contains information needed for you to use the firmware features provided by your Kyocera Mita print system. Among these features is PRESCRIBE, a highly accessible, user-oriented command language that makes it easy for you to take full advantage of your printer's capability. PRESCRIBE includes an earlier command language and also allows you to: · · · · extensive manipulation of fonts and character code tables use the ability to draw objects by constructing and manipulating paths including ellipses and round boxes, etc. execute macros including carbon-copy macro control external optional units (paper feeders, etc.) You can access the features of PRESCRIBE from any of the printer's seven emulation modes. These modes include: · · · · · · · Hewlett-Packard LaserJet (PCL) emulation Hewlett-Packard HP 7550A (plotter) emulation IBM Proprinter X24E (24-pin dot matrix printer) emulation Epson LQ-850 (24-pin dot matrix printer) emulation Diablo 630 emulation generic line printer emulation KPDL (PostScript emulation) [an option on some models] Conventions italic is used for emphasis and also refers to a related chapter or section in this manual or another related document. fixed-pitch means text or commands that you must type exactly as it appears. This page is left blank intentionally. PRESCRIBE Command Reference PRESCRIBE Command Reference 1. Overview of PRESCRIBE Commands by Function The tables in this section list all the print system commands supported by the various models. Support for certain commands varies depending on the print system model. Access Commands These commands provide access in and out of PRESCRIBE mode. Command EXIT !R!

Normal text data is printed inside the margins, but the TEXT and RTEXT commands can be used to print character strings or graphics anywhere in the entire printable area of the page, regardless of the margin settings. There are several commands for setting margins, so it is possible to select the one that best suits the purpose at hand. Margin settings can be changed in the middle of a page. Note that the following limitations apply to the margin setting commands. · · · The right margin must be at least one space character to the right of the left margin. The bottom margin must be at least one line below the top margin. It is not possible to specify negative values as margin settings. For example, a right margin setting beyond the printable area's right edge would be brought back just inside the right edge of the printable area. In like manner, it is not possible to use a bottom margin setting that would place the bottom margin past the bottom edge of the printable area. An easy way to set the right and bottom margins to the very edge of the printable area is to use a large value such as 100 (centimeters). The margins and page orientation can be reset by using the RES command. Command SBM SLM SLPP SPL SPO SPW SRM STM Function Set Bottom Margin Set Left Margin Set Lines Per Page Set Page Length Set Page Orientation Set Page Width Set Right Margin Set Top Margin Page 245 288 291 301 303 307 309 319 Margins and page orientation are more fully explained in Section 1.3. of the Technical Reference manual. 3 PRESCRIBE Command Reference Text Spacing Commands These commands control the line spacing, character spacing, underline spacing, and underline thickness. The SLS and SLPI commands are used to set the line spacing. The SCS and SCPI commands are used to set the character spacing. These spacing settings may be changed even in the middle of a page. The table below lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the text spacing command parameters. If values outside of the above ranges are used, the command is ignored. If a value smaller than one dot is specified for the character spacing, it is interpreted as 0, which results in proportional spacing. Minimum value Line spacing 1 dot 0.01 cm 0.004 inch 1 dot 0.01 cm 0.004 inch Maximum value 2,047 dots 17.3 cm 6.8 inch 2,047 dots 17.3 cm 6.8 inch Default value 6 lpi 0.423 cm 0.167 inch 10 cpi 0.254 cm 0.1 inch Character spacing Using the font mode (FTMD command), the line spacing and character spacing can be set automatically when the bitmap fonts are selected. Refer to the sections on the FTMD and SFA commands for additional details. Command SCPI SCS SLPI SLS SULP Function Set Characters Per Inch Set Character Spacing Set Lines Per Inch Set Line Spacing Set UnderLine Parameters Page 257 262 290 293 327 Font Commands The font commands are used to select fonts. Fonts can be selected using substitute numbers instead of a font's specific number. It is also possible to change the attributes of fonts and print them in a unique style. Additionally, there are commands to download fonts to the print system from an external source, and to generate fonts.

Cursor Movement Commands These commands move the cursor to specific positions. Cursor movements can be established for absolute positions based on the margins, zero point positions based on the printable area, or relative positions based on the current cursor position. Cursor movement commands only change the position of the cursor. Also, the cursor may not be moved outside of the printable area (see MZP command). It is possible to store the cursor position in memory then to return to that position stored in memory. Command MAP MRP MRPA MZP RPP SCP Function Move to Absolute Position Move to Relative Position Move to Relative Position specified by Angle Move to Zero-relative Position Return to Previous Position Save Current Position Page 153 162 164 169 222 256 Vector Graphics Commands The commands below are used to create figures such as lines, circles, and rectangles, and to add shading, simply by adding parameters. It is possible to specify colors for all vector graphics. For details, see a color specific command such as SCOL. 5 PRESCRIBE Command Reference If an attempt is made to create figures outside of the printable area using these commands, the coordinates are adjusted automatically so that the figures print inside the printable area. As in the example below, this can produce printed results different from what is expected. Print settings according to command Actual printed result Printing extremely complex figures can exhaust print system memory. Downloadable fonts can be particularly taxing on print system memory, producing unexpected print results.

