2-1 PCL 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.
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. See the Legend that follows for definitions of areas A through I.
2-4 PCL Lexmark C510(n) The following table lists page sizes and print area dimensions for all paper and envelope sizes the Lexmark C510(n) printer supports. For more information about the printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation, see “Printable Areas” on page 2-3.
2-5 PCL Lexmark X422 The following table lists page sizes and print area dimensions for all paper and envelope sizes the Lexmark X422 printer supports. For more information about the printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation, see “Printable Areas” on page 2-3. Table 2-2: Lexmark X422 Paper and Envelope Dimensions Selection Page Size Parm2 Paper/Envelope Dimensions Name mm Dimensions by Area (pels)1 inches A B C D E F G H I Paper 13, 613 A5 12, 45, 612 JIS B5 Paper 148 x 210 5.
2-6 PCL Lexmark E230, E232, E234(n), E330, E332n The following table lists page sizes and print area dimensions for all paper and envelope sizes the Lexmark E230, E232, E234(n), E330, and E332n printer supports. For more information about the printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation, see “Printable Areas” on page 2-3.
2-7 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.
2-8 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.
2-9 PCL 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.
2-10 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 2-15 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.

2-88 PCL 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.
2-89 PCL Descriptions and examples of the different parameters appear on the following pages. Each example draws the same square outline 64 bits (8 bytes) wide by 64 scan lines long. Uncoded Data Uncoded Data is not compressed. Only those bytes needed to form the image are sent. Each bit represents a single dot. In the first byte, bit 7 corresponds to the first dot in the raster row, bit 5 to the third dot, and so forth.
2-90 PCL Run-Length Encoded Data Run-Length Encoded Data is interpreted in pairs of bytes. The first byte: • • • • Acts as a counter, or control byte. Indicates how many times to repeat the data in the second byte. Can be from 0 (no repetition) to 255. The second byte is the data byte. Example: *p300x600Y *b1M ESC*r1A ESC *b2W '07FF'x ESC*b6W '0080 0500 0001'x ESC*b6W '0080 0500 0001'x ...
2-91 PCL Delta Row Delta Row is a compression mode that identifies and transmits only those bytes different from the ones in a preceding row. The control byte consists of two parts: • • High 3 bits: Number of bytes to replace +1 (1 to 8). Low 5 bits: Offset from last unmodified byte (0-30); if the offset is 31, the next byte(s) is added to the offset until the next byte is not 255. Example: *p300x1200Y *b3M ESC*r1A ESC ESC *b9W 'E0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x *b9W 'E08000000000000001'x ESC*b0W ...
2-92 PCL Adaptive Compression Adaptive compression allows the combined use of compression methods 0 through 3 (Uncoded, Run-Length Encoded, TIFF, and Delta Row). It also allows the printing of empty rows (all zeros) or duplicate rows. • • The Transfer Raster Data command size includes all rows (scan lines). Scan Mode and SizeH,L are three-byte primary control strings: CountH and CountL.
2-93 PCL Zlib Zlib is a generic compression method. It refers to a standard for compression as well as the library that implements the standard. The zlib compression method uses the deflate algorithm. This same algorithm is used by more widely known compression utilities such as PKZIP and GZIP. Compressed data is a series of variably-sized blocks. An encoder determines how to break the data into blocks and finds the best compression method to use for each block.
2-94 PCL The following example prints a Group 4 image file that is 256 bits wide and 9,645 bytes long: *b1002M *r256S ESC*r1A ESC *b9645W ...[Group 4 image data]... ESC*rB ESC ESC |Set Raster Compression to Group 4 |Define width of image in input bits |Start Raster Graphics at current position |9,645 bytes of a Group 4 image |End Raster Graphics All lines of data must be the same length. If they are not, zeroes (0) must be added to attain the same length.
2-95 PCL Macros When creating a macro, first assign it an ID number. If this number is identical to an existing macro ID in RAM, the old macro is deleted when you specify the Macro Control Start Definition. Next, start the macro definition, send the contents of the macro, and stop the macro definition. Note: Although a macro may be called or executed from within another macro (nesting), a macro cannot be defined within another macro definition. Each macro must be defined separately.
3-1 PJL CHAPTER 3: Printer Job Language Your printer supports complete Printer Job Language (PJL) commands, including certain commands that cause the printer to enter PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix B: “PJL Support” on page B-1. PJL Command Notation The syntax for each supported PJL command is listed in this chapter.
