GLOSSARY

Absolute plottingA method of plotting in the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language where coordinates are specified relative to the origin of the coordinate system currently in use.
Anchor pointThe top left-hand corner of the PCL picture frame. You can position this on the page using a PCL command.
Anisotropic scalingA form of image scaling using the SC command in HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode in which the user units can be of different sizes. Hence the entire graphics window can be used to display the image.
ASCII The standard system for assigning number codes (0 ~ 255) to alphabetic, numeric and control code characters.
AttributeA characteristic of a downloadable font or a character of a Downloadable font that is represented by a number of a fixed length.
Bitmap fontA font whose characters are defined as raster images. The characters that make up a bitmap font are of a fixed size.
BoldA wider line thickness for typographical characters, used to make the text stand out, for example, in headings.
Calling a macroA way of running a macro in which changes to the modified print environment are not retained when the macro has finished running.
CartridgeA storage medium that you can insert into the printer cartridge slots. Cartridges can store fonts. The advantage of using cartridges is that they allow you to use more fonts without taking up printer memory space.
Cartridge fontA font that is stored on a cartridge. These are widely available commercially.

Character cell The imaginary grid on which downloadable characters are designed.

Character code A number assigned to a character that uniquely identifies it.

Character descriptorA block of data that describes the characteristics of an individual character in a downloadable font, such as its width and height.
Character setA selection of different characters. Characters sets normally include the alphabet in both upper- and lowercase, the digits' 0-9, punctuation marks, common mathematical symbols and a few other useful characters. There are also some specialized character sets that are used for specific applications like mathematics. A font is defined as having a particular character set.
ColumnA vertical sub-division of the page whose width is equal to the HMI (horizontal motion index). The print position moves across the page one column width when any single character is printed (in a monospaced font), or when a space character is printed (in a proportionally spaced font). See also HMI.
Control codeAn ASCII code that tells the computer to perform a particular function, such as a carriage return.
Control panel resetA reset or factory reset performed using the printer control panel.
Cross-hatchingA method of shading using perpendicular diagonal lines that cross one another.
Current unitsThe current unit type in use in HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode. Current units are either user units or graphics units depending on whether an SC command has been used.
CursorAlthough the printer does not have a cursor, it is sometimes easier to visualize the printer's operation in terms of a cursor that can be moved from place to place on the page.

Cursor position The current position of the imaginary cursor.

Decipoint A unit of measure equal to 1/720".

Default conditions A set of HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode settings that you restore using the DF; command. The default conditions are a subset of the initial settings.

Destination image The graphic image that is already in place on a page and to which the source image is applied in the LaserJet series print model.

Dots A unit of measure equal to 1/600", the smallest increment that the cursor can move.

Downloadable font A character font that can be downloaded from your computer to the printer. You can either buy Downloadable fonts or create your own. A downloadable font consists of a font descriptor block followed by a character code, character descriptor block and the data for each character in the font.

Downloading The process of sending either a font, a macro or a graphic image from your computer to the printer.

Effective window The area of the page on which HP-GL and HP-GL/2 output can appear. The effective window is determined by the overlap of the logical page, the PCL picture frame, the hard clip and the soft clip limits.

Emulation mode A mode of operation in which the printer imitates the functions of a different model.

Enabling a macro for overlay A macro that is enabled for overlay runs as the final operation before each page is printed, using the macro overlay environment printer settings.

Escape sequence The Esc character followed by a string of other characters that tell the printer which operation to perform.

Factory default environment The collection of printer settings that have been made to the printer before it leaves the factory. You can reset the printer to the factory settings either by using a printer command or using the control panel.

Factory reset A reset in which LaserJet mode is made the current emulation mode and the factory default environment is restored.

Fill A shading applied to a shape that you have drawn.

