CHAPTER 2: PCL Emulation
When you select PCL emulation as the printer language , the printer supports the Hewlett-Packard Companys 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.
To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: PCL Support.
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 y our software appl ication. The printer is shipped with SmartSwitch enabled for both printer languages in all interfaces. The printer examines all print jobs and switches dynamically between PostScript em ulation and PCL emulation.
Using the Operator Panel or MarkVision Professional
If SmartSwitch is set to Off for bot h 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.
Page 14
Using Your Software Application
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.

Print Area Menu Item
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.

Only Portrait Orientation shown for all settings
Whole Page setting
The Normal setting, which is t he factory def ault, means the printable area i ncludes 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.
For a more detailed explanation of the Normal setting, see Printable Areas on page 2-2.
Page 26
2-14
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 an ywhere 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.
PCL
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 o n 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.

Your printer supports 13 fonts in PCL emulation, including 12 scalable fonts and one 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 size. F or 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 from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
A symbol set defines which characters are availa ble for a font and the code point for each of these characters. The tables beginning on page 2-20 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 print er operator panel or through MarkVision. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
You can also select f onts using PJL commands. The selection para meter 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 2-20 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 Table 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 C720, C750, C910, T520, T52 2, T6 20, T622, W81 2, and W820
Your printer has 86 resident fonts in PCL emulation, including 84 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 from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
A symbol set defines which characters are availa ble for a font and the code point for each of these character s . Your print er suppo rts 83 symbol sets. The tab les beginning on page 2-34 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 print er operator panel or through MarkVision Professional . Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
The fonts are divided into two major groups. The first 47 fonts (R0 to R46) shown on the font sampl e pag es are t he standard PCL emulation fonts. The 39 remaini ng fonts (R47 to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originall y defined for PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation.
The fonts are f urther divided into f ont groups A, B , and C indicat ing which symbol set s are supported by each font. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-18 on page 2-29. For a list of the 39 Type 1 font s, see Table 2-19 on page 2-32. Both tables list the forward and backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for each font. For more information on forwar d and backward compatibilit y , see page 2-29. For more inf ormation on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-34.
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 inf ormation.
You can also select f onts using PJL commands. The selection para meter 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
Page 41
2-29
PCL
on page 2-34 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 Table 3-5: Common Variables for PCL Emulation on page 3-48 for more information about these commands.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark C720, C750, C910, T520, T522, T620, T622, W812, and W820
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 it h the Hewlett-Packard Companys LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts
Table 2-18 on page 2-29 lists the font sel ect ion commands for forward and backw ard compatibility mode for each of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and backward compatibilit y modes are identi cal, they are listed together in the table. Most fonts are assigned a font group indicating which symbol sets that font supports.
To determine which symbol sets are supported by a particular font, find the font group (A, B, or C) for the font in Tabl e 2-18, and then see Table 2-20 on page 2-34 for the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark T420
Your printer has 86 resident fonts in PCL emulation, including 84 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 from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
A symbol set defines which characters are availa ble for a font and the code point for each of these character s . Your print er suppo rts 83 symbol sets. The tab les beginning on page 2-44 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 print er operator panel or through MarkVision Professional . Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
The fonts are divided into two major groups. The first 47 fonts (R0 to R46) shown on the font sampl e pag es are t he standard PCL emulation fonts. The 39 remaini ng fonts (R47 to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originall y defined for PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation.
The fonts are f urther divided into f ont groups A, B , and C indicat ing which symbol set s are supported by each font. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-23 on page 2-39. For a list of the 39 Type 1 font s, see Table 2-24 on page 2-42. Both tables list the forward and backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for each font. For more information on forwar d and backward compatibilit y , see page 2-39. For more inf ormation on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-44.
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 inf ormation.
You can also select f onts using PJL commands. The selection para meter 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
Page 51
2-39
PCL
on page 2-44 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 Table 3-5: Common Variables for PCL Emulation on page 3-48 for more information about these commands.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark T420
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 it h the Hewlett-Packard Companys LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts
Table 2-23 on page 2-39 lists the font sel ect ion commands for forward and backw ard compatibility mode for each of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and backward compatibilit y modes are identi cal, they are listed together in the table. Most fonts are assigned a font group indicating which symbol sets that font supports.
To determine which symbol sets are supported by a particular font, find the font group (A, B, or C) for the font in Tabl e 2-23, and then see Table 2-25 on page 2-44 for the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark J110
The Lexmark J110 printer supports PCL 3 fonts including four 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 from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
A symbol set defines which characters are availa ble for a font and the code point for each of these characters. Your printer supports 19 symbol sets. The table beginning on 2-48 shows 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 print er operator panel or through MarkVision Professional . Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.
The Lexmark J110 def ault driver is a host based printing solution designed t o produce optimal performance f or printing. The data stream i s optimized to reduc e network load requirements. The driver can use all fonts installed on a Windows or Macintosh operating system.
The followi ng table lists the PCL fonts, and the avai lable point sizes and pitches for each font:

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 ab breviate them.
Control Codes
Control Codes are single-character instructions.
Table 2-30: Control Codes
Code Dec Hex Function Result
BS 8 08 Backspace Moves the cu rso r toward the left margin one horizontal s pac e 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 cursor to the same horizontal position 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
Commands
PCL commands are multibyte strings (also known as escape sequences ) that begin
ESC
with the Escape control code (
, , decimal 27, or h ex adecimal 1B). The
code notifies the printer that the cha racters that f ol lo w are to be int erpreted as part of a command and are not control codes or data to be printed.

