left edge of the logical page with respect to the left side of the physical page in the selected viewing orientation. The range of values is

-32767 to 32767. Top Offset Specifies (in integer decipoints) the location of the top

edge of the logical page with respect to the top edge of the physical page in the selected viewing orientation. The range of values is

-32767 to 32767. Orientation This is the viewing orientation of the logical page with

respect to the physical page. Values may be 0 (portrait), 1 (landscape), 2 (reverse portrait), or 3 (reverse landscape). All other values reset the logical page definition leaving the logical page as it was previously defined.

Reserved Byte A byte which must be present in the data stream and must be equal to zero.

Width Logical page width is defined in decipoints. A zero width causes the logical page definition to be ignored. The logical page may be larger than the physical page. The range of values is 1 to 65535.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 9

Height Logical page height is defined in decipoints. A zero height causes the logical page definition to be ignored. The logical page may be larger than the physical page. The range of values is 1 to 65535.

Either 4 or 10 bytes of binary data defining values in the specified range must be downloaded with this command. If more than 10 bytes are received, the excess number is disregarded. If the number of bytes received is less than 10 and greater than 4, the left and top offsets are changed and the remaining bytes are ignored.

Upon receipt of a valid, 4-byte command, the current logical page definition is updated with the new left and top offsets. The margins, print direction, and current active position (CAP) are retained relative to the new position of the logical page. (The only change to the current logical page is that now it is offset relative to the physical page.)

Upon receipt of a valid command with 10 or more bytes of binary data, the current logical page definition is discarded and the new definition is installed. The following actions take place with a new definition:

The macro overlay is disabled.

Any current raster graphics are closed.

The primary and secondary fonts are set for the selected

orientation. Print direction is set to zero and the orientation is set

appropriately. HMI, VMI, margins, and text length are set to their PCL defaults.

CAP is moved to (0,0).

CAP becomes floating.

The reference point used for tiling defaults to the upper-left corner of the current logical page. The tiles are printed based on the viewing orientation selected.

The picture frame is defaulted to the logical page bounds and the

anchor point is set to the upper left corner of the logical page. Any extra bytes specified with the command are disregarded.

The positions stored in the CAP stack are not changed with an

orientation change. Therefore, the positions are relative to the top left corner of the current orientation.

10 Chapter 2: Printing Options

The new logical page definition remains in effect until another

logical page is defined, or the logical page is defaulted by receipt of a reset, an orientation change, a page length, or a paper size command. The current logical page definition (PCL default or user defined) is part of the user and overlay environments. A graphic mark will appear on the page if and only if it falls within the printable area and the logical page boundaries. For HP-GL/2 mode, graphics must also be within the defined picture frame and user defined window.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 11

Working with Multiple Copies

You can print multiple copies of a document using the following methods:

setting the printer’s control panel

(Copies, Mopies, and Auto-collate) using commands in a print job

For more information on setting the printer’s control panel to create multiple copies, see the

User Manual

To specify multiple copies in a print job, use the following commands:

Table 3 Commands for Multiple Copies

PJL SET COPIES = n Where n is the number of copies specified for each page of a

document. Copies are created on a page -by-pag e basis . Each pa ge is printed n times. See illustration below.

PJL SET QTY = m Where m is the number of collated copies (mopies) spec ified for the

document. Copies are created on a document-by-document basis. A completed document is printed m times. See illustration below.

Multiple-page document

PJL SET COPIES = 2

PJL SET QTY = 2

12 Chapter 2: Printing Options

If you combine the PJL SET COPIES and PJL SET QTY commands in the same print job (and the auto-collate setting on front of the printer is off), the result is multiplicative. See illustration below.

PJL SET COPIES = 2 PJL SET QTY = 3

3 sets of documents are created. Each set has 2 copies of each page.

This combination of copies and mopies is useful if you’re simulating a multi-part form on the printer and you want multiple copies of the form.