3-2 PJL Notes: • Parameters enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) are optional and not required for command execution. • The PJL interpreter requires uppercase for the @PJL prefix for all PJL commands except the Universal Exit Language (UEL) command. The rest of the PJL command is not case sensitive. The UEL command is case sensitive. • All PJL commands except UEL must be terminated with a line feed character ().
3-3 PJL ENTER LANGUAGE Command This command causes the printer to enter the specified language, such as PCL emulation, PostScript emulation, or PPDS. Syntax: @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = language[] Notes: • language is PCL, PCL3, PCLXL, PostScript, or PPDS. • You can use uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. (@PJL must be uppercase; all others can be mixed or lowercase.) Example: @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PostScript[] enters PostScript emulation.
3-4 PJL Job Separation Commands Your printer supports the PJL JOB and EOJ commands. When the printer receives a JOB command, the print timeout is multiplied by 10; when the printer receives a PJL EOJ command, the print timeout is reset to the user default. The Waiting message appears on the printer operator panel display or through MarkVision Professional until an EOJ command is received or until the print timeout expires. Your printer also supports the PASSWORD parameter for the PJL JOB command.
3-5 PJL Parameters: NAME = "job name" Use the NAME parameter to assign a character string name to a particular job. The name may be any combination of printable characters, spaces or horizontal tabs up to a maximum of 80 characters, spaces, or tabs. The job name must be enclosed in double quotes, as indicated by the command syntax. START = first page Use the START parameter in conjunction with the END parameter to skip the printing of a particular portion of the job.
3-6 PJL For detailed information on PJL password protection, see “File and Device Protection Commands” on page 3-93. Note: Setting a default PJL password disables the use of PJL DEFAULT and INITIALIZE commands. (See “DEFAULT Command” on page 3-8 and “INITIALIZE Command” on page 3-11.) EOJ Command The EOJ command signifies the end of a print job. Syntax: @PJL EOJ [NAME = "job name"][] Note: Only use the EOJ command in conjunction with the JOB command.
3-7 PJL Environment Commands and Variables This section describes the printer environment variables and the PJL commands used to modify or query the variables. Note: The word common applies to those variables common to both your printer and the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers. Table 3-2: Environment Variable Categories Categories Beginning on Page ...
3-8 PJL DEFAULT Command This command modifies the default setting for the specified environment variable and stores the setting in the printer NVRAM. The new setting is activated with the occurrence of the next PJL reset condition. Syntax: @PJL DEFAULT [command modifier:value] variable=value[] [command modifier:value] The [command modifier:value] parameter specifies the type of PJL variables to be modified. The variables supported are listed in the tables beginning on page 3-12.
3-9 PJL variable=value The supported variables and values are listed in the tables beginning on page 3-12. Note: Variables may be modified by the DEFAULT command, except those marked Read Only. Some variables may only be modified using the PJL SET command. These variables cannot be modified using the DEFAULT command. They are marked Set Only. SET Command This command modifies the current setting for the specified environment variable.
3-10 • PJL LRESOURCE:"device:filename.filetype" is required for LRESOURCE variables. (See “Table 3-9: Printer Unique LRESOURCE Variables” on page 3-53.) Values for "device:filename.filetype" are: device flash, flash1, disk, or disk1 (case insensitive) filename A unique identifier for a file, such as the macro ID for a PCL macro, the symbol set ID for a PCL symbol set, the font ID for a PCL font, and so on. The filename is case sensitive.
3-11 PJL INITIALIZE Command This command restores both the current and default environment variables to their factory default values and updates the printer NVRAM.
3-12 PJL Common Variables for Both Printer Languages Note: The word common applies to those variables common to both your printer and the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers. The following common variables are supported for both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation, unless otherwise noted. Therefore, the [command modifier:value] parameter should not be specified. To determine which variables your printer supports, see “Table B-1: Common Variables for Both Printer Languages” on page B-1.

3-93 PJL File and Device Protection Commands The following information applies to password protection. • You can set both read/write and write passwords for a resource. If both passwords are set, the read/write password has precedence over the write password. • If you attempt to password protect a non-existing resource, the PJL interpreter will return a warning (CODE = 25001).
3-94 PJL Syntax: @PJL DEFAULT LRESOURCE:"device:filename.filetype" LRWLOCK="password"[] @PJL DEFAULT LRESOURCE:"device:filename.filetype" LWLOCK="password"[] The filename used depends on whether you wish to put a password on a font or a macro. The filename for a font is a five digit ID from the print directory page (add zeros to the left of the ID to fill the five digits) followed by a three digit instance number.
