This chapter shows how to select PCL emulation and discusses PCL emulation commands, along with resident PCL emulation font and symbol set support. To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: "PCL Support" on page A-1. Selecting PCL Emulation Using SmartSwitch When SmartSwitch is enabled for both printer languages on an interface (for example, Parallel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automatically 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 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 MarkVisionTM Professional. See your printer documentation for information on changing menu settings. 2-2 PCL 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 Resource Save is set to On or the resources are stored in flash memory or on disk. 2-3 PCL Page Formatting The printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation (both portrait and landscape orientation) are illustrated below.

Paper ID 99 has the same logical paper size as ID 100 (compatible with HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx) but is 8 pels wider than the Lexmark 4039. Note: The explanation of the printable area assumes the Print Area menu item is set to Normal. For more information, see "Print Area Menu Item" on page 2-6. 2 Page 2-6 PCL 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 defines 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 . Normal setting Whole Page setting Legend: PCL Logical Page Area Physical Page Border PCL Printable Area Only Portrait Orientation is shown for all settings. 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 measures margin settings relative to the logical page. For a more detailed explanation of the Normal setting, see "Printable Areas" on page 2-3. 2-7 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. However, the PCL language clips the image to the printable area. So, the Whole Page setting is useful for printing scanned images that extend from edge to edge of a page. Some printers offer the Fit to Page setting. When Fit to Page is selected, PCL emulation or PostScript emulation formats a page using a printable area equal to the physical page, which is from one edge of the page to the other 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 setting. The printer holds this formatted image in memory, but when the page prints, the image is compressed a small amount in both horizontal and vertical directions, and then centered on the physical page for letter-size paper only. This process creates a small margin around the image. This artificial margin prevents 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 the edges of the printed page, and the image is slightly compressed. Physical Page Edge Formatted Image with Fit to Page Printed Image with Fit to Page 2-8 PCL Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark C520, C522n, C524, C524n, C524dn, C530dn, C532n, C532dn, C534n, C534dn, C534dtn, C770, C770n, C772, C772n, C920, C920n, C920dn, C920dnf 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 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 2-10 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 major 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 emulation fonts. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-2 on page 2-9. For a list of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-3 on page 2-11. For a list of the five additional specialty PCL emulation fonts, see Table 2-11 on page 2-43. These tables list both the forward and backward compatibility font selection commands. For more information on forward and backward compatibility, see page 2-9. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-38. 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. 2-9 PCL You can also select fonts using PJL commands. The selection parameter is the number portion from the font identifier shown on the font sample pages, such as 0 or 76 from font identifiers R0 or R76. Use the PJL values shown in the tables beginning on page 2-9 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 font selection 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.

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 printers. 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 backward compatibility modes are identical, they are listed together in the table.
