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.

The printable area is the area on a sheet of paper within which a pel can be printed. Logical page is a conceptual entity that defi nes the area in which margins (top , bottom,
left, right) may be set and the area in which the PCL cursor may be positioned. The physical page border is the actual physical boundaries of a page. The
Print Area menu item is available from the printer operator panel or through
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

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 Companys
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.

Command Structure

This section introduces the different types of PCL emulation commands and their structure, or syntax. It also demonstrates how you can link commands to abbreviate them.

Control Codes

Control Codes are single-character instructions.
Table 2-16: Control Codes
Code Dec Hex Function Result
BS 8 08 Backspace Moves the cursor toward the left margin one horizontal space equal to
the last printed character HT 9 09 Horizontal Tab Moves the cursor to the next defined tab stop LF 10 0A Line Feed Advances the cu rso r to the s am e horiz o ntal pos iti on on the following line
as determined by either the Vertical Motion Index (VMI) or Set Line
Spacing command FF 12 0C Form Feed Advances the cursor to the same horizontal position at the top margin of
the next page CR 13 0D Carriage Return Moves the cursor to the left margin SP 32 20 Space Moves the cursor to the right one column SI 15 0F Primary Font Selects the primary font SO 14 0E Secondary Font Selects the secondary font

Command Parameters
A command parameter sets the value f or a c ommand. Thi s value stays const ant until either a differ ent value resets the command or a command resets the printer to th e default v alues . F or e x ample , after the printer re ceiv es a command that select s a right margin beginning at column 63, the right margin of each printed page begins at column 63. That margin sta ys constant until a right margin command with a differ ent value resets it or until the printer is reset.
Paramet ers for each command are listed in the command tables beginning on page 2-40. Use the Symbol Set Tables to determine the decimal or hexadecimal v alue for each par ameter. To determine a decimal or hex value, first locate the value of the parameter you requi re in the Symbol Set Table. The decimal v alue is th e value sh own in the bottom of the cell or bo x wit h that par ameter. To find a hex v alue , go str aight up the grid from the desired paramet er and read the value in the top heading . This i s the first character of the hex value. Next, go straight across the grid to the left of the parameter and read the v alue in the left column heading. This is the seco nd character of the hex v alue. F or e xample, of the three values documentation to determine which to use.) The example on the following page sets the pitch of the primary font to 16.66 characters per inch.

Hex: 1B 28 73 31 36 2E 36 36 48
Use the plus symbol (+) or the minus symbol (–) to select a position relative to the current cursor position. For examp le:
ESC
&a6C Move to horizontal cursor position, column si x
ESC
&a+6C Move six columns to the right of the current position
ESC
&a-6C Move six columns to the left of the current position
Linking Commands
2-39
PCL
You can combine PCL emulation commands by linking them if the first 3 bytes of the commands are identical. The combined, short form sends the first 3 bytes only once in the string. To combine commands:
Use the first 3 byt es (char acters) of the command onl y once at t he start of the
command string.
Make the last letter of each command in the string lowercase.
Capitalize the last letter of the string.
For example, notice that the first 3 bytes of these two commands are the same:
ESC
(s10H Select 10 characters per inch
ESC
(s4099T Select Courier typeface
To combine these two commands, use this form:
ESC
(s10h4099T

Set Page Size
Selects the physical size of the paper, which also determines the logical page dimensions. See the tables beginning on page 2-4 for the paper and envelope dimensions your printer supports.
If the requested pa ge siz e is no t in the requested source o r if no so urce is requested, sources are checked for the requested size in the following order: multipurpose f eeder, tray 1, tray 2, tray 3, tray 4, tray 5, and envelope feeder.
Notes:
When the printer receives the page size command, any partially formatted pages are printed, and the cursor position and margins are reset.
Duplex printing is not supported on any envelope.
The size loaded in the active source is checked to see if it matches
the requested size. If the multipurpose feeder is configured as Cassette or Manual, the same applies; however, if the multipurpose feeder is configured as First and media is loaded in the multipurpose feeder, then, regardless of media size, it is the source used until it is empty.
Paper Source
Selects the paper feed source. Note: If the paper source is changed for the back of a duplexed page,
a blank back page prints, the paper source changes, and the information f or the b ack side of t he page i s printed on the fron t side of a page sent from the new paper source.

Raster Image Graphics

These commands utilize the raster area. Before sending data, set the presentation mode, the resolution, the compression mode, the raster height and width, and start raster graphi cs. These parameters are in ef fect until y ou overwrite them with a diff erent command or there is a printer reset.
To ensure that the printed image appears in the expected area, set width and height parameters.

Tagged Image File Format
TIFF Packbits contain a control byte (a signed number) that indi cates whether the raster data bytes are to be repeated (up to 127 times) or printed as encoded data.
For control values of 0 through 127, the next (Control+1) byte(s) is uncoded.
For control values of -1 through -127 ('FF'x - '81'x), the next byte is repeated

