Margin and Page Portrait/Landscape Orientation Commands

These commands are used to set the top, bottom, right, and left margins, and to specify portrait or landscape page orientation. Normal text data is printed inside the margins, but the TEXT and RTEXT commands can be used to print character strings or graphics anywhere in the entire printable area of the page, regardless of the margin settings. There are several commands for setting margins, so it is possible to select the one that best suits the purpose at hand. Margin settings can be changed in the middle of a page.

Note that the following limitations apply to the margin setting commands.

• The right margin must be at least one space character to the right of the left margin.

• The bottom margin must be at least one line below the top margin.

• It is not possible to specify negative values as margin settings.

For example, a right margin setting beyond the printable area’s right edge would be brought back just inside the right edge of the printable area. In like manner, it is not possible to use a bottom margin setting that would place the bottom margin past the bottom edge of the printable area. An easy way to set the right and bottom margins to the very edge of the printable area is to use a large value such as 100 (centimeters).

The margins and page orientation can be reset by using the RES command.

Section 1.3. of the Technical

PRESCRIBE Command Reference

Text Spacing Commands

These commands control the line spacing, character spacing, underline spacing, and underline thickness. The SLS and SLPI commands are used to set the line spacing. The SCS and SCPI commands are used to set the character spacing. These spacing settings may be changed even in the middle of a page.

The table below lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the text spacing command parameters. If values outside of the above ranges are used, the command is ignored. If a value smaller than one dot is specified for the character spacing, it is interpreted as 0, which results in proportional spacing.

Font Commands

The font commands are used to select fonts. Fonts can be selected using substitute numbers instead of a font’s specific number. It is also possible to change the attributes of fonts and print them in a unique style. Additionally, there are commands to download fonts to the printing system from an external source, and to generate fonts.

Fonts are more fully explained in Chapter 4 of the Technical Reference manual.

Cursor Movement Commands

These commands move the cursor to specific positions. Cursor movements can be established for absolute positions based on the margins, zero point positions based on the printable area, or relative positions based on the current cursor position.

Cursor movement commands only change the position of the cursor. Also, the cursor may not be moved outside of the printable area (see MZP command). It is possible to store the cursor position in memory then to return to that position stored in memory.

Vector Graphics Commands

The commands below are used to create figures such as lines, circles, and rectangles, and to add shading, simply by adding parameters.

It is possible to specify colors for all vector graphics. For details, see a color specific command such as SCOL.

PRESCRIBE Command Reference

Print settings according to command

Actual printed result

If an attempt is made to create figures outside of the printable area using these commands, the coordinates are adjusted automatically so that the figures print inside the printable area. As in the example below, this can produce printed results different from what is expected.

Printing extremely complex figures can exhaust printing system memory. Downloadable fonts can be particularly taxing on printing system memory, producing unexpected print results. It may be possible to correct the problem by removing some of the downloaded fonts or by simplifying the graphic. To determine current memory usage, refer to a status page.

2. PRESCRIBE Commands

In the command format descriptions below, the command is written in fixed-pitch CAPITAL letters. Parameters are indicated in lowercase italics. Optional parameters, which may be omitted, are enclosed in brackets [ ]. Three dots (...) mean that the preceding parameters may be repeated. Except for the initial !R!, PRESCRIBE commands may be written in lowercase letters if preferred.

Example:

!R! SFNT ’Helvetica’; EXIT;

Refer to Chapter 1 of the Technical Reference manual for the discussion on how PRESCRIBE follows the rule regarding upper- and lowercase letters.

The functions of some PRESCRIBE commands are duplicated by the panel keys. For example, the same status page can be printed by the STAT command or by pressing the panel keys. The User’s Manual provides a full description of the control panel functions.

Many PRESCRIBE commands can be embedded commands within word processing software. This support depends upon the emulation mode and the software. See

Emulation of the Technical Reference manual.