Command Structure
Most PCL emulation commands have the following structure:

# Decimal character string v alue withi n spe cified nu meric ra nges; ma y be pre ceded b y
C Termination character from ASCII table (range 64 to 94 decimal)
Command Parameters
A command parameter sets the value for a command. This v alue st ays constant until either a differ ent value resets the command or a command resets the printer to the 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 different value resets it or until the printer is reset.
Paramet ers for each command are listed in the command tables beginning on page 2-53. Use the Symbol Set Tables to determine the decimal or hexa decimal value 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. Th e decimal v alue is the v alue sh own in the bottom of the cell or bo x wit h that par ameter. To find a hex value , go str aight up the grid from the desired paramet er and read the value in the top heading. This is 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 foll owing page sets the pitch of the primary font to 16.66 characters per inch.
a + or – sign and contain a decimal point
ESC
() is coded 1B in Hex and 27 in decimal. (Any one
, 1B, or 27 might be used in your application. Read your
Page 64
Example:
ESC
(s16.66H
Decimal: 27 40 115 49 54 46 54 54 72
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 example:
ESC
&a6C Move to horizon tal cursor position, column six
ESC
&a+6C Move six columns to the right of the current posi ti on
ESC
&a-6C Move six columns to the left of the current position
Linking Commands
2-52
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
which is 3 bytes shorter than the long form:
ESC
You can combine more than two commands; f or example, you can add Select Stroke Weight Bold (
(s10H
ESC
(s4099T

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.

Tagged Image File Format
TIFF Packbits contain a control byte (a signed number) that indicates 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
(Abs(Control)+1) times.
Example:
ESC
*p300x900Y |Move cursor to 1" x 3"
ESC
*b2M |Set compression to TIFF
ESC
*r1A |Start Raster Graphics at current position

Delta Row
2-82
PCL
Delta Row is a compressi on mode that i dentifies and transmits only those bytes different from the ones in a preceding row. The control byte consists of two parts:
High 3 bits: Number of bytes to replace +1 (1 to 8).
Low 5 bits: Offset from last un modified b yte (0- 30); i f the offset i s 31, the next
byte(s) is added to the offset until the next byte is not 255.
Example:
ESC
*p300x1200Y |Move cursor to 1" x 4"
ESC
*b3M |Set compression to Delta Row
ESC
*r1A |Start raster graph ic s at curr ent positi on

Adaptive Compression
Adaptive compression all ows the combined us e of compression methods 0 t hrough 3 (Uncoded, Run-Length Encoded, TIFF, and Delta Row). It also allows the printing of empty rows (all zeros) or duplicate rows.
The Transfer Raster Data command size includes all rows (scan lines).
Scan Mode and SizeH,L are three-byte primary control strings: CountH and
CountL.

Zlib
2-84
Zlib is a generic compression method. It refers to a standard for compression as well 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 b lo c ks . 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. Other 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 2-79 for more information.
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. Once the image is started (with a Transfer Raster Data command), no other commands are allo wed u ntil the entire image has been sent.

The follo wing example prints a Group 4 image file that is 256 bi ts wide and 9,645 byte s long:
ESC
*b1002M |Set Raster Compression to Group 4

*r256S |Define width of image in input bits
ESC
*r1A |Start Raster Graphics at current position
ESC
*b9645W |9,645 bytes of a Group 4 image
...[Group 4 image data]...
ESC
*rB |End Raster Graphics
All lines of data must be the same length. If the y are not, zeroes (0) must be added to attain the same length.
Note: If the uncompressed image extends beyond the logical page dimensions or
beyond the raster width specified in the Raster Width command (
ESC
*r#S), the
image is clipped at print time.
Additional Compression Modes
When the compression mode is 1008 (Lexmark Adaptive), TIFF word and double­word can be printed using compression scan modes 254 and 255 respectiv ely. This compression method sends a raster image as a bl ock of raster data.

Macros
2-86
PCL
When creating a macro, first assign it an ID number. If this number is identical to an existing macro ID in RAM, the old macro is deleted when you specify the Macro Control Start Definition. Next, start the macro definition, send the contents of the macro, and stop the macro definition.
Note: Although a macro may be called or executed from within another macro
(nesting), a macro cannot be defined within another macro definition. Each macro must be defined separately.
Example:
This example creates a macro to print the Wigit Corp . logo , then calls the logo macro in the body of a letter.

PJL
CHAPTER 3: Printer Job Language
Your printer supports complete Printer Job Language (PJL) commands, including certain commands that cause the printer to enter PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS).
To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix B: PJL Support.
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

Notes:
Paramet ers encl osed in squar e br ackets ([ ]) are optional and not requi red for
command execution.
The PJL interpreter requires uppercase for the @PJL prefix for all PJL
commands except the Uni versal Exit Language (UEL) command. The rest of the PJL command is not case sensitive. The UEL command is case sensitive.
All PJL commands except UEL must be terminated with a l ine feed character
(<LF>).
Kernel Commands

PJL
UNIVERSAL EXIT LANGUAGE Command
The Universal Exit Language (UEL) command terminates the current printer language and allows dynamic switching into PJL.
Syntax:
<ESC>%-12345X
Notes:
If the printer receives this command while in PCL emulation, it performs a
ESC
Printer Language Reset (
If the printer receives this command while in PostScript emulation, it performs
an End-of-Job (EOJ) command before exiting PostScript emulation (Ctrl-D).
The PJL commands must immediately follow the UEL command (that is, the UEL syntax must be immediately fol lowed by the
E) before exiting PCL emulation.