CCITT Groups 3 and 4 Decompression

The D640 printer supports CCITT Groups 3 and 4 image decompression, commonly used for faxing data and images. You can send the printer these printer-specific commands and data compressed using CCITT Groups 3 and 4. The printer decompresses and prints the data.

Three new modes for transfer raster data are supported:

<ESC>*b#M

6 - CCITT G3 one-dimensional (modified Huffman)

7 - CCITT G3 two-dimensional (modified Read)

8 - CCITT G4 two-dimensional (modified Read)

The first four bytes of this command are a 32-bit unsigned integer that specifies the number of pixels per row. If these bytes are inadvertently transposed, the image may appear to be one long row of pixels.

Most standard PCL5 raster image commands, excluding Y offset <ESC>*b#Y commands, work with the new printer-specific command extensions.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 13

If possible, identify the compression method used on the data you’ll be decompressing and printing. With this information, you can more accurately select values for the printer-specific commands. If you cannot identify the type of compressed data, you will have to experiment with the commands when trying to decompress and print the image.

You may encounter CCITT compressed data where the data is reversed. For example, the first four bytes of the data file should contain a value representing the width of the image in pixels per row. A typical value might be Ox: 00 00 01 98, indicating a width of 408

pixels. If the bytes were swapped into “little endian” order, they would appear as Ox: 01 98 00 00, which would indicate a very wide picture.

The D640 supports a resolution of 200 dpi, so images scanned at this resolution print at their normal size.

Image Position

The decompressed image will be placed within the PCL 5 default margins unless edge-to-edge printing is selected. Use the printerspecific edge-to-edge commands, along with the following cursor positioning command:

<ESC>*p0x0Y cursor position at 0, 0

Table 4 Image Position

LaserJet Compatibility

The D640 printer is unique and different from the Hewlett-Packard

LaserJet family of printers in general, and from the LaserJet “Si” series in particular. While these two printer families share the same printer language (PCL and PJL), there are a number of physical differences to their hardware.

Hewlett-Packard has included features in the D640 printer to make it behave like a LaserJet 4Si, so your print jobs turn out like you would expect them to if you were printing to a 4Si. In many instances these features also provide compatibility with other LaserJet products such as the IIISi and/or 5Si.

This section covers the compatibility features associated with PCL commands.

Paper Input

The D640 has three paper input trays, while the LaserJet 4Si has two, and the LaserJet5Si has three.

The IIISi and 4Si printers have a high-capacity input (HCI) unit available as an option. Jobs set up for this environment use the PCL <ESC>&l4H command to se lect the HCI. The sa me command sele cts tray2 on the D640.

HCI selection compatibility is provided through the HCI-Alias Control Panel setting. HCI-Alias enables paper selection compatibility between a LaserJet IIISi (or 4Si) with an HCI and a D640 with an HCI. With HCI-Alias = tray2 (normally the LaserJet 4Si’s high capacity input) the PCL command <ESC>&l4H causes the D640 to pick paper from the HCI. You can also set HCI-Alias = HCI to pick paper from tray1, tray2, tray3, or the HCI in response to the PCL commands shown in Table 5.

Chapter 2: Printing Options 15

Example Configuration

LaserJet IIISi / 4Si

UPPER TRAY contains paper for job separation.

HCI TRAY contains white paper.

This configuration provides 500 sheets in the upper tray (<ESC>&l1H), and 1500 sheets in the HCI tray (<ESC>&l4H). To match this configuration on the D640, set up the D640 as follows:

TRAY1 contains paper for job separation.

HCI contains white paper.

Set HCI-Alias = tray2.

This configuration provides 500 sheets in tray1 (<ESC>&l1H), and 3000 sheets in the HCI (<ESC>&l4H). You could also load paper for job separation in tray2 and tray3 to increase capacity to 1500 sheets.

If HCI-Alias is set to HCI, the values shown below in Table 5 are correct. If HCI-Alias is set to tray2, then you can send a job to either a 4Si or a D640.