PRESCRIBE Commands

PRESCRIBE Command Reference

COLOR

ACLI — Add CoLor by Index

Format

ACLI index, color1, color2, color3;

Parameters

index:

integer from 1 to 255

color1:

value for red, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for lightness, number from 0.0 to 100.0, in L*a*b color space

color2:

color3:

Function

value for green, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for red/green, number from 0.0 to 1

value for blue, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for yellow/blue, number from 0.0 to 100.0, in L*a*b color space

The ACLI command adds a color to the currently active palette. This command is ignored when the currently active palette is a simple color palette or the Pantone color palette. If an index number larger than the palette size is given, this command is also ignored. If a color is added to the existing index number, the current color for that index number is automatically replaced with the new color.

To add a color in a palette, the following guidelines must be used depending on the color space used:

For RGB color space, specify the values for red, green, and blue with an integer from 0 to 255, where 0 = 0% and 255 = 100%. Any value outside this range is rounded to the minimum or maximum value, namely 0 or 255. A fractional value beyond the decimal point is discarded.

00.0, in L*a*b color space

For L*a*b color space, specify relative values for the lightness, red/green, and yellow/ blue with a number from 0.0 to 100.0. Any value outside this range is rounded to the minimum or maximum value, namely 0.0 or 100.0.

ALTF — change to ALTernate Font

Format

ALTF alternate-number;

Parameter

alternate-number: a number from 0 to 47

Function

The ALTF command changes the current font to a font designated by an alternate number. The actual font assigned to this alternate number is set by a previous SETF command.

The alternate number can be a bitmap font number or a number specifically assigned to the scalable font using the SFNT command (See File on the next page).

ALTF

If no font has been assigned to the specified alternate number, the ALTF command has no effect: the font does not change.

The ALTF command enables you to prepare a document using several fonts, without deciding in advance which specific fonts to use. For example, you could use ALTF 1 to designate plain text and ALTF 2 to designate italics, and allow the specific size and style of type to be determined by SETF commands at a later time.

AMCR — call Automatic MaCRo

Format

AMCR mode, [repeat-count] macro-name, parameter, ...;

Parameters

mode:

E = Enable automatic macro; Save and retain current printing parameters T = Enable automatic macro; Do not save current printing parameters D = Disable automatic macro

repeat-count:

number of times the macro is executed

AMCR

macro-name:

name defined by the MCRO command

parameter:

values given to the dummy parameters in the macro definition

Function

The AMCR command enables the automatic macro (overlay). It automatically executes the macro defined by a MCRO command each time a page is printed. For example, it would be used to print multiple copies of the same form, filled in with different text.

The AMCR command closely resembles the CALL command; therefore, the user should refer to the section on the CALL command for further information.

When the automatic macro is enabled using mode E, the following printing system settings are saved and retained upon completion of the macro: font information, margins, cursor position, line spacing, character spacing, page orientation, unit of measurement, underline parameters, and fill pattern.

When the automatic macro is enabled with mode T, the printing system settings are modified according to the parameter settings contained in the macro.

Color specifications may be used within macros. When an auto-macro (AMCR) is executed, the active palette and color index number are saved and restored after the macro has executed.

The automatic macro remains enabled until the AMCR command with the mode set to D is encountered or the printing system is switched off. Note that mode D requires no other parameters such as repeat-count.

The following commands are invalid within a macro: ASTK, PSRC, CCPY, DUPX, DXPG, JOBD, JOBL, JOBO, JOBP, JOBS, JOBT, JOG, LDFC, LDFN, MID, MSTK, RDMP, SEM, SPSZ, SSTK, STAK, STAT, STPL, VMAL, VMPW

APSG — Assign Paper Source Group

Format

APSG group # (cassette 1), group # (cassette 2), ...group # (cassette 6);

Parameters

group #:

Number representing the group to which the cassette is grouped, from the top (1) towards the bottom (6) cassette, as the following numbers: 0 = Ungroup the cassette 1 = Assign the cassette for group 1 2 = Assign the cassette for group 2 3 = Assign the cassette for group 3

APSG

Function

Example

The APSG command assigns the paper cassettes with group numbers, between 1 through 3, so that the grouped cassettes behave as a single paper source for bulk printing. The MP tray cannot be assigned to a group. All 6 parameters must be given even though the printer has less than 6 cassettes installed. For missing cassette numbers, specify 0.