3-95 PJL Unlocking a Protected File or Device Use the LDECLARE command to specify a password so a protected file or device may be accessed or “unlocked.” The LDECLARE command is only allowed within a JOB/ EOJ combination. LRWLOCK with LDECLARE specified unlocks a file or device for reading and writing. LWLOCK with LDECLARE specified unlocks a file or device for writing only. The file or device must be re-locked using the LDELETEPASSWORD command after the job is completed.
3-96 PJL Re-Locking a Protected File or Device Use the LDELETEPASSWORD command to re-lock a password-protected file or device that has been unlocked using the LDECLARE command. If an LRESOURCE is not specified, all unlocked files or devices are re-locked. Syntax: @PJL LDELETEPASSWORD [LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype"][] LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype" Values for "device:filename.
3-97 PJL Unlocking a Protected File or Device for the Current Job The file or device unlocked by the execution of this command is automatically re-locked upon execution of the EOJ command or by a printer language change. Syntax: @PJL LDECLARE LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype" LRWLOCKJ = "password"[] @PJL LDECLARE LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype" LWLOCKJ = "password"[] LRESOURCE : "device:filename.filetype" Values for "device:filename.
3-98 PJL Recovering Lost Passwords Use the LQUERYSEED and LBYPASSPASSWORD commands to recover lost passwords. Syntax: @PJL LQUERYSEED[] @PJL LBYPASSPASSWORD KEY = "key"[] Use the following steps to retrieve lost passwords: 1 Send the LQUERYSEED command to the printer by one of the host computer interfaces. This command causes a value, the “seed,” to display on the printer operator panel, through MarkVision Professional or, if there isn’t an LCD panel, to print on the Menu Settings Page.

Valid only if the ROM is mounted (mounted is set to True). A value of 0 (zero) indicates that either the ROM is not mounted or it is full. HasNames boolean (Read-only) Indicates if ROM supports named files.
4-106 PostScript Status and Error Messages Printers return PostScript emulation error messages and status information to the computer through any active interface. To send information to the computer through the parallel interface, configure the interface as bidirectional. Tagged Binary Not Active Your printer responds and processes a Ctrl-T (x'14') command as a status query when: • The PostScript emulation interpreter is processing a print job.
4-107 PostScript Status Messages Your printer responds to a Ctrl-T (x'14') status query on an interface by sending a one-line status message back to the host computer over the same interface. If the status query is received between print jobs and the printer is idle with no error conditions, an idle response is returned to the host computer. Status messages are bracketed by the characters %%[ and ]%%, so the computer software can extract them from other data generated by the current print job.
4-108 PostScript Unsolicited Messages You may receive unsolicited messages from your printer. Unsolicited messages use the same syntax as status messages. These messages are transmitted sequentially as ordinary data through the communication channel, with other characters written to a standard output file. These messages are bracketed with %%[ and ]%%. %%[ Error: error type; Offending Command: operator ]%% The interpreter has detected an error while executing operator and invoked handleerror.
5-1 Languages CHAPTER 5: Switching Languages Your printer may support both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation. Refer to your printer documentation for more information. This chapter describes ways to switch printer languages and explains when you may want to choose one method over another. SmartSwitch is provided with the printer to switch languages.
5-2 Languages Setting SmartSwitch for Different Interfaces You can customize your printer so that particular print jobs are sent to particular interfaces. For example, you may want to send all PostScript emulation jobs to the network interface and all PCL emulation jobs to the parallel interface. You can do so by choosing different languages for each interface from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional and setting the selected language to On for the interface you want.
5-3 Languages Sniffing Sniffing is: • Enabled when any End-of-Job point occurs. • Disabled when a SIC or PJL command within a valid printer language is received. The printer examines the received data stream, attempts to determine the type of data stream, and automatically switches to the proper language. The printer examines the active printer language and decides when an End-of-Job point occurs.
6-1 Memory CHAPTER 6: Flash Memory and Disk Flash memory and disk devices are used to store permanent fonts, macros, and symbol sets. The disk device is also used to buffer print jobs, collate large jobs, and store job statistics.