Table 5 Tray Map for HCI-Alias = HCI

You can also set the default paper tray (used if there is no paper size or paper source command embedded in the print job) from the Control Panel or via PJL commands. Use the intray setting in the Printing Menu, or the PJL command:

@PJL SET MEDIASOURCE=TRAY1 (or TRAY2 or TRAY3 or HCI)

Internal Fonts

Each of th e D640 inte rnal f onts is alm ost id entica l to t hose used i n the LaserJet 4Si. Due to advances in font technology since the development of the 4Si, some typefaces, treatments, and symbol sets are slightly different. (For example, if you print a very large question mark on each printer, you may notice differences in the shape.)

Each of the D640 printer’s 56 virtual font cartridges is almost identical to the corresponding font cartridge sold for the LaserJet IIISi and 4Si printers.

See Chapter 6 for more information about D640 fonts and virtual font cartridges.

About TIFF Images

The D640 printer supports TIFF emulation which enables your printer to recognize and print bi-level, monochrome TIFF images. Previously, TIFF images had to be part of a larger PCL or PostScript (PS) document to be printed.

TIFF support for the D640 printer conforms to the specifications described in

1992. The information in this chapter assumes you are familiar with

TIFF Revision 6.0

The D640 printer supports relevant parts of Baseline TIFF and selected elements of Extended TIFF. There are no private fields or values required by the printer.

TIFF Revision 6.0

published by Aldus Corporation, June

Note The TIFF standard does not contain any elements to indicate the

termination of data. Therefore, termination of a TIFF file must be

indicated by PJL universal escape sequences or the printer’s I/O timeout configuration.

Printing TIFF Images

TIFF images can be printed using the following methods:

l setting the printer’s control panel to recognize TIFF files

(Emulation = TIFF or Auto). Auto is the recommended setting if you print files using more than one protocol (such as PCL or PS).

l using commands in a print job

Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images 19

Using the Control Panel

On the printer’s control panel, you can explicitly select TIFF emulation. For details, see the

User Manual

When TIFF emulation is set, the following data items are valid:

A new TIFF file, starting with a 4-byte sequence $49492A00 or

$4D4D002A PJL commands

Any other type of data is treated as an error. On the printer’s control panel, you can also use the Auto emulation

setting to implicitly recognize TIFF files. If Auto emulation is set, the printer recognizes either of the following

sequences as valid TIFF file headers and enters TIFF emulation mode automatically, if this sequence is at the start of the print job.

$49492A00 or $4D4D002A

Using Commands in a Print Job

In addition to control panel settings, TIFF protocol can be selected by the PJL command:

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = TIFF

The following is a sample print job for a TIFF file:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL JOB NAME="Sample.tif"<LF> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL SET CLIP=OFF<LF> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=TIFF<LF> < tif file goes here > <ESC><ESC><Bel> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL<LF> @PJL EOJ NAME="Sample.tif"<LF> <ESC>%-12345X

20 Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images

General Rules

The following are some general rules to describe how the D640 printer processes TIFF data.

Each TIFF file is a self-contained unit, made up of one or more

sub-files. Each sub-file describes a single rectangular image. The image may be a complete page, or it may be a part of a page. During TIFF emulation, the printer cannot switch into any other protocol, except at the boundaries of individual TIFF files.

If a TIFF image contains multiple sub-files, the images contained

in the sub-files are placed on separate pages in the order the sub-files appear in the TIFF data stream.

If TIFF is the selected protocol:

• Images are placed with respect to the physical page, with zero margins.

• If a sub-file doesn’t have positioning information, the image is placed at the edge of the page.

• If a sub-file has positioning information, the commands are interpreted as absolute displacements from the edge of the physical page.

• The Clip setting for the document determines if the image is printed to the edge of the page.