The printing system will automatically switch between the paper cassettes in the group when a cassette becomes empty. When a group contains paper of different paper sizes and types, printing will continue for the different paper sizes and types.

If the automatic paper selection feature of the printer driver is used, APSG is disabled. To utilize paper source grouping, the paper source must be explicitly commanded by the printer driver.

To set six paper cassettes into group 1 (cassettes 1 and 4), group 2 (cassettes 2 and 5), and group 3 (cassettes 3 and 6), respectively:

!R! APSG 1,2,3,1,2,3; EXIT;

In this example, when cassette 1 becomes empty, printing will continue using cassette 4 which is the other part of group 1.

The APSG sequence is valid after the printing system is switched off. To upgroup paper cassettes, use parameter 0 as the following example:

!R! APSG 1,0,0,1,0,0; EXIT;

Paper cassettes of 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are ungrouped, keeping paper cassettes 1 and 3 (group 1) intact.

ARC — draw filled-in ARC

Format

ARC inner-radius, outer-radius, start-angle, end-angle;

Parameters

inner-radius:

inner radius of arc

outer-radius:

outer radius of arc

start-angle:

starting angle

end-angle:

Function

ending angle

The ARC command works in the standard graphics mode. It draws a filled-in arc-shaped area extending from the inner radius to the outer radius, and from the starting angle to the ending angle. The area is filled with the pattern designated by the previous PAT, FPAT, or GPAT command. The starting and ending angles are specified in integer degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. (Note that the PARC command measures the angles from the positive x axis.) The cursor is located at the center of curvature of the arc, and does not move.

If the inner radius is zero, the area has a pie-slice shape, and can be used to fill in one sector of a pie chart.

If the inner and outer radii are nearly equal and the fill pattern is the all-black pattern (PAT 1, for example), the result is a line arc. The line thickness is the difference between the two radii, rather than the value designated by the SPD (set pen diameter) command.

The ARC command does not draw the boundary of the filled-in area.

ASFN — ASsign external characters for FoNt

Format

ASFN mode, font-number;

Parameters

mode:

A = assign external characters R = release external characters

font-number:

number identifying the external character font: 1000 to 65535

ASFN

Function

The ASFN command assigns external characters which are defined by the user to the current resident font. The external characters should be generated and downloaded in the printing system as an external font by using the LDFC or LDFN command.

For the print systems supporting 2-byte font system, if the user-defined font is a 1-byte code font, it is assigned to the current resident roman (ANK) font. If it is a 2-byte code font, it is assigned to the current 2-byte font.

This command has no effect if the resident font is a bitmap font and the font to be assigned is an outline font, or vice versa.

mode = R is used to release the current resident font from the external characters. Note that it is necessary to release the external font assignment if you want to delete the external font.

PRESCRIBE Command Reference

ASTK — Assign STacKer trays

Format

ASTK tray1, tray2, tray3, ...;

Parameters

tray1, tray2, tray3, ...:

Number representing the tray in the optional sorter which becomes the last (bottom) tray in each group, as counted from the top towards the bottom tray.

Function

The ASTK command assigns the sorter trays in groups so that the sorter can be shared among the multiple users. Each parameter represents the last tray in each group of trays. The maximum number of parameters must be equal to the number of the trays the sorter is equipped with. By the factory default, the trays are grouped as the following table:

Group Sorter model

SO-6 SO-30 SO-60

1 1, 2 1, 2 1, 2 2 3, 4 3, 4 3, 4 3 5, 6 5, 6 5 4 7, 8 7, 8 — 59 to 159— Equiv. ASTK command ASTK 2, 4, 6, 8; ASTK 2, 4, 6, 8; ASTK 2, 4;

The ASTK command is ignored if parameters include the value greater than the actual number of trays. If the number of parameters is less than the maximum number of sorter trays, the printing system automatically groups the remaining trays in one, making it the last group. For example, the command sequence ASTK 2, 4, 6; is equivalent to ASTK 2, 4, 6, (bottom tray number);.