6-2 Memory Resource Data Collection (Download Target) Use the Resource Data Collection (Download Target) mode to save the following information to flash memory or disk: • • • • • Permanent bitmapped and scalable fonts for PCL emulation Permanent macros for PCL emulation macros Permanent symbol sets for PCL emulation Type 1 fonts for PostScript emulation Other PostScript resources Resource Data Collection can be turned On and Off by using: • The operator panel menus to select Download Target.
6-3 Memory Storing Resources on Flash Memory or Disk Complete the following steps to download resources to flash memory or disk using the printer operator panel, MarkVision Professional, or a PJL command. 1 Set the download target to flash memory or disk. Resource Data Collection mode is enabled to the device selected. 2 3 Download the resources to flash memory or disk using PCL emulation or PostScript emulation.
6-4 Memory Example of Directory The Directory that prints appears similar to the one below. An explanation of the parts of the Directory follows the example. Optional Font Memory Size 1048576 bytes Part Name: FLASH Part Number: (none) Write password protected ID Type Size Prot.
6-5 Memory Part Number Part Number as it is stored in the flash memory card header. If the flash memory is formatted by the printer, the part number field is shown as (none). The part number field for the disk is not printed. Write Password Protected Indicates the entire flash memory or disk is write-protected. If the device is read/write protected, "Read/Write password protected" is printed. If the device is write-protected, "Write protected" is printed.
6-6 Memory Type File types that can be stored on flash memory or disk have unique extensions. The following file types are recognized by the flash format used on earlier printer models; the name of the file type printed in the directory appears in parenthesis. .t1 (PostScript font) .sFnt5 (PCL scalable font) .bFnt5 (PCL bitmap font) .Mac5 (PCL macro) Except as noted below, file types listed above are recognized by the flash format used in your printer.
6-7 Memory Description The description field for fonts comes from the font header. The description field for macros or symbol sets is blank unless the description field in the file header is set by the PJL LRESOURCE command. See “Printer Unique LRESOURCE Variables” on page 3-52. The description for macros or symbol sets can be set only once for files stored in flash memory. The description can be set any number of times for macros or symbol sets stored on a disk.
6-8 Memory By using passwords, administrators can ensure data integrity and proper authorization. If flash memory is write password protected, for example, users cannot delete existing files, format the device, or download new files to the device (without first specifying the password). A specific example might be a macro file of an authorizing signature that is stored on flash memory with a Read/Write password. This password ensures that only those authorized can use the signature.
6-9 Memory Accessing Files with PostScript Emulation File Naming Conventions For any PostScript emulation operator that requires a filename parameter, the filename can be one of the following: %device%filename Specifically references a file on a particular device. If the filename does not exist on %device%, no other %device% is accessed for a duplicate filename. filename Does not specifically reference a device.
6-10 Memory Device names are case sensitive. They must appear exactly as shown. Each device (except the disk) has one synonym. For example, the flash memory can be referred to as %flash% or %flash1%. The name with the 1 is a unique identifier. This system allows for future expansion of multiple flash memory or disk devices. The disk device name provides for multiple physical units and multiple logical units.
6-11 Memory The value of this operator adds the extension .data to all filenames referenced when using PostScript emulation file operators. To prevent the .data extension from being added, issue the following PostScript emulation command: statusdict begin false setfilenameextend end To add the .data extension automatically again, issue: statusdict begin true setfilenameextend end The following example shows how to remove a file for the font myfont from the disk.
6-12 Memory Device Search Order If you are using the PostScript emulation operators run, file, renamefile, status or eexec, you do not need to specify the device. If you omit the device name, devices are searched in the default order: disk and then flash memory. If the following PostScript emulation code is encountered, (myfile) (w) file the file on disk is used (since disk occurs before flash memory in the default search order), and files cannot be created in ROM.
6-13 Memory Note: Do not leave the ROM device unmounted. All internal fonts are contained on the ROM device. In the previous examples, the devmount, devdismount operators must be used outside the server loop. We recommend that you place the requests in a stop context so that if the devices do not exist, error recovery can take place. Previous search orders are not retained. Once a change is made, it remains in effect.
6-14 Memory For minimum acceptable job buffering performance, the hard disk should be able to read and write files at a sustained rate of 600Kb/sec. The Lexmark hard disk option supports this requirement. Some advantages of job buffering include: • The printer accepts print jobs more quickly. • The printer accepts print jobs from all ports as long as the disk is not filled. • The printer continues to print even after the host computer, network connection, or printer server goes down.