Fixed spacingSee monospacing.
FontA collection of characters that are designed to work in harmony together. A font has several characteristics that identify it uniquely: character or symbol set, spacing, pitch, height or point size, style, stroke weight and typeface. Fonts can either be resident in the printer's ROM, installed on cartridge or downloaded from your computer. You can either buy downloadable fonts commercially or create your own. The word "font" is often wrongly used to mean "typeface". A font is confined to a single height or point size whereas a typeface is not.
Font descriptorA block of data that is downloaded to the printer as the first part of a downloaded font. The font descriptor describes the characteristics that are common to every character in the font, such as stroke weight, and contains other relevant information.
Graphics mode initial settingsThe HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode settings that are in effect when you enter HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode. You can restore the initial conditions using the IN; command.
Graphics unitsThe default units of the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 coordinate system. Also sometimes called plotter units.
Graphics windowThe area on the page in which HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphic images can appear. Initially this is the same as the picture frame, but you can change the size, position and aspect ratio of the graphics window using the IW command.
Gray scale A degree of continuous shading ranging from 0%, white, to 100%, black.
Hard clip limitsThe area of the page on which it is physically possible to print using HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language commands. The hard clip limits are determined by the size of the physical page and are equivalent to the LaserJet mode printable area.
Hatching A method of shading using parallel lines.
HeightThe height in typographic points (1/72" units) of an unaccented capital letter in a font.
HMI Horizontal motion index.The horizontal distance that the print position moves across the page when any single character is printed (in a monospaced font), or when a space character is printed (in a proportionally spaced font). You can set the HMI using printer commands, however, when you alter any font characteristic (in effect, select a new font) or switch between the primary and secondary fonts, the HMI is reset to its default value based on the newly selected font.
Horizontal plot sizeThe original horizontal size of an imported HP-GL and HP-GL/2 image.
Internal fontA font that is stored in the printer ROM and is therefore always available for use, for example, Brougham 10 pitch, or a font generated from a scalable typeface stored in the printer's ROM, for example, Tennessee bold 15 pt.
Isotropic scalingA form of image scaling using the SC command in HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode in which the user units must be of equal size. Hence it may not be possible to use the entire graphics window to display the image.

Justification The way in which text is aligned. For example, left justification involves aligning the left end of every line of text.

Label A text string that forms part of an HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plot.

Landscape Logical page The orientation in which the top edge of the page is longer than the side edges. The area of the physical page on which the cursor can be positioned in LaserJet mode. You can use PCL commands to specify the position of the logical page on the physical page. Also known as the PCL addressable area.

LSB i) The least significant byte of a set of data bytes.

ii) The least significant bit of a single byte of data.

Macro A sequence of PCL commands that can be stored in the printer memory. To run the sequence you need only use a single PCL command.

Macro execution Executing a macro is a way of running a macro whereby any changes made to the modified print environment by the macro are retained when macro execution has been completed.

Macro overlay environment Used only by a macro that has been enabled for overlay. A combination of the user default environment and the modified print environment.

Medium The line thickness of normal type.

Modified print environment The collection of all current LaserJet printer settings. This environment is saved if you call a macro or enter HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode, it is restored when the macro has finished running or when you quit HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode.

Monospacing Some bitmap fonts are printed with each character occupying the same space on a line of text. This is known as monospacing.

MSB i) The most significant byte of a set of data bytes.

ii) The most significant bit of a single byte of data.

Pattern i) The hatching or cross-hatching that can be applied to an outline shape.

ii) The non-white areas of the source image in the LaserJet print model.

Pattern transparency The patterned (non-white) areas of the source image are either transparent, in which case the destination image is visible through the white parts of the pattern, or opaque, in which case the destination image is not visible at all throughout the patterned areas of the source image.

PCL Printer Control Language. The language consisting of escape sequences that is used to control the printer in LaserJet mode

PCL addressable area See logical page.

PCL picture frame See picture frame.

Pen Although this printer is a laser printer the HP-GL/2 and HP-GL graphics languages retains the notion of a pen and allows you to select between two pens, white and black. You must select a pen before you can draw anything. The HP-GL and HP-GL/2 language were originally developed for use with plotters and the terminology remains.