The tray group setting made by ASTK is stored indefinitely in the printing system’s permanent memory while the power is off, or until it is changed by another ASTK command. It is ignored in the normal sorter mode (FRPO S0, 0;) but the printing system automatically sets up the previous tray group setting when the sorter is again switched to the multiple environment mode (FRPO S0, 1; or FRPO S0, 2;).

File

The following command sequence delivers print jobs to trays 4, 5, 6, and 7 (the second group).

Length of the bars

For the UPC and EAN (JAN) barcode type, the length of the short and tall bars can be adjusted. When adjusting the length of the tall or short bars, specify that of both tall and short bars. If the length of only the tall or short bars is adjusted, the bars' length does not change. It is recommended to use the dot for the unit of measurement in order to avoid the translation error by the barcode reader. In the example below, the length of the short bar is specified as 1.5cm and the tall bar as 1.7cm.

Width and space of the bar

It is possible to adjust the widths of the bars and space between the bars. When adjusting these widths, specify all of the eight width and space parameters. Specify the bar 1 to bar 4 in the ascending order. The values can be specified between 1 and 200 dots.

It is recommended to use the dot for the unit of width in order to avoid the translation error by the barcode reader. The example below specifies the width of the first bar and space as 5 dots and that of the remaining bars as 10 dots.

BKLT — print in BooKLeT binding

Format

BKLT binding;

Parameter

binding:

number representing binding mode: 0 = None

1 = Left-to-right binding 2 = Right-to-left binding

Function

The BKLT command allows printing a job as a booklet, reordering and printing the pages two-up on a sheet of paper. Booklet printing requires the hard disk to be installed in the printing system.

The job to booklet-print must be defined using the JOBS command. Used together with the FOLD command, the paper can be folded in the middle to form a booklet.

Booklet printing is possible for documents of A4, A5, B5, letter, statement, or 16K size documents and are automatically printed on double size paper, namely A3, A4-R, B4, ledger, letter-R, or 8K. The original page size must be specified by the SPSZ command, for example, SPSZ 8; for A4 page size. It is also possible to reduce the original page size by commanding the second parameter for SPSZ. For example, to print two A4 pages on a A4 sheet, command SPSZ 8, 5;. For details on page size, refer to the SPSZ command page in this manual. The document must have the same page size for all pages. If the double size paper for the document is not available in the printing system, the printing system ignores the BKLT command and prints in the original paper size. Duplex printing is also possible by adding the DUPX command. To correctly arrange two neighboring pages in line, short-edge binding duplex must be used by commanding DUPX 2;.

The order of print pages can be selected by binding in either of the following manners:

File

binding = 1, reading pages from left to right

binding = 2, reading pages from right to left

BKLT

This command is not supported by some photocopier models.

The following command sequence prints a copy of a 12-page A4 document in booklet mode, folding the stack in the middle. The printing system will require A4-R paper to be loaded.

CALL — CALL macro

Format

CALL[ repeat-count] macro-name, parameter-value, ...;

Parameters

repeat-count:

number of times the macro is to be executed

macro-name:

name defined by a MCRO command

parameter-values:

values given to the dummy parameters in the macro definition

Function

The CALL command executes a macro previously defined by a MCRO command. The macro may be executed any desired number of times by specifying a repeat count. Note that the repeat count is not followed by a comma. If the repeat count is omitted, the macro is executed once.

Only the first four characters of the macro name are significant. They must match the first four characters of a macro name defined by a previous MCRO command.

A parameter value consists of the characters that occur between the delimiting commas, excluding the commas. These parameters are substituted without change for the corresponding dummy parameter in the macro definition, except that consecutive spaces are compressed to a single space.

When a character-string parameter is enclosed in apostrophes or quotation marks, the enclosed string together with the enclosing apostrophes or quotation marks is substituted for the dummy parameter. In this case, consecutive spaces are not compressed.

If a CALL command has too few parameters, it is still valid. The macro is partially executed; any commands in the macro body without appropriate parameters will be ignored.

The CALL command, like other commands, is limited to 255 characters in length.