PRESCRIBE Commands In the command format descriptions below, the command is written in fixed-pitch CAPITAL letters. Parameters are indicated in lowercase italics. Optional parameters, which may be omitted, are enclosed in brackets [ ]. Three dots (...) mean that the preceding parameters may be repeated. Except for the initial !R!, PRESCRIBE commands may be written in lowercase letters if preferred. Example: !R! SFNT 'Helvetica'; EXIT; Refer to Chapter 1 of the Technical Reference manual for the discussion on how PRESCRIBE follows the rule regarding upper- and lowercase letters. The functions of some PRESCRIBE commands are duplicated by the panel keys. For example, the same status page can be printed by the STAT command or by pressing the panel keys. The User's Manual provides a full description of the control panel functions. Many PRESCRIBE commands can be embedded commands within word processing software. This support depends upon the emulation mode and the software. See Emulation of the Technical Reference manual. 11 PRESCRIBE Command Reference ACLI -- Add CoLor by Index COLOR Format ACLI index, color1, color2, color3; Parameters index: integer from 1 to 255 color1: value for red, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for lightness, number from 0.0 to 100.0, in L*a*b color space color2: value for green, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for red/green, number from 0.0 to 100.0, in L*a*b color space color3: value for blue, integer from 0 to 255, in RGB color space value for yellow/blue, number from 0.0 to 100.0, in L*a*b color space Function The ACLI command adds a color to the currently active palette. This command is ignored when the currently active palette is a simple color palette or the Pantone color palette. If an index number larger than the palette size is given, this command is also ignored. If a color is added to the existing index number, the current color for that index number is automatically replaced with the new color. To add a color in a palette, the following guidelines must be used depending on the color space used: For RGB color space, specify the values for red, green, and blue with an integer from 0 to 255, where 0 = 0% and 255 = 100%. Any value outside this range is rounded to the minimum or maximum value, namely 0 or 255. A fractional value beyond the decimal point is discarded. For L*a*b color space, specify relative values for the lightness, red/green, and yellow/ blue with a number from 0.0 to 100.0. Any value outside this range is rounded to the minimum or maximum value, namely 0.0 or 100.0. 12 ACLI File !R!

File See ALTB C on page 15. 14 ALTB C ALTB C -- [ALlocate TaBle] Convert character code Format ALTB C, table-id, source-character, target-character; Parameters table-id: number identifying the character table to convert the character, from 1 to 65535 source-character: character code before conversion: 1-byte code = 0 to 255; 2-byte code = 0 to 65533, or in hexadecimal notation ($xxxx). target-character: character code after conversion: 1-byte code = 0 to 255; 2-byte code = 0 to 65533, or in hexadecimal notation ($xxxx). Function The ALTB C command converts the character code given as source-character to the character code given as target-character in the user-defined character table. If the character table having the identical number already exists, the existing character table is replaced by the new character table. File In the example below, the character table number 56535 is generated by ALTB G, in which the character ``\ (backslash, character code 92)'' is replaced with the Euro currency symbol ``a (character code 186 for Roman-9 symbol set).'' !R!