This can be a common situation. TIFF documents are often created to take up the entire page. To prevent clipping of the image when you print, make sure Clip = Off is set in the Configuration menu. For best resul t s, t ry

Clip = On Clip = Off

Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images 21

TIFF was designed as a file structure for random-access devices.

When used as a printer protocol, HP recommends the following ordering restrictions apply to allow sequential processing of the data. These include:

• Offset values should be greater than the file position of the offset. For example, If an offset resides at file position A within the TIFF data, its value should be greater than A.

• Within a file, all tag fields pertinent to the image should precede the image data.

• The ordering of components within each sub-file should be:

- Image file directory

- Data values identified by directory entry offsets

- Image data.

See page 23 for some example TIFF structures.

22 Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images

Preferred structure of a TIFF file: In Example 1 and Example 2, all the image file directories

occur early in the file. This is a good structure for TIFF files sent to the D640 printer.

Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images 23

Errors

Errors in the TIFF file header or in directory offset values are considered major errors. The remainder of the TIFF file is ignored and the print job is abandoned.

For other errors, the processing of the current sub-file continues, but no image is printed. Subsequent sub-files are processed normally .

The following are the main categories of errors:

Absence of mandatory TIFF fields (directory entries)

Duplicate occurrences of tags in one directory

Wrong type for a significant TIFF field

Wrong number of values for a significant TIFF field

Value out of range for a significant TIFF field

Offset values less than the file position of the offset (for a

significant TIFF field)

If a TIFF field is not significant for the printer, its Type, Number, and Value are not checked for correctness.

The TIFF specifications (described in fields to appear in ascending tag order. The D640 printer does not enforce this requirement.

TIFF Structure and Fields

This section includes a full list of baseline and extended TIFF fields with comments on their interpretation by the D640 printer.

The following conventions are used to describe the TIFF fields.

Fields marked with * are significant for the processing of image

data by the printer. Fields marked with ** have no default value. These fields are

mandatory. If any of these fields are missing from the TIFF data, an error occurs.

The first line of the TIFF definition lists the name of the field. The

second line provides the tag number in hex, the type of values, and the number values for the field. For example:

Name Tag,Type,N

Comments about the field are listed to the right of the field name.

If the resolution specified is not the same as the currently selected printer resolution (200, 300, or 600 dpi), the image data may be scaled in the horizontal direction by the ratio of printer resolution to specified resolution.

For Group 3 and Group 4 compression modes (compression = 2, 3, or 4), scaling is performed for all ratios, w hether scaling up (expanding the data) or scaling down (reducing the data).

For uncompressed data (compression =1) or PackBits compression (compression = 32773), scaling down is not performed, and scaling up is confined to ratios 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8. Other ratios are treated as the nearest lower ratio. Ratios less than 2 are treated as 1 (no scaling).

The number of pixels per ResolutionUnit in the vertical (ImageLength) direction.

TIFF Images as Part of PCL

Introducing PCL Compression Method 10

The PCL Compression Method command (<ESC>*b#M) determines how raster data is interpreted for the Transfer Raster Data by Row/ Block command (<ESC>*b#W). The selected compression method stays in effect until explicitly changed by another PCL Compression Method command (<ESC>*b#M) or until it is reset by an End Raster Data command (<ESC>*rC).

See table below for a list of compression methods.

Table 10 List of Compression Methods

0 Uncompressed (row-based) 1 Run-length encoding (row-based) 2 TIFF rev 4.0 “PackBits” encoding (row-based)

3 Delta row encoding (row-based) 4 Unencoded (block-based) 5 Adaptive encoding (block-based) 6 CCITT G3 one-dimensional encoding (block-based) 7 CCITT G3 two-dimensional encoding (block-based) 8 CCITT G4 encoding (block-based )

10 Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) rev 6.0 (block-based)

PCL Compression Method 10 is useful when you have a monochrome graphic you want to include as an illustration on a page with PCL text. The actual format of accepted data is described in

“TIFF Structure and Fields” on page 25.