6-15 Memory Disabling Job Buffering When you disable job buffering, it takes effect immediately on the port you disabled. A POR is automatically performed when job buffering is disabled for any port from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional, so the unused memory resources can be reallocated. When buffering is disabled on a port, any jobs on the disk are printed before normal processing of incoming jobs continues.

8-6 Interfaces Deciding Which Interface to Use On some printers, you can attach multiple interface cables to the printer at the same time. The printer automatically switches to the interface receiving a job. Then it prints the job and begins searching the interfaces for the next job. One or more of the following is built into your printer: standard parallel connector, USB connector, or network connector.
8-7 Interfaces Parallel Interface Use the Lexmark 3.04 m (10 ft) parallel cable part number 1329605, Lexmark 6.1 m (20 ft) parallel cable part number 1427498, or a cable that is IEEE 1284 compliant, to connect your printer to a personal computer or to a host system with a Centronicscompatible parallel port. Use the Lexmark 1.
8-8 Interfaces Standard Parallel Connector The standard IEEE 1284-B compliant parallel connector on the printer is a 36-pin D-shell female receptacle, as shown. 1 18 36 19 Optional Parallel Connector The optional IEEE 1284-C compliant parallel connector on the RS-232C Serial/Parallel 1284-C Interface Card or Parallel 1284-B Interface Card is a 36-pin D-shell female receptacle, as shown.
8-9 • Interfaces To prevent line noise, the cables should be shielded and connected to the chassis of both the computer and the printer. The parallel cable length should not exceed 3.04 m (10 ft), unless a Lexmark 6.1 m (20 ft) parallel cable is used.

8-11 Interfaces Using the INIT* Signal to Initialize When the printer is using the parallel interface and it receives an INIT* signal, it initializes as follows (unless INIT* is disabled by a variable default setting): • • • • It prints data received before INIT*, and then initializes. • • • The link buffer remains intact. • • INIT* is not honored when Hex Print is active. It returns variable defaults to the values stored in the user default settings.

However, the serial interface transfers data at a slower rate than the parallel interface.
8-26 Interfaces When using the serial interface, your printer has the following differences from the serial interface on some other printers: • • The printer returns XON/XOFF with 2 stop bits in all cases. The printer does not support DTR inversion. Using the RS-232C Serial Interface This section describes how to use the RS-232C serial interface. If you are using RS-422, see “Using the RS-422 Serial Interface” on page 8-36.
8-27 Interfaces Table 8-4: Dedicated Serial Connector Pin Assignments (RS-232C) (Continued) Pin Signal Direction Description 4 RTS Out Request to Send. The printer sets this signal high and the signal remains high while the printer is on. 5 CTS In Clear to Send. This pin is optionally used for serial data flow control protocol when in serial mode. 6 DSR In Data Set Ready.
8-28 Interfaces Using an IBM-Compatible Personal Computer with Serial Interface RS-232C Note: These instructions are for connecting the printer to an IBM-compatible personal computer using a dual asynchronous adapter or an external print server. If you are using any of the above products, or if your computer has a 9-pin D shell connector that conforms to the IBM designed 9-pin serial port, use a 9-pin to 25-pin cable, such as IBM Part Number 6450242 (254 mm or 10 in.).
8-29 Interfaces Serial Communication Parameters (RS-232C) The following paragraphs show acceptable values for serial communication parameters. Voltage Level Range The maximum voltage level for control lines or data lines is +/- 25 positive V dc and +/- 25 negative V dc. A timing or control line is active if the voltage is more than +3 V, or inactive if the voltage is less than –3 V. The voltage reference point is the signal ground on pin 7.
8-30 Interfaces Start and Stop Bits The printer receives data with 1 start bit and either 1 or 2 stop bits. The printer always sends 1 start and 2 stop bits. Parity There are four possible parity settings: Odd, Even, None, and Ignore. Odd The port expects to receive data frames with an odd number of logical 1’s per byte. The printer transmits XOFF and XON with odd parity. If the printer detects a parity error, the port sends X'5F' to the printer instead of the character sent by the host system.
8-31 Interfaces Data Flow Control Data flow control is accomplished through the following lines: • • Data Set Ready (DSR) Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Five data flow control protocols are available: • • • • • DTR pacing DTR/DSR XON/XOFF XON/XOFF/DTR XON/XOFF/DTR/DSR Your printer supports two modes in which both hardware and software data flow control protocols are performed. In XON/XOFF/DTR mode, the printer uses both XON/XOFF and DTR pacing.
