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.
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 MarkVision™ Professional. Refer to your
printer user 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 Resource Save is set to On or the resources
are stored in flash memory or on disk.
The printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation (both portrait and landscape
orientation) are illustrated below. See the Legend that follows for definitions of areas
A through I.

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. Refer to your printer user documentation for more
information.
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.

Legend:

Normal setting
Whole Page setting
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.

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, 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 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 characters. Your printer supports 88 symbol sets. The tables beginning
on page 2-15 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 into three major groups. The first 47 fonts (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
PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation. The last five fonts (R86
through R90) include three different Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, OCR-A and OCR-B
fonts.
The fonts are further divided into font groups A, B, and C indicating which symbol sets
are supported by each font. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, as well
as the OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, see Table 2-4 on page 2-10. For a list of
the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-5 on page 2-13. Both tables list the forward and
backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for
each font. For more information on forward and backward compatibility, see
page 2-10. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-15.
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 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 2-15 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.
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 with 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 2-4 on page 2-10 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 the font selection commands for the forward and
backward compatibility modes are identical, they are listed together in the table. Most
fonts are assigned 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 2-4, and then see Table 2-6 on page 2-15 for
the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Type 1 Fonts
Thirty of the Type 1 fonts have different font selection parameters in the forward and
backward compatibility modes and 9 of the fonts work only in the forward compatibility
mode. With the appropriate printer driver installed and selected, your software
application selects these fonts.
The following table shows the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility modes and indicates the font group for each font. All Type 1 fonts are
supported by both the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050 and the
Lexmark family of printers unless otherwise noted.
To determine which symbol sets are supported by a particular font, find the font
group (A, B, or C) for the font in Table 2-5, and then see Table 2-6 on page 2-15 for
the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark
C510(n)
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 from the printer operator 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 characters. Your printer supports 88 symbol sets. The tables beginning
on page 2-15 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 printer operator panel or
through MarkVision Professional. Refer to your printer user documentation for more
information.
The fonts are divided into three major groups. The first 47 fonts (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
PostScript emulation, but now also work in the PCL emulation. The last five fonts (R86
through R90) include three different Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, OCR-A and OCR-B
fonts.
The fonts are further divided into font groups A, B, and C indicating which symbol sets
are supported by each font. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, as well
as the OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts, see Table 2-4 on page 2-10. For a list of
the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-5 on page 2-13. Both tables list the forward and
backward compatibility font selection commands and the font group (A, B, or C) for
each font. For more information on forward and backward compatibility, see
page 2-10. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-15.
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 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 2-15 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.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the Lexmark
C510(n)
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 printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts, OCR and Code 3 of 9 bar code fonts
Table 2-4 on page 2-10 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 the font selection commands for the forward and
backward compatibility modes are identical, they are listed together in the table. Most
fonts are assigned 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 2-4, and then see Table 2-6 on page 2-15 for
the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Type 1 Fonts
Thirty of the Type 1 fonts have different font selection parameters in the forward and
backward compatibility modes and 9 of the fonts work only in the forward compatibility
mode. With the appropriate printer driver installed and selected, your software
application selects these fonts.
The following table shows the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility modes and indicates the font group for each font. All Type 1 fonts are
supported by both the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050 and the
Lexmark family of printers unless otherwise noted.
To determine which symbol sets are supported by a particular font, find the font
group (A, B, or C) for the font in Table 2-5, and then see Table 2-6 on page 2-15 for
the symbol sets that belong to that group.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark E230,
E232
Your printer supports 19 fonts in PCL emulation, including 17 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. Print the font
sample pages to view the specific parameters for each font. 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).
A symbol set defines which characters are available for a font and the code point for
each of these characters. Your printer has 83 resident symbol sets. The tables
beginning on page 2-32 show the symbol sets available for each font in
PCL emulation. Not all fonts support all symbol sets.
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
18 from font identifiers R0 or R18. Use the PJL values shown in the tables beginning
on page 2-32 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.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the
Lexmark E230, E232
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 printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts
The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility mode for each of the 14 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.

Font and Symbol Set Support for the Lexmark
E234(n), E330, E332n
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). 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 characters. Your printer supports 88 resident symbol sets. The tables
beginning on page 2-43 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). Refer to your printer user 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 fonts. For a list of the 47 standard PCL emulation fonts, see
Table 2-20 on page 2-38. For a list of the 39 Type 1 fonts, see Table 2-21 on
page 2-40. For a list of the five additional specialty PCL fonts, see Table 2-22 on
page 2-42. These tables list both the forward and backward compatibility font
selection commands. For more information on forward and backward compatibility,
see page 2-38. For more information on selecting symbol sets, see page 2-43.
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 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 2-43 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.
Forward and Backward Compatibility Modes for the
Lexmark E234(n), E330, and E332n
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 printers.
Standard PCL Emulation Fonts
The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility mode for each of the 47standard PCL emulation fonts. Since the font
selection commands for the forward and backward compatibility modes are identical,
they are listed together in the table.

Type 1 Fonts
Thirty of the Type 1 fonts have different font selection parameters in the forward and
backward compatibility modes and 9 of the fonts work only in the forward compatibility
mode. With the appropriate printer driver installed and selected, your software
program selects these fonts.
The following table shows the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility modes and indicates the font group for each font. All Type 1 fonts are
supported by both the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050 and the
Lexmark family of printers unless otherwise noted.

