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 determine which commands your print er supports, see Appendix A: “PCL Support” on page A-1.

PCL

Selecting PCL Emulation

Using SmartSwitch

When SmartSwitch is enabled for bo th printer languages on an interf ace (for example, Parallel, USB, Serial Op tion 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automatically swi tches to the printer language being sent by your softwar e program. 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 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 for 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

Print Area Menu Item

The printable area is the area on a sheet of paper within whi ch a pel can be printed. Logical page is a conceptual entity th at defines the area in which margins (top, b ottom,

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 opera tor panel or through MarkVision Professi onal. For some printers, Print Area suppor ts three values: Normal, Whole Page, and Fit to Page. See your printer documentation for more information.

PCL Printable Area

Only Portrait Orientation is shown for all settings.

Whole Page setting

The Normal setting, which is the factory default, means the printable area includes the entire page except the narrow border around the edge of the page. This is the nonprintable area. The printer me asures margin settings relative to the logical page.

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

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. However , the PCL language clips the i mage to the printable area. So, the Whole Page setting is useful for printing scanned i mages that extend from edge to edge of a page.

2-9

Some printers offer the Fit to Page setting. When Fit to Page is selected, PCL emulation or PostScript emulation for mats a page using a pr int able ar ea equal to t he physical page, which is from one edge of the page to the other edge of the page. If you use this setting, no cl ipping occurs. In Fit to Page, the PCL emul ation logical page dimensions are equal to the physical page dimensions , as in the Whole Page se tt ing.

The printer holds this f ormatted image in memory , but when the page prints, t he image is compressed a small amount in both horizontal and vertical directions, and then centered on the physical pa ge for let ter-siz e paper only. This process creates a small margin around the image. This artifi cial margin prevents pr inting 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 pa ge, and t he image is slightly compressed.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark 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, style, 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 pitch or point size listed on the font sample pages. You can

2-10

PCL

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 2-12 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 through MarkVision Professional (network models only). See your printer documentation for more information.

The fonts are divided into three maj or groups. The first 47 fonts (R0 to R46) shown on the font sample pages are the standard PCL emulation fonts. The next 39 fonts (R47 to R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation. The final five fonts (R86 to R90) are additional specialty PCL fonts. For a l ist of the 47 standa rd PCL emula tion fon ts, see Table 2-3 on page 2-11. For a li st of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-4 on page 2-13. For a list of t he five additional specialty PCL font s, see Table 2-8 on page 2-26. These tables list both the f orwar d and ba ckward compat ibil ity font sel ecti on c ommands. For more information on forward and backward compatibili ty, see page 2-11. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-22.

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 identi fier shown on the f ont sample pages, such as 0 or 76 from font identifiers R0 or R76. Use t he PJL v alue s shown in t he tabl es beginni ng on page 2-11 t o 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 font sel ection can be either temporary or set as the default.

Use the following PJL commands to select 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 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 compatibility with the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printer s.

Standard PCL Emulation Fonts

The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward compatibility mode for each of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font selection commands for the forward and back ward compatibilit y modes are identi cal, they are listed together in the table.