8-32 Interfaces Protocol (RS-232C) Table 8-5 shows the state or function of each serial interface signal in the three data flow control protocols when the Honor DSR setting is On.
8-33 Interfaces DTR and DTR/DSR Protocol Timing (RS-232C) Use DTR to pace the data flow from the computer. DTR goes from high to low to indicate to the computer that the printer cannot receive more data when it detects the following BUSY conditions: • • • Buffer full Attendance error Printer not in ready state The following diagram illustrates DTR Protocol Timing. 1 2 Receive Data Valid 3 4 Legend: 1 The RTS signal is driven active as long as power is supplied to the printer.
8-34 Interfaces XON/XOFF Protocol Timing (RS-232C) When you select this data flow control protocol, the printer sends an XOFF signal when it detects the following BUSY conditions: • • • Buffer full Attendance error Printer not in ready state The following diagram illustrates XON/XOFF Protocol Timing. 1 RTS DTR 2 DSR Receive Data Valid XON XOFF 3 XON XMT 5 4 6 RXD Legend: 1 The RTS signal is driven active as long as power is supplied to the printer.
8-35 Interfaces Serial Errors The printer places an underscore character in the link buffer when it detects an error. Some printers also display serial errors on the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional as attendance messages, such as a 54 Standard Serial Error or 54 Serial Option x Error (x represents the number of the serial port).
8-36 Interfaces Windows 95/98/Me/2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows XP: For correct operation of the RS-232C serial interface, while setting up your communications port, make sure you selected Hardware in the Flow Control field. Selecting Hardware sets the communication to DTR protocol. See the following sections for more information: • • • • “Setting Up the Communications Port Using Windows 95/98/Me” on page 8-2 “Setting Up the Communications Port Using Windows NT 4.
8-37 Interfaces Serial Cable Pin Assignments (RS-422) The RS-422 serial cable appears as follows: 25 13 1 14 25-Pin (Male) Printer Side Pin assignments for this 25-pin connector are shown in Table 8-7. You can set the polarity of these signals from the printer operator panel or through MarkVision Professional.
8-38 Interfaces Serial Communication Parameters (RS-422) The following paragraphs show acceptable values for serial communication parameters. Voltage Level RS-422 serial interface uses a differential pair, 5-volt typical delta, 0.5 volt threshold. Your printer uses a TI75179 transceiver with transorbs. The polarity of the signals is programmable. Serial Data Frame Considerations The computer sends serial data in data frames (also known as packets).
8-39 Interfaces Parity There are four possible parity settings: Odd, Even, None, and Ignore. Odd The port expects to receive data frames with an odd number of logical 1’s per byte. The printer transmits XOFF and XON with odd parity. If the printer detects a parity error, the port sends X'5F' to the printer instead of the character sent by the host system. Even The port expects to receive data frames with an even number of logical 1’s per byte. The port transmits XOFF and XON with even parity.
8-40 Interfaces XON/XOFF Protocol Timing (RS-422) When you select this data flow control protocol, your printer sends an XOFF signal when it detects the following BUSY conditions: • • • Buffer full Attendance error Printer not in ready state XON XOFF XON XMT RXD Note: The printer sends an XOFF signal (DC3 control or X'13') to request that data transmission end until the buffer clears. About 640 free bytes remain in the buffer at this time.
8-41 Interfaces Serial Computer Configuration Recommendations (RS-422) For correct operation of the RS-422 serial interface, make sure you have: • Installed an RS-422 adapter card in your host computer. • Set up the IRQ according to the RS-422 documentation that you received with the RS-422 adapter card. • Installed support software for the RS-422 adapter card if you use DOS.
8-42 Interfaces Windows 95/98/Me/2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows XP: For correct operation of the RS-422 serial interface, while setting up your communications port, make sure you have selected Xon/Xoff in the Flow Control field. Selecting Xon/Xoff sets the communication to Xon/Xoff protocol. See the following sections for more information: • • • • “Setting Up the Communications Port Using Windows 95/98/Me” on page 8-2 “Setting Up the Communications Port Using Windows NT 4.
8-43 Interfaces Note: Network capabilities are standard on some printer models. Refer to your printer user documentation for more information. Input Buffer Your printer has an input (link) buffer for each interface. The maximum size of the input buffer depends upon the amount of RAM memory installed. The input buffers serve the same purpose as a print spooler and can be allocated automatically by the printer.