Zlib
2-71
Zlib is a generic compression method. It refers to a standard f or compr ession as w el l as the library that implements the standard.
The zlib compression method uses the deflate al gorithm. This same algorithm is used by more widely known co mp ression utilities such as PKZIP and GZIP.
Compressed data is a series of variably-sized blocks. An encoder determines ho w to break the data into bloc ks and finds the best compression method to use for each block.
An encoder works based on the fol lowing principles. The encode r creates a dictionary containing different characters in a set of data. Short strings of bits represent more commonly occurring characters, and long strings of bits represent less frequently used characters . A pro babi lity tr ee de termines which char acte rs are fr equent ly used. Repeated patterns in a string of characters are identified and stored, so the string doesnt have to be stored multiple times.
PCL
A three-bit zlib header is added to the beginning of a block to describe the type of compression used and indicates whether the block is a final block. Ot her information in the header includes checksums, compression algorithm used, and the level of compression. In compress ion all check sums are set to z ero and in decompressi on the checksums are ignored.
The memory required for zlib compre ssi on and decompres si on is i ndependent of t he size of the data to be compressed or decompressed.
The number 999 does not conflict with other compression types, so it is used to represent zlib compression. See page 2-66 for more inf o rmation.
Group 3 and Group 4 Raster Compression
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
ESC
command ( Transfer Raster Data command is 32K bytes. Images larger than 32K bytes must be broken up and sent using multiple commands. It does not matter where the image is broken, or how many Transfer Raster Data commands are used.

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. The following character codes are used throughout the chapter to illustrate the syntax of each PJL command.
Table 3-1: PJL Command Notation
Character Code
<ESC> Escape Character 0x1B 27 <LF> Line Feed Character 0x0A 10 <CR> Carriage Return Character 0x0D 13 <FF> Form Feed Character 0x0C 12 <HT> Horizontal Tab 0x09 9 <UEL> Universal Exit Language 0x1B 25 2D 31
Description Hex Code Decimal Code

Notes:
Parameters enclos ed in squar e brackets ([ ]) are opt iona l and not required for command execution.
The PJL interpreter requires uppercase for the mands except the Universal Exit Language (UEL) command. The rest of t he PJL command is not case sensitive . The UEL command is case sensitive.
All PJL commands except UEL must be terminated with a line feed char­acter (<LF>).

UNIVERSAL EXIT LANGUAGE Command
The Universal Exit Language (UEL) command terminates the current printer language and allows dynamic switching into PJL.
Syntax:

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 is PCL, PCL3, PCLXL, PostScript, or PPDS.
You can use uppercase, lower case, or mix ed case . (@PJL must be uppercase ;
all others can be mixed or lowercase.)
Example:
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PostScript[<CR>]<LF>
enters PostScript emulation.
COMMENT Command
This command lets you add descriptive comments to your PJL job.
Syntax:
@PJL COMMENT words[<CR>]<LF>
Notes:
When the printer receives this command, it is ignored.
The words parameter can be any combination of printable characters,
spaces, and horizontal tabs.
The COMMENT command is terminated by the line feed character (<LF>).

Job Separation Commands

Your printer supports the PJL JOB and EOJ commands. When the printer receives a JOB command, the print timeout is multipli ed by 10; when the printer receives a PJL EOJ command, the print timeout is reset to the user default. The appears on the printer operator panel displa y or through MarkVision Prof essional until an EOJ command is received or until the print timeout expires.
Your printer also supports the PASSWORD parameter for the PJL JOB command.
JOB Command
3-4
PJL
Waiting message
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:
Provide a job name (the name displa ys on the printer operator panel or
through MarkVision Professional).
Indicate which pages of the job should be printed.
Monitor the job status as it prints.
Syntax:
@PJL JOB [NAME = "job name"] [START = first page] [END = last page] [PASSWORD = number][<CR>]<LF>
Notes:
The JOB command should only be used in conjunction with the EOJ
command.
After receiving a JOB command, the printer does not process a UEL
command as a PJL job boundary until it receives the corresponding EOJ. Instead, UELs occurring within a JOB/EOJ pair are processed as printer
ESC
language resets (for example, PCL
E).

Parameters:
NAME = "job name"
Use the NAME parameter to assign a character string name to a particular job. The name may be any combination of printable char ac ters , spaces or horiz ontal tabs up to a maximum of 80 characters, spaces, or tabs. The enclosed in double quotes, as indicated by the command syntax.
START = first page
Use the START parameter in conjunction with the END parameter to skip the printing of a particular portion of the job. The emulator discards pages of a job until the page specified by this parameter is reached. The from 1 to 2,147,483,647. Omission of the START parameter causes the printer to start printing with page 1 of the job.

END = last page
Use the END parameter in conjunction with the START parameter t o skip the printing of a particular portion of the job. The emulator discar ds all pages of a job after the to page 1 of the print job and its range is from 1 to 2,147,483,647. Omissi on 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. With a PJL password declared, the PASSWORD parameter with the correct PASSWORD number must be specified in order to modify the default printer environment.
A PJL JOB command with the correct PASSWORD must be issued before any PJL command can modify an NVRAM setting. The PJL EOJ command terminates the job and disables any further modification of NVRAM. If a PJL password is declar ed and the wrong PASSWORD number is specified on the PJL JOB command, the printer will dela y one half of a sec ond bef ore pro cessing the next command.

For detailed information on PJL password protection, see File and Device Protection Commands on page 3-93.
Note: Setting a default PJL password disables the use of PJL DEFAULT and
INITIALIZE commands. (See DEFAULT Command on page 3-8 and INITIALIZE Command on page 3-11.)
EOJ Command
The EOJ command signifies the end of a print job.
Syntax:
@PJL EOJ [NAME = "job name"][<CR>]<LF>
Note:
Only use the EOJ command in conjunction with the JOB command.
Parameter:
NAME = "job name"
Use the NAME parameter to assign a character string name to a particular job. The name may be any combination of printable char acters, spaces, or horizont al tabs up to a maximum of 80 characters, spaces, or tabs. The NAME string may be different fr om the NAME st ring specifie d in the JOB command. The must be enclosed in double quotes.
