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.

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.

Legend:

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 X422

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 from the MFP control panel, using a PJL command (see “LPRINTPCLFONTS” on page 3-83.) or through MarkVision Professional. 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 character s . Your printer supports 88 symbol sets . The tab les begi nning 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 default from the MFP control panel or through MarkVision Professional . Refer to your printer user documentation for more information.

The fonts are divided int o three major groups. The first 47 f onts (R0 through R46) shown on the font sample pages are the standard PCL emulation fonts. The next 39 fonts (R47 through R85) are called Type 1 fonts and were originally defined for Post Script emulation, but now also work in the PCL em ulation. The last fiv e fon ts (R86 through R90) include three different Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, OCR-A and OCR-B fonts.

The fonts are f urther divided into f ont groups A, B , and C indicat ing which symbol set s are supported by each fo nt. For a list of the 47 s tand ard PCL em ulati on fonts, as w ell as the OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, see Table 2-3 on page 2-9. For a list of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-4 on page 2-12. Both tables list the forward and backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for each font. F or more inf ormation on for ward and backw ard compatibili ty, see page 2-9. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-14.

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.

2-9

PCL

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 on page 2-14 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 X422

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 w i t h the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 5 and the Lexmark family of printers.

Standard PCL Emulation Fonts, OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts

Table 2-3 on page 2-9 lists the font selection commands for forward and backward compatibility mode for each of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, the OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts. Since t he font selection commands f o r the forward and backward compati bility modes are i dentical, the y are list ed together in the tab le . Most fonts are assig ned 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 Table 2-3, and then see T able 2-5 on page 2-14 for the symbol sets that belong to that group.
