CHAPTER 2: PCL Emulation

When you select PCL emulation as the printer language, the printer supports the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet Printer Command Language. This chapter shows how to select PCL emulation and discusses PCL emulation commands, along with resident PCL emulation font and symbol set support.

T o det ermine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: “PCL Support” on page A-1.

PCL

Selecting PCL Emulation

Using SmartSwitch

When SmartSwitch is enabled f or both printer languages on an interf ace (f or example , Paral lel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automa tically 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 betwe en PostScript emulation and PCL emulation.

Using the Operator Panel or MarkVision Professional

If SmartSwitch is set to Off for both printer languages, you can select PCL emulation from your printer operator panel or from MarkVision™ Professional. Refer to your printer user documentation fo r information on changing menu settings.

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.

MarkVision Professional. For some printers , Print Area supports three values: Normal, Whole Page, and Fit to Page. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.

PCL Logical Page Area

The Normal setting, which is t he factory def ault, means the printable area incl udes the entire page except the narrow border around the edge of the page. This is the nonprintable area. The printer measures margin settings relative to the logical page.

PCL

The Whole Page setting only affects pages printed when using PCL emulation. If Whole Page is selected, the PCL language sets the logical page area equal to the physical page dimens ions. Since the logical page dimensions and the physical page dimensions are the same, in theory, the cursor may be positioned anywhere on the page. Howe v er, the PCL language clips the image to the printab le area. So , the Whole Page sett ing is useful f or printing scanne d images that e xtend from edge to edg e of a page.

Some printers offer the Fit to Page setting. When Fit to Page is selected, PCL emulation or P o stScript emul ation formats a page using a printable area equal to the physical page, which is from one edge of the page to the ot her edge of the page. If you use this setting, no clipping occurs. In Fit to Page, the PCL emulation logical page dimensions are equal to the physical page dimensions, as in the Whole Page sett ing .

The printer holds this f ormatted image in memory , but when t he page prints, the image is compressed a small amount in both horizontal and vertical directions, and then centered on the physical page f or lett er-siz e paper onl y. This process creates a small margin around the image. This artificial margin pre ven ts printing from one edge to the other, since doing so could contaminate the printer and cause printing problems.

The following illustrations show an image held in memory for printing from one edge to the other and how the image would actually print based on the Fit to Page setting. Notice that a small border appears at t he edges of the printed page , and t he image is slightly compressed.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark E220

Your printer supports 19 fonts in PCL emulation, including 17 scalable fonts and two bitmapped fonts.

Several parameters are used to select a font from the data stream. These include symbol set, spacing, point or pitch, style, weight, and typeface number . Print the font sample pages to view the specific par ameters for each font. For scalable fonts, you can vary the size of a font by specifying pitch or point siz e. For bitmapped fonts, you must choose the pitch or point size lis ted on the f ont sample pages. You can print the font sample pages using a PJL command (see “LPRINTPCLFONTS” on page 3-83).

A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for each of these characters. Your printer has 83 resident symb ol sets. The tables beginning on page 2-10 show the symbol sets available for each font in PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all symbol sets.

You can also select fonts using PJL commands . The selection parameter is the number portion from the font identifi er sho wn on t he font sample pages, such as 0 or 18 from font identifi ers R0 or R18. Use the PJL v a lues sho wn in the tables beginning on page 2-10 to select a symbol set. If a symbol set does not have a PJL value, use the symbol set ID to select the symbol set. A f ont selection can be eit her temporary or set as the default.

Use the followi ng PJL comman ds to sel ect fonts: FONTSOURCE, FONTNUMBER, PITCH, PTSIZE, SYMSET, SET, DEFAULT. See “Ta ble 3-5: Common Variables for PCL Emulation” on page 3-48 for more information about these commands.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark C752

Your printer has 91 resident fonts in PCL emulation, including 89 scalable fonts and two bitmapped fonts.

Several parameters are used to select a font from the data stream. These include symbol set, spacing, point or pitch, styl e, weight, and typeface number. For scalable fonts, you can vary the size of a font by specifying pitch or point size. For bitmapped fonts , you must choose the pi tch or point size li sted on the font sample pa ges. You can print the font sample pages using a PJL command (see “LPRINTPCLFONTS” on page 3-83), from the printer operator panel , or through MarkVision Profes sional. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.

A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for each of these characters. Your printer supports 88 resident symbol sets. The tables beginning on page 2-21 show the symbol sets available for each font in PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all symbol sets.

You can select a font as the PCL emulation default from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional . Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.

The fonts are divided int o three major groups. The fi rst 47 f onts (R0 to R46) shown on the font sample pages are t he stand ard PCL emulation fonts. The next 39 fonts (R47 to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for Po stScript emulation, but now also wo rk in the PCL emulation. The final five f onts (R86 to R90) are additional specialty PCL fon ts. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-9 on page 2-16. For a list of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-10 on page 2-18. For a list of the five additional specialty PCL fonts, see Table 2-11 on page 2-20. These tables list both the forward and backward compatibi lity font selection commands. For more information on for ward and backward compatibility, see page 2-16. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-21.

For compatibility purposes, you can disable Type 1 fonts with the Printer Job Language (PJL) LTYPE1FONTS command. The factory default for these fonts is Enabled. See LTYPE1FONTS on page 3-47 for more information.

You can also select fonts using PJL commands . The selection parameter is the number portion from the font identifi er sho wn on t he font sample pages, such as 0 or 76 from font identifi ers R0 or R76. Use the PJL v a lues sho wn in the tables beginning

on page 2-21 to select a symbol set. If a symbol set does not have a PJL value, use the symbol set ID to select the symbol set. A f ont selection can be eit her temporary or set as the default.

Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark C752

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 w i t h the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.

Standard PCL Emulation Fonts

The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward compatibility mode for each of the 52 standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and bac k w ard compati bilit y modes are ident ical , they are listed together in the table.