34 Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images

To include an illustration, transfer the entire TIFF file as a block, including the header. For example, if the TIFF file is 23,476 bytes in size, the raster transfer command would be <ESC>*b23476W.

The TIFF file can be little-endian (from a PC) or big-endian (from HP-UX).

Note Only the first image from the TIFF data is printed, any others will be

ignored. The image is rendered as the TIFF file describes it, and then the

image is clipped (not scaled) to the boundaries specified by the PCL commands for raster width and height. Furt her, the image will be treated just as any other PCL raster image when used with the Transparency Modes.

Chapter 3: Working with TIFF Images 35

Using the Printer’s

Hard Disk

Data Directories

The D640 contains an internal 1.2GB hard disk drive. It is pre-loaded with about 80 MB of files. This leaves over 1.1 GB available for the users.

The D640 has a set of disk and file operation commands that are compatible with similar commands on other LaserJet products. With these commands, you can download files containing fonts, macros, symbol-sets, or complete jobs. Refer to “Commands to Read/Write to

Hard Disk” on page 43 for a detailed reference to these commands.

Printer Data Directories

The pre-loaded files on the hard disk are arranged in these directories.

USER_ADJ\* User adjustment files called out in the D640 User

Manual MAINT\* Maintenance tools and data for service purposes. FONTS\* Factory provided fonts for virtual font cartridges.

User Data Directories

These are preassigned user directories for your downloaded files. \PCL5\USER\* User downloaded fonts, macros, softpatterns, and

jobs. \CRT\* Cartridge Definition (.CRT) files. \PS\USER\* User downloaded PostScript related files.

Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk 41

File System Conventions

The D640 printer now includes the following file system conventions.

Long Filenames

The file system for the D640 printer supports a long filename convention similar (but not identical) to long filenames in MS Windows.

Long filenames can include any combination of the following:

name stems longer than 8 characters (for example,

longername.ext) extensions longer than 3 characters (for example, name.grp1)

names containing more than one extension or dot “.” (for

example, name.rev21.tif) names containing special characters (for example,

name:new.user or ?name.+)

Before you create files with long names, consider the following:

HP strongly recommends that characters used in filenames be

confined to the ASCII printing set – excluding characters used as punctuation symbols or wildcards.

The following printing characters are excluded in DOS and MS Windows:

Operating system Excluded Characters

DOS Windows 95 or NT

The D640 filing system does not enforce these restrictions. However, you may encounter problems when protocol commands refer to filenames with excluded characters.

Files and directories with long filenames have an additional

abbreviated name which is DOS-compatible (8.3 characters). In any context, files and directories may be specified by either the long name or the abbreviated name.

l The limit on a file or directory name (including all extensions) is

100 characters.

l There is an absolute upper limit of 255 characters on a complete

pathname (including drive specifier).

42 Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk

. " / \ [ ] : ; | = , ? * + < > " / \ : | ? * < >

Other practical constraints, such as the size of fields on the

printer’s control panel and in directory listings, should also be considered.

In terms of storage space and file access speed, long filenames

are significantly less efficient than standard names.

Lowercase in Filenames

The D640 printer supports filenames that include both lowercase and uppercase letters. Filenames are no longer converted to uppercase.

As with MS Windows, case is not significant for matching names. Two strings which differ only in case are considered to be the same name. (For example, name.ext and NaME.Ext).

This rule applies to both standard and long filenames.

Default Drive

The default drive is now the printer’s internal hard disk, C: (HDD), instead of the printer’s floppy disk, A: (FDD).

However, this default should not be assumed. A drive specifier should always be included to indicate the internal hard drive. Otherwise, this might lead to incompatibility between printer protocol sent across the network and printer protocol executed from disk.

Commands to Read/Write to Hard Disk

You can read, write, and delete files on the printer’s hard disk with PJL commands. Reading from mass storage is different for each emulation/personality.

Note Currently, there are no security features built into the hard disk filing

system. HP does not recommend storing sensitive files on the internal hard disk.