If the table to be deleted is currently allocated to the resident font (see ALTB A), terminate the allocation by using ALTB R before deleting. It is possible to delete all userdefined character tables at once by using ALTB D, 0;. File See ALTB C on page 15. Related Commands ALTB A, ALTB R 16 ALTB E ALTB E -- Format [ALlocate TaBle] End defining combination characters ALTB E; Parameter None Function This command signals the end of defining combination characters in an already generated user-defined character table which was started by the ALTB S command. (page 20). The registered combined characters can be printed by specifying the character code which was assigned at the time of definition. Related Command ALTB S 17 PRESCRIBE Command Reference ALTB G -- [ALlocate TaBle] Generate user-defined table Format ALTB G, table-id, table-format; Parameters table-id: table ID number: 1 to 65535 table-format: 1 = 1-byte, character codes 0 to 255 2 = 2-byte, character codes 0 to 65533 Function The ALTB G command generates a user-defined table in either 1-byte or 2-byte format. If the same table ID number already exists, the format table is replaced with the newly generated table. 18 ALTB R ALTB R -- Format [ALlocate TaBle] Release user-defined character table ALTB R, table-id; Parameter table-id: number identifying the character table to be released Function The ALTB R command terminates the assignment of the user-defined character table for the current resident font. It is also possible to terminate the assignment of all userdefined character tables by using ALTB R, 0;. 19 PRESCRIBE Command Reference ALTB S -- Format [ALlocate TaBle] Start to define the combination character ALTB S, table-id, code[, width, height[[, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, [paint-mode]]]; Parameters table-id: number identifying the character table to define the combination character, from1 to 65535 code: character code for which the combination character is defined. 1-byte code = 0 to 255; 2-byte code = 0 to 65533, or in hexadecimal notation ($xxxx). width: overall width of the combined character, represented by number from 1 to 65535 in units where the width of the resident font character is 1000 height: overall height of the combined character, represented by number from 1 to 65535 in units where the height of the resident font character is 1000 x-coordinate: X coordinate of the reference point, integer value converted in reference to 1000 units y-coordinate: Y coordinate of the reference point, integer value converted in reference to 1000 units paint-mode: paint mode: 0 = normal (filled), non-zero = line width of outline character (stroked): 1 to 100 units Function This command starts to define the combination of characters by specifying the region and coordinates. The characters to combine in this region are registered using the ALTB T command (page 21). The ALTB S sequence is terminated by the ALTB E command. If the identical table number already exists, the existing character table is replaced with the new character table. 20 ALTB T ALTB T -- Format [ALlocate TaBle] define combined character by Table ALTB T, character-code, width, height, x-coordinate, y-coordinate; Parameters code: character code for which the combined character is defined, or hexadecimal notation ($xxxx), JIS code width: character width: the value from 1 to the character width specified by ALTB S (page 20) height: character height: the value from 1 to the character height specified by ALTB S (page 20) x-coordinate: X coordinate of the reference point, integer value calculated in 1000 unit basis y-coordinate: Y coordinate of the reference point, integer value calculated in 1000 unit basis Function This command defines the region in which to store the combination of characters within coordinates (0, 0) to (1000, 1000) by specifying a rectangular area and reference point for the characters. There are no restrictions on the number of characters to be combined. Example: Y (1000, 1000) (0, 0) 21 PRESCRIBE Command Reference File !R! res; unit c; SFNT 'TimesNewRoman', 48; ALTB G, 1000, 1; ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB ALTB A, S, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, E; 1000; 1000, 64, 1800, 1000; 77, 700, 700, 0, 700; CMNT M; 65, 700, 700, 630, 700; CMNT A; 85, 700, 700, 1050, 700; CMNT U; 73, 700, 700, 1570, 700; CMNT I; 36, 700, 700, 0, 0; CMNT $; 57, 700, 700, 400, 0; CMNT 9; 57, 700, 700, 800, 0; CMNT 9; 57, 700, 700, 1200, 0; CMNT 9; MZP 2, 4; SFNT 'TimesNewRoman',48; TEXT "HOLIDAYS!"; PAGE; EXIT; Printout 22 ALTF ALTF -- change to ALTernate Font Format ALTF alternate-number; Parameter alternate-number: a number from 0 to 47 Function The ALTF command changes the current font to a font designated by an alternate number. The actual font assigned to this alternate number is set by a previous SETF command. The alternate number can be a bitmap font number or a number specifically assigned to the scalable font using the SFNT command (See File on the next page). If no font has been assigned to the specified alternate number, the ALTF command has no effect: the font does not change. The ALTF command enables you to prepare a document using several fonts, without deciding in advance which specific fonts to use. For example, you could use ALTF 1 to designate plain text and ALTF 2 to designate italics, and allow the specific size and style of type to be determined by SETF commands at a later time. 23 PRESCRIBE Command Reference File !R!

It automatically executes the macro defined by a MCRO command each time a page is printed. For example, it would be used to print multiple copies of the same form, filled in with different text. The AMCR command closely resembles the CALL command; therefore, the user should refer to the section on the CALL command for further information. When the automatic macro is enabled using mode E, the following print system settings are saved and retained upon completion of the macro: font information, margins, cursor position, line spacing, character spacing, page orientation, unit of measurement, underline parameters, and fill pattern. When the automatic macro is enabled with mode T, the print system settings are modified according to the parameter settings contained in the macro. Color specifications may be used within macros. When an auto-macro (AMCR) is executed, the active palette and color index number are saved and restored after the macro has executed. The automatic macro remains enabled until the AMCR command with the mode set to D is encountered or the print system is switched off. Note that mode D requires no other parameters such as repeat-count. The following commands are invalid within a macro: ASTK, PSRC, CCPY, DUPX, DXPG, JOBD, JOBL, JOBO, JOBP, JOBS, JOBT, JOG, LDFC, LDFN, MID, MSTK, RDMP, SEM, SPSZ, SSTK, STAK, STAT, STPL, VMAL, VMPW 25 PRESCRIBE Command Reference File !R!