CCPY — Carbon CoPY

Format

CCPY mode;

Parameter

mode:

E = enable carbon copy D = disable carbon copy

Function

The CCPY command continuously executes different automacros using different paper sources, enabling to apply the different form overlay using the different paper type to a document to be carbon-copied, similarly to hand-writing carbon copy forms. The CCPY statement should be terminated with the ENDC command.

The macro and paper source for each form should be described following the CCPY command in a separate line using the PSRC and AMCR command, and terminated by the TERM command. For example, the second line in the following example is applied to the first page of the document and executes the CROPMARK macro printing the page on the paper fed from cassette #2. The third line applies to the second page of the document, and so on. It is possible to add as many lines as required to match the number of pages of the document to print.

CCPY E;

PSRC 2; AMCR E, CROPMARK; TERM; PSRC 3; AMCR E, SIGNATURE; TERM; PSRC 4; AMCR E, COLOPHON; TERM;

ENDC;

During the carbon copy is executed, the copy count (COPY command) is forced to be 1. To apply no overlay to a specific page, describe only the TERM command in the line corresponding to the page. Note that the same paper source as the previous line is applied to that line. For example:

CCPY E;

PSRC 2; AMCR E, CROPMARK; TERM; TERM; PSRC 4; AMCR E, COLOPHON; TERM;

ENDC;

In the example above, the second page is printed using cassette #2 with no form overlay.

In carbon copy, duplex printing is not possible. The paper size and the page orientation should be consistent for all pages in the document to be carbon copied. Otherwise, the carbon copy is cancelled.

To terminate carbon copy, send CCPY D to the printing system.

CID — Configure color-Image Data

Format

Parameters

color-space:

0 = Device-dependent RGB (Default) 1 = Device-dependent CMY 2 = Void 3 = CIE L*a*b

encoding:

Pixel encoding 1 = Indexed by Pixel (Default) 3 = Direct by Pixel

Function

The CID command creates a new color palette using the ID which is assigned to the currently active palette. Note that the currently active palette is deleted by this command.

It is possible to add and change colors on this palette. However, the currently active colors do not change even though a new palette is created with this command.

The same colors as simple colors are defined for index numbers 0 through 7 when the RGB color space is specified. The color assignments for these indices can be changed using the ACLI command.

Indexed by Pixel encoding assigns colors onto the palette. This is used for rendering text and vector objects. Direct by Pixel encoding assigns colors directly to pixels. This is used for bitmap images.

Changing a color palette does not affect color print quality on output pages.

CLIP — CLIP current path

Format

CLIP [clip-mode];

Parameter

clip-mode:

1: EO clip 2: Non-zero winding clip

Function

The CLIP command sets the current path as the clipped path. After this command is issued, no painting is done outside the area of the path. Executing this command does not delete the current path.

The RES command initializes paths to a state with no clip area.

CLPR — CLiP Rectangular area

Format

CLPR [x1, y1, x2, y2];

Parameters

x1:

x coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle

y1:

y coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle

x2:

x coordinate of the bottom-right corner of the rectangle

CLPR

y2:

Function

y coordinate of the bottom-right corner of the rectangle

The CLPR command describes a rectangular path which intersects the inside of the texts, current path, or raster graphics objects. The clipping rectangle does not clip those graphics segments drawn in the standard mode graphics. Any painting operations outside the specified rectangle is erased and those segments within it are painted on the page.

The coordinates are measured from the top and left edge limits in the units designated by the UNIT command. If the parameters are omitted, the rectangle is equal to the size of the current page size. If an attempt is made to position the top-left corner to the right of the bottom-left corner [greater values for (x1, y1) than for (x2, y2)], the printing system exchanges the coordinate values with each other.

The printing system resets the size of the rectangular clipping path to be equal to the maximum printable area of the current page size when a PSRC, RES, SPO, or SPSZ (Set Page SiZe) command is encountered.