Files may contain fonts, macros, symbol-sets, user-defined

patterns, or ordinary print data.

l File names can contain up to 100 characters. See “File System

Conventions” on page 42 for a detailed descr iption.

Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk 43

Some file extensions have special meaning on the printer. These

include:

.HPG HP GL2 file .CRT Cartridg e definition file .PCL PCL file .PS PostScript file .SFS PCL Softfont in Intellifont form .SFT PCL Softfont in True Type form

Initialize

This command initializes a floppy diskette for use with the D640. Diskettes must already be formatted on the PC in IBM-PC compatible format.

@PJL FSINIT VOLUME = "volume name" <LF>

If a password has been set, it must have been given prior to issuing this command.

Make Directory on Disk

This command creates a new directory on the floppy diskette.

@PJL FSMKDIR NAME="pathname"<LF>

where pathname is a fully-qualified pathname. For example:

@PJL FSMKDIR NAME= "C:\PCL5\USER\ACME" <LF>

Only one subdirectory can be created at a time, starting at the

highest level in the tree.

Creating a directory doesn’t make it your current working

directory.

44 Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk

Store a PCL Print File on the Internal Hard Disk

This command stores a file on the printer’s internal hard disk.

@PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY SIZE=<integer>

NAME=”pathname”<EOL> binary data<UEL>

All keywords must be supplied correctly. Thus an <ESC>E or <UEL> out of place is invalid (and does a reset).

White space may be present on either side of the = sign.

SIZE=integer

Integer is the number of bytes of binary data, expressed as ASCII digits.

Integer is an integer in the range of 2 to max-signed-int.

NAME="pathname"

Quotes are required to delimit pathname. The pathname consists of a path (c:\pcl5\...) and a filename. The pathname must be valid for the file to be stored. Follow DOS

conventions and use .PCL for the extension.

If a file exists already with the same name the user gives, and it is

not a “delete-protected” file, the old file is overwritten. If the data stream gets cut off before the operation completes,

then no file is created, and if there was a file of the same name it may no longer exist; an error could be returned.

The <EOL> is required to indicate that the PJL command ends

here and binary data starts in the following byte. The <UEL> is consumed by the FSDOWNLOAD command; it is

not a job boundary, and it is not counted in the SIZE=integer count.

Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk 45

The contents of binary data are not checked by the printer. It is up

to you to send valid data. Binary data can contain any number of <UEL> and or <EOL> chars; they are not a job boundary during FSDOWNLOAD. If the data does contain <UEL> or <EOL> and SIZE is not specified correctly, the binary data is parsed as PJL commands (which might not be desirable). You must make sure the SIZE is given correctly for the accompanying data stream. If the SIZE has been given correctly and there is more binary data supplied, the excess data is ignored. The next PJL command starts after the first <UEL> command following the binary data.

Once a file is stored on disk, it is available to all subsequent jobs

for re-use.

Note Do not store a font or macro with a PCL ID number embedded in it.

The ID number should be assigned by the job stream when it retrieves the macro from disk.

Delete a File From Disk

This command removes a file from the printer’s hard disk.

@PJL FSDELETE NAME="pathname" <EOL>

Some notes about this command include:

l White space can be present around the equal sign. l Quotes must be provided to delimit pathname. l The pathname is full pathname. No default. l If the file is a “delete-protected” file, it is not deleted.

46 Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk

Using a Disk File in a PCL Job

The Alphanumeric ID command reads a file stored on the hard disk or floppy disk. With this command, the D640 reads the file into memory and treats this information as if it was part of the original print job. The

result is similar to an “include” statement in a high-level programming language.

The D640 does not do any special processing of the file, see “Recommended Contents of Binary Data” on page 46.

The format of the Alphanumeric ID command is as follows:

<ESC> & n # W [ file identification data ]

# The number of bytes of data that follow the capital W. A value

must be supplied.

