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

2-10

PCL

Normal setting

Legend:

PCL Logical Page 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.

Physical Page Border

PCL Printable Area

Only Portrait Orientation is shown for all settings.

Whole Page setting

For a more detailed explanation of the Normal setting, see “Printable Areas” on page 2-3.

2-11

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.

PCL

Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enab le a HewlettPac kard Company’s driver to select the forw ard compatibility f onts. The Le xmark PCL emulation driver uses the backwar d compatibility mode and temporarily switches the printer to this mode. The PCL (PJL) emulation commands to switch the default compatibility modes are:

Forward

Backward

Specialty PCL Fonts

The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward compatibility mode for each of the five specialty PCL emulation fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and bac k w ard compati bilit y modes ar e identical , they are listed together in the table. These fonts are supported only in PCL 5 emulation, not in PCL XL.