Parameters

mode:

palette control mode: A = Delete all palettes S = Delete all stacked palettes D = Delete the palette having the specified ID C = Copy the active palette to the specified ID

palette-id:

number from 0 to 32767 (Default is 0)

CPAL

Function

The CPAL command controls the palette identified by palette-id in the way described by the control mode. If palette-id is not specified, the command is applied to palette of ID 0. No check is made whether the palette ID number given already exists for another palette. The palette ID number is reset to 0 by RES command.

Mode A deletes all existing palettes and brings the default palette back to the default state (ID 0). Note that non-active palettes are not deleted. Also, palette-id is not used when mode is A.

Mode S deletes all palettes that are not active. The active palette is not affected. Also, any ID specified by palette-id is not used.

Mode D deletes the palette having the ID specified by palette-id regardless of being active or inactive. If the palette deleted was active, then the current palette will be a monochrome palette having the same ID as that of the deleted palette.

Mode C copies the currently active palette to a new palette with the new ID specified by palette-id. If the palette having the same ID already exists, that palette is overwritten.

Deleting or copying a color palette does not affect color print quality on output pages.

CSET

‘Symbol set’ refers to a specific group of alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic characters. The CSET command summons the symbol set to suit the various languages with the current font. The factory default symbol set is 0U (US ASCII).

When the FSET command is used to select a font, the printing system selects a font based on a prioritization of the font characteristics. Among the given characteristics, the symbol set has the highest priority in the font selection process. Refer to the FSET command page.

The available symbol sets depend on the printing system model and the fonts. If the specified symbol set does not exist, the symbol set remains unchanged.

Note

CSTK — select Collator STacKer

Format

CSTK [tray, tray, ...]; or CSTK 0;

Parameter

tray:

number from 1 to the maximum (bottom)

Function

The CSTK command is effective only when the optional sorter is installed to the printing system. It instructs the printing system to deliver printed pages to the sorter in the collator mode. Each tray specified receives all copies of one page. The copies of the first page go to the first tray, the copies of the second page to the second tray, and so on. If the tray parameter is omitted, the trays are used in order from top to bottom.

File

The copy count must be selected with the COPY command. The maximum copy count is the maximum capacity of the sorter trays (which varies from sorter model to model).

Upon receiving the CSTK command, the printing system automatically performs a form feed.

The tray parameter of 0 (CSTK 0;) should be used only to deselect the collator mode and to receive the pages in the sorter’s bulk tray (if available).

This command is irrelevant to certain combination of photocopier models and option finisher models.

CTXT — print Centered TeXT

Format

CTXT [,string][,option][,U-option];

Parameters

string:

option:

B = Leave cursor at center of string E = Move cursor at end of string L = Move cursor down one line N = Move cursor to beginning of next line

CTXT

U-option:

Function

File

Underline text

The CTXT command prints the given string centered at the cursor location, then moves the cursor as designated by the option. The string must be enclosed in either single or double quotation marks. (If the string includes one kind of quotation marks, use the other kind to enclose it.) If the string is omitted, nothing is printed. If the option is omitted, the cursor is not moved. If the U-option is specified, the text is underlined. The underline thickness and location can be set by the SULP command.

The string is not centered between the right and left margins unless the cursor is located halfway between the margins. Before the CTXT command, the cursor should be moved to the desired center position by a command such as MAP, MRP, or PMRP.

The length of the string is unlimited, except that the command as a whole may not be longer than 255 characters. Carriage-return and linefeed codes in the string are ignored.

DRP — Draw to Relative Position

Format

DRP x-coordinate, y-coordinate, ...;

Parameter

x-coordinate/y-coordinate:

coordinates as measured from the current cursor position

Function

The DRP command draws a line from the current cursor position to a specified relative position. The thickness of the line is designated by the SPD (set pen diameter) command. The coordinates and line thickness are measured by the value designated by the UNIT command.

File

Multiple pairs of coordinates may be specified. The printing system then draws a connected series of line segments, proceeding from one point to the next. For example, DRP 1, 2, 3, 4; is equivalent to DRP 1, 2; DRP 3, 4;. The coordinates may be positive or negative.

The DRP command is ignored in the path mode graphics. To add a line segment to a path, use the PDRP (in Path, Draw to Relative Position) command.