2 This font is not implemented in the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050.
3 This font is not implemented in the Lexmark family of printers.
Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enable a
Hewlett-Packard Company’s driver to select the forward compatibility fonts. The
Lexmark PCL driver uses the backward compatibility mode and temporarily switches
the printer to this mode. The PCL (PJL) commands to switch the default compatibility
modes are:
Forward
ESC%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL6
@PJL RESET
ESC%-12345X
Backward
ESC%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL5
@PJL RESET
ESC%-12345X
Specialty PCL Fonts
The following table lists the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility mode for each of the five specialty PCL fonts. Since the font selection
commands for the forward and backward compatibility modes are identical, they are
listed together in the table.

This section introduces the different types of PCL emulation commands and their
structure, or syntax. It also demonstrates how you can link commands to abbreviate
them.
Control Codes
Control Codes are single-character instructions.
Commands
PCL commands are multibyte strings (also known as “escape sequences”) that begin
with the Escape control code (ESC, ←, decimal 27, or hexadecimal 1B). The ESC control
code notifies the printer that the characters that follow are to be interpreted as part of
a command and are not control codes or data to be printed.

Most PCL emulation commands have the following structure:
ESC & a # C
Spaces have been added to this example for readability. The command parameter
variables are indicated by a number sign (#).
Command Parameters
A command parameter sets the value for a command. This value stays constant until
either a different value resets the command or a command resets the printer to the
default values. For example, after the printer receives a command that selects a right
margin beginning at column 63, the right margin of each printed page begins at
column 63. That margin stays constant until a right margin command with a different
value resets it or until the printer is reset.
Parameters for each command are listed in the command tables beginning on
page 2-62. Use the Symbol Set Tables to determine the decimal or hexadecimal value
for each parameter. To determine a decimal or hex value, first locate the value of the
parameter you require in the Symbol Set Table. The decimal value is the value shown
in the bottom of the cell or box with that parameter. To find a hex value, go straight up
the grid from the desired parameter and read the value in the top heading. This is the
first character of the hex value. Next, go straight across the grid to the left of the
parameter and read the value in the left column heading. This is the second character
of the hex value. For example, ESC (←) is coded 1B in Hex and 27 in decimal. (Any one
of the three values ←, 1B, or 27 might be used in your application. Read your
documentation to determine which to use.) The example on the following page sets
the pitch of the primary font to 16.66 characters per inch.
Table 2-28: Description of Command Structure
Element
Description
ESC
Decimal 27 or hex 1B
&
Parameterized character from American National Standard Code for Information
Interchange (ASCII) table (range 33 to 47 decimal)
a
Group character from ASCII table (range 96 to 126 decimal) that specifies a group
type of control
#
Decimal character string value within specified numeric ranges; may be preceded by
a + or – sign and contain a decimal point
C
Termination character from ASCII table (range 64 to 94 decimal)
Decimal: 27 40 115 49 54 46 54 54 72
•
Hex: 1B 28 73 31 36 2E 36 36 48
Use the plus symbol (+) or the minus symbol (–) to select a position relative to the
current cursor position. For example:
ESC&a6C
Move to horizontal cursor position, column six
ESC&a+6C
Move six columns to the right of the current position
ESC&a-6C
Move six columns to the left of the current position
Linking Commands
You can combine PCL emulation commands by linking them if the first 3 bytes of the
commands are identical. The combined, short form sends the first 3 bytes only once
in the string. To combine commands:
•
Use the first 3 bytes (characters) of the command only once at the start of the
command string.
•
Make the last letter of each command in the string lowercase.
•
Capitalize the last letter of the string.
For example, notice that the first 3 bytes of these two commands are the same:
ESC(s10H
Select 10 characters per inch
ESC(s4099T
Select Courier typeface
To combine these two commands, use this form:
ESC(s10h4099T
which is 3 bytes shorter than the long form:
ESC(s10HESC(s4099T
You can combine more than two commands; for example, you can add Select Stroke
Weight Bold (ESC(s3B) to the previous two commands:
ESC(s10h3b4099T
or in the long form:
ESC(s10HESC(s3BESC(s4099T
PCL Emulation Commands
See the following tables for a listing of the commands grouped by function.
To determine which commands your printer supports, see “Table A-1: PCL Emulation
Commands” on page A-1.

Set Page Size
Selects the physical size of the paper, which also determines the
logical page dimensions. See the tables beginning on page 2-4 for the
paper and envelope dimensions your printer supports.
If the requested page size is not in the requested source or if no source
is requested, sources are checked for the requested size in the
following order: multipurpose feeder, tray 1, tray 2, tray 3, tray 4, tray 5,
and envelope feeder.
Notes:
•
When the printer receives the page size command, any partially
formatted pages are printed, and the cursor position and margins
are reset.
•
Duplex printing is not supported on any envelope.
•
The size loaded in the active source is checked to see if it matches
the requested size. If the multipurpose feeder is configured as
Cassette or Manual, the same applies; however, if the multipurpose
feeder is configured as First and media is loaded in the
multipurpose feeder, then, regardless of media size, it is the source
used until it is empty.

Raster Image Graphics
These commands utilize the raster area. Before sending data, set the presentation
mode, the resolution, the compression mode, the raster height and width, and start
raster graphics. These parameters are in effect until you overwrite them with a
different command or there is a printer reset.
To ensure that the printed image appears in the expected area, set width and height
parameters.
Raster Compression Mode
The Raster Compression Mode command determines how raster data is coded. It
affects the amount of code required to create an image, and the efficiency of image
printing.