[file identification data]

Byte Content

1 Operation Byte (UB) 2

...#File Identifier Name (ASCxx)

Operation Byte (UB) – The Operation Byte is an unsigned byte, which may have a value 0 through 5. The LaserJet family of printers uses this byte to indicate whether the file contents are treated as a font or as a macro. The D640 does not use this byte, but requires the value to be within the range specified. (The values 0 to 5 are control codes

<SOH>, <STX>, <ETX>, <EOT>, and <ENQ>.)

File Identifier Name (ASCxx) – The File Identifier Name is ASCII data. The D640 requires the full pathname of the file, including the volume name. Files and directories can contain the letters A..Z, a..z, and the numerals 0..9. For example:

C:\PCL5\USER\MyFile.pcl. Do not use

quotation marks around the filename.

Volume P hys ical Devi ce

c: or C: The inter nal hard drive a: or A: The floppy drive

The PCL commands to manage fonts, macros, patterns, and symbol sets only act on objects in memory. The disk file can be removed only with the @PJL FSDELETE command.

In the examples below, <LF> is a line feed, <CR> is carriage return, <ESC> is the Escape character, and → means that the line is continued.

Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk 47

Example 1: Storing a Macro on Disk and Using it in a Print Job

Step 1 Write the macro to the hard disk. For example:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL JOB NAME = "Simple Macro"<LF> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY SIZE=30→

NAME = "C:\PCL5\USER\Macro"<LF>

<ESC>&f0XThis is a test line.<ESC>&f1X<ESC>%-12345X→ <ESC>%-12345X@PJL EOJ NAME = "Simple Macro"<LF>

Step 2 Use the macro in a print job. For example:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL JOB NAME = "Use Simple Macro"<LF> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL<LF> <ESC>E<ESC>&f95Y<ESC>&n19W<0x04>c:\PCL5\USER\Macro→

<ESC>&f9XCall the macro:<ESC>&f95y3X:After the macro→ <ESC>E →

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL EOJ NAME = "Use Simple Macro"<LF>

The printed result will be:

Call the macro:This is a test line.:After the macro

Step 3 Delete the macro from the disk. For example:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL JOB NAME = "Cleanup"<LF> <ESC>%-12345X@PJL FSDELETE→

NAME = "c:\PCL5\USER\Macro"<LF>

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL EOJ NAME = "Cleanup"<LF>

48 Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk

Example 2: Creating a Virtual Font Cartridge

Suppose you have several PCL soft fonts you want to include in a virtual font cartridge on the D640 printer. The PCL soft font files are:

Filename Size (in bytes)

bc120r04.sfp 46448 cr100i12.pcp 27136 fuj00m8o.sfs 10090 ggi00pmo.sfs 56469 lp085r16.pmp 18688

To create a virtual font cartridge: Step 1 Create a directory on the printer’s hard disk and place the

font files in that directory.

Step 2 Create a cartridge definition file and place it in the C:\CRT

directory on the printer’s hard disk.

Step 3 Cycle power on the printer to make the new cartridge.

Virtual Font Cartridges

In addition to built-in fonts, the D640 printer includes a set of “virtual” font cartridges. Modeled after the font cartridges available on other LaserJet products, these virtual fonts cartridges are stored on the printer’s hard disk. (For details, see “List of Font Cartridges” on page 89.)

Activating a Font Cartridge Using PJL

The following table gives an example of using PJL commands to activate a virtual font cartridge on the D640 printer.

@PJL JOB ...

@PJL LPARAM:PCL SET CARTRIDGE1=”MULTIBAR” /* The name must match the name in the printer/* @PJL LPARAM:PCL SET CARTRIDGE2=”NONE” /*Make sure cartridge 2 is empty/* ...PCL data ... @PJL EOJ...

Creating Your Own Font Cartridge

You can create additional font cartridges and store them on the

printer’s hard disk. See “Example 2: Creating a Virtual Font Cartridge” on page 49 for more information.
