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 lan guages on an interf ace (f or example ,
Paral lel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer aut omatically 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. See your printer
documentation f or 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.

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. See your printer documentation for more information
.

Area
The Normal setting, which is t he factory def ault, means the printab le 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.

For a more detailed explanation of the Normal setting, see “Printable Areas” on

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 dimensions. 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 fr om 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 only. 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.

PCL
Font and Symbol Set Support for th e Lexmark T430,
T430d, T430dn, T640, T642, and T644
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 pages. You can
print the font sample pages using a PJL command (see “LPRINTPCLFONTS” on
page 3-83.), or through MarkVision Professional (network models only). See your
printer 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 2-14 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 def ault through MarkVision Professional
(network models only). See your printer 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 ne xt 39 fonts (R47
to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for PostScript emulation,
but now also work in the PCL emul ation. The final five f onts (R86 to R90) are additional
specialty PCL emulation fonts. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see
Table 2-4 on page 2-13. For a list of the 39 Type 1 f ont s, see Table 2-5 on page 2-15.
For a list of the five additional specialty PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-13 on
page 2-46. These tables list both the f orward and backward compatibi lity font selection
commands. F or more information on forward and backward compatib ility, see
page 2-13. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-41.
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 3-48 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
2-13
on page 2-13 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 following PJL commands 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 T430, T430d, T430dn, T640, T642, and T644
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 compatibilit y w it h the
Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.

Commands
PCL emulation commands are multib yte strings (also known as “escape sequences”)
that begin with the Escape cont rol code (
ESC
control code notifies the printer that the char acters that f ollow ar e to be interpreted
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:

Command Parameters
A command parameter sets the value f or a c ommand. Thi s value stays const ant unti l
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

(← ) is coded 1B in He x and 27 in decima l. (Any o ne
of the three values ← , 1B, or 27 might be used in your application. Read your
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.
Example:

• 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
&a+6CMove six columns to the right of the current position
ESC
&a-6CMove six columns to the left of the current position
Linking Commands
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 the st art of the
• 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 b ytes of these two commands are the same:

To combine these two commands, use this form:

Set Page Size
Selects the physical size of the paper, which also determines the
logical page dimensions. See the tables beginning on page 2-6 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, tra y 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.
Set Universal Width
Sets the width of the Universal size in decipoints.
Set Universal Height
Sets the height of the Universal size in decipoints.
Sets the feed direction of Universal size. Feed direction means which
side of the print media, either the short edge or the long edge, feeds
through the printer first.
Set Universal Custom Name
Sets the user-specified custom name for the Universal paper size
being used.
Select Orientation
Specifies the position of the logical page with respect to the physical
page.
Note: This setting resets margin s, the number of printable lines per
page, and the cursor position.
Print Direction
Rotates the coordinate system counter-clockwise in 90° increments
with respect to the current orientation.
Note: Margins are not rotated or cleared.
Character Text Path Direction
Vertically rotates text for use in vertical writing, such as printing
Japanese text.
Set Left Margin
Sets the left margin to the left edge of the designated column.
Note: The colu mn widt h i s defined b y the sp ace char a cter of the ac tiv e
font and the Horizontal Motion Index (HMI).
Set Right Margin
Sets the right margin to the right edge of the designated column.
Note: The colu mn widt h i s defined b y the sp ace char a cter of the ac tiv e
font and the HMI.
Clears left and right margins.
Set Top Margin
Sets the number of lines betw een the top of the physical page and firs t
line of print. Line height is determined by the current Vertical Motion
Index (VMI) and/or line spacing value.
Note: Setting a top margin of 0 results in the first line of text falling
outside of the printable area.
This command is parsed and ignored.