It draws a filled-in arc-shaped area extending from the inner radius to the outer radius, and from the starting angle to the ending angle. The area is filled with the pattern designated by the previous PAT, FPAT, or GPAT command. The starting and ending angles are specified in integer degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. (Note that the PARC command measures the angles from the positive x axis.) The cursor is located at the center of curvature of the arc, and does not move. If the inner radius is zero, the area has a pie-slice shape, and can be used to fill in one sector of a pie chart. If the inner and outer radii are nearly equal and the fill pattern is the all-black pattern (PAT 1, for example), the result is a line arc. The line thickness is the difference between the two radii, rather than the value designated by the SPD (set pen diameter) command. The ARC command does not draw the boundary of the filled-in area. 27 PRESCRIBE Command Reference File !R!

The external characters should be generated and downloaded in the print system as an external font by using the LDFC or LDFN command. For the print systems supporting 2-byte font system, if the user-defined font is a 1-byte code font, it is assigned to the current resident roman (ANK) font. If it is a 2-byte code font, it is assigned to the current 2-byte font. This command has no effect if the resident font is a bitmap font and the font to be assigned is an outline font, or vice versa. mode = R is used to release the current resident font from the external characters. Note that it is necessary to release the external font assignment if you want to delete the external font. 30 ASTK ASTK -- Assign STacKer trays Format ASTK tray1, tray2, tray3, ...; Parameters tray1, tray2, tray3, ...: Number representing the tray in the optional sorter which becomes the last (bottom) tray in each group, as counted from the top towards the bottom tray. Function The ASTK command assigns the sorter trays in groups so that the sorter can be shared among the multiple users. Each parameter represents the last tray in each group of trays. The maximum number of parameters must be equal to the number of the trays the sorter is equipped with. By the factory default, the trays are grouped as the following table: Group 1 2 3 4 5 Equiv. ASTK command SO-6 1, 2 3, 4 5, 6 7, 8 9 to 15 ASTK 2, 4, 6, 8; Sorter model SO-30 1, 2 3, 4 5, 6 7, 8 9 ASTK 2, 4, 6, 8; SO-60 1, 2 3, 4 5 -- -- ASTK 2, 4; The ASTK command is ignored if parameters include the value greater than the actual number of trays. If the number of parameters is less than the maximum number of sorter trays, the print system automatically groups the remaining trays in one, making it the last group. For example, the command sequence ASTK 2, 4, 6; is equivalent to ASTK 2, 4, 6, (bottom tray number);. The tray group setting made by ASTK is stored indefinitely in the print system's permanent memory while the power is off, or until it is changed by another ASTK command. It is ignored in the normal sorter mode (FRPO S0, 0;) but the print system automatically sets up the previous tray group setting when the sorter is again switched to the multiple environment mode (FRPO S0, 1; or FRPO S0, 2;). 31 PRESCRIBE Command Reference File The following command sequence delivers print jobs to trays 4, 5, 6, and 7 (the second group). !R!

Booklet printing requires the hard disk to be installed in the print system. a = First page b = Last page a a b b The job to booklet-print must be defined using the JOBS command. Used together with the FOLD command, the paper can be folded in the middle to form a booklet. Booklet printing is possible for documents of A4, A5, B5, letter, or statement size documents and are automatically printed on double size paper, namely A3, A4-R, B4, ledger, or letter-R. The original page size must be specified by the SPSZ command, for example, SPSZ 8; for A4 page size. It is also possible to reduce the original page size by commanding the second parameter for SPSZ. For example, to print two A4 pages on a A4 sheet, command SPSZ 8, 5;. For details on page size, refer to the SPSZ command page in this manual. The document must have the same page size for all pages. If the double size paper for the document is not available in the print system, the print system ignores the BKLT command and prints in the original paper size. Duplex printing is also possible by adding the DUPX command. To correctly arrange two neighboring pages in line, shortedge binding duplex must be used by commanding DUPX 2;. The order of print pages can be selected by binding in either of the following manners: 35 PRESCRIBE Command Reference binding = 1, reading pages from left to right binding = 2, reading pages from right to left This command is not supported by some photocopier models. File The following command sequence prints a copy of a 12-page A4 document in booklet mode, folding the stack in the middle. The print system will require A4-R paper to be loaded. !R!
