General Product Information
Send Once, RIP
Once, Print Many
The base printer is configured with 8 MB flash memory and 16 MB of DRAM,
which is sufficien t to print most jobs . The printer uses the available memory to
store all of the compres s ed Rasterized Imag ed Pr ocessed (RIPped) jobs to
support the “Sen d Once , RIP Once , Pr int Many” capabilities when printing
collated sets. This productivity feature allows subsequent copies of a multiple set
job to print at rate d sp eed.
Additional memory or the hard disk drive option may be needed to handle
collated set s of large and/ or compl ex job s. When th e har d disk opt ion is in stal le d,
even very large collated sets can be accommodated.
Using the hard disk drive, the printer utilizes the “Intelligent RI P Once” feature.
First, the printer will determine if the job will fit into the available memory.
• If the job will fit into memory, the printer will RIP the job and print the
requested num ber of collated sets from the processed data in memory.
• If the job does not fit into available memor y, the printe r will RIP the job a nd
store it on the hard disk. Collated sets are ima g ed f rom the processed data on
the disk.
When the hard disk is not in st alled, and there is insufficient memory for the
printer to handle the entire job, th en the printer will process the job “chunk-bychunk”. The syste m wil l print as much of the job as it can hand le at once. For
example, if a job is 50 pages long, and av ailable memory ca n st ore the first 35
pages, the system will print the first 35 pages of every set. The system will then
print the remaining 15 pages of every set.
PDL Support
The Print Description Languages tha t are standard on the printer are PCL5e,
PCL6 (XL), and Adobe PostScript 3.
The PostScript 3 inte rpre ter is tr ue Adobe PostScri pt 3. The PCL in terpret er is an

<ESC>&n8W<HEX’05’>a_macro<CR,LF> Associates the current macro ID with the supplied
string ID
<ESC>&f2x<CR,LF> Executes this macro

Notes:
• The macr o I D must be the sam e case as in the origina l d ownload command.
• The byte count (after th e “n ” and before the “W”) must equal the ID byte

The followi ng is a sequence of commands that can be s ent to the printer to
download a font to the disk.
<ESC>%-12345X @PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BIN ARY NAME =”0:\pcl\ f onts\font1” SIZE=XX<CR><LF>
<binary data><ESC>%-12345X
In this example:
• <ESC>%-12345X is the PJL UEL command which star ts this sequence.
• @PJL<CR><LF> is the mandatory PJL command following the UEL
command.
• @PJL FSDOWNLOAD... downloads a font named “font1” that is “XX”
bytes in size.
• <ESC>%-12345X is the UEL command which ends this se quence.
• Invoking this font requires the following PCL sequence:
<ESC>&n6W<HEX’00’>font2< CR,LF> Sets the current font ID to the given string ID
“font2”
<ESC>&n6W<HEX’01’>font 1<C R,LF> Associa tes the current font ID with the string
ID “font1”
<ESC>&n6W<HEX’02’>font 1<C R,LF> Selects the font referred to as “font1 ” for the
primary fo nt
Notes:
• The case of the strin g ID must be the sa me as the case of the fontname in the
FSDOWNLOAD command.
• The byte count (“6” in the above example) must equa l the string ID byte
count plus 1.

Creating Proof
Jobs
The followi ng discussion of the Creating Proof Jobs replaces the discussion
Chapter 5 of your
System Administr ator Guide
.
Proof printing lets you print a single copy of a m ultiple copy job. You assign a
password and copy count at your workstation or computer before printing. The
first set is printed immediately . You can then go to the printer and proofread
(proof) the f irs t set. Depending on the outcome of the proofing, you ca n then
decide eith er to continue printing the sets or to delet e the job after ente ring your
password on the Pr inter Control Panel.
Proof jobs, if not sent by a driver with the proof job feature, may be invoked in
both PCL and PostScript by preceding the job with the following PJL commands:
@PJL XPROOFJOB
@PJL XJOBPASSWORD = number
These com m an d s mu st b e immediat el y fol lowed by a stan d ar d P JL “JOB ”
command that includes the “jobname”.
The printer continues processing a ll subsequent data as part of the proof job of
name “jobname.” The pr oof job is stored with the name “jobn am e” and
associated with the password defined in the PJL XJOBPASSWORD command.
The proof job ends when the PJL End of Job command is received (i.e., @PJL
EOJ). The “EOJ” command should be followed by a UEL.

The job name is limited to 16 alphanumeric characters in the range ASCII 30
through ASCII 255, <SP> and <HT>. The password must contain four numeric
characters in the range ASCII 48 through AS CII 55. The printer assigns a default
job name if no name or a name with a syntax error is called out. The job name is
the name displayed on the Control Panel Password Menu when the associated
password is entered. If no password is assigned or there is a password syntax
error , the entire job is printed immediately and is not stored as a proof job.
The followi n g example creates a PCL proof job wit h t h e name “Sample”
associated with password 7777 requesting five c ollated sets.
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL XPROOF JOB
@PJL XJOBPASSWORD = 7777
@PJL JOB NA M E = "Sample"
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL
@PJL SET QTY = 5
...PCL fil e. ..
<ESC>%-012345X@PJL EOJ
<ESC>%-012345X.