Perforation skip A feature whereby the printer automatically compensates for a page break and resumes printing from the top of the text area on the next page.

Permanent font A downloaded font that is retained when a printer reset is performed.

Permanent macro A macro stored in the printer that will not be erased if the printer is reset.

Physical page The paper or envelope on which the printer prints.

Picture frame The area of the physical page in which HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphic images can be printed.

Pitch The number of characters in one inch of text. Only applicable to monospaced (fixed pitch fonts.)

Plot A drawing produced using the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language. So called because the language was originally invented for use with plotters.

Plotter units See graphics units.

Point The standard unit of measurement for character height. Equal to 1/72".

Point factor scaling A form of image scaling using the SC command in HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode in which the user units and the location of the scaling point P1 are specified in terms of graphics units.

Point size See height.

Polygon A shape consisting of one or more closed groups of connected lines.

Polygon buffer An area of printer memory in which you can store one or more polygons and sub-polygons defined using HP-GL and HP-GL/2 commands. Some HP-GL and HP-GL/2 commands use the polygon buffer automatically.

Portrait The orientation in which the side edges of the page are longer than the top edge.

Posture A component of a font's style - whether it is upright or italic.

Primary font In LaserJet mode the printer maintains two current font settings. The primary font is the first of these.

Print model A way of describing the interaction between different graphic elements (source image, pattern and destination image).

Printable area The area of the page on which the printer can print.

Print position The position from which printing of the next character or graphic object will begin, providing that no operations that change the print position are performed in the interim.

Proportional spacing Fonts intended for high quality typographic output use a method of character spacing in which the space occupied by a single character on a line of text depends on the individual design of the character. This is known as proportional spacing. Scalable fonts are almost invariably proportionally spaced.

RAM Random Access Memory. The printer's memory in which fonts and macros can be stored and where pages that are to be printed are composed.

Raster graphics A method of representing a graphic image as a series of zeroes and ones that correspond to white and black dots respectively.

Relative plotting A method of plotting in the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language where coordinates are specified relative to the point at which the last graphics command terminated.

Reset When you reset the printer you restore a base set of conditions. A reset can either be performed using the control panel or by sending the printer a reset command. There are two types of reset, the normal reset and factory reset. A normal reset simply restores the current emulation mode with the most recent control panel settings -- it does not change the emulation mode itself. A factory reset makes LaserJet mode the current emulation mode and restores the factory default environment.

Resident font See internal font.

ROM Read Only Memory. Part of the printer's memory that contains the software controlling the printer and the printer internal fonts. The ROM cannot be altered unless the type of ROM fitted to the printer is Flash ROM, in which case it can be written to electronically via the parallel port of the printer.

Row A horizontal sub-division of the page whose height is equal to the VMI (vertical motion index). The print position moves down the page a distance equal to the row height when a line feed is performed.

Sans serif A kind of typeface normally used for headlines. Sans serif typefaces do not have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters. This helps Sans serif headline text stand out more prominently.

Scalable fonts A font for which you can specify the character size. The printer will automatically scale the characters to the size you require.

Scaling In HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode you can use the SC command to scale graphic images. The three types of scaling are known as anisotropic, isotropic and point factor scaling.

Scaling points Two imaginary points called P1 and P2 that define a rectangular area relative to the picture frame. You can use the HP-GL or HP-GL/2 SC and IP or IR commands to transform and scale images by changing the relationship between the two scaling points.

Scalable typeface A typeface for which you can choose a point size (height) in order to obtain a particular font for printing. For example, you might select the Utah typeface and then select 14 pt. as the height. The printer has many resident typefaces. You can also buy scalable typeface cartridge and disks.

Secondary font In LaserJet mode the printer maintains two current font settings. The secondary font is the second of these.

Serif A kind of typeface normally used for body text. Serif typefaces have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters that makes text more readable.

Soft clip limits See graphics window. The soft limits are determined by the IW command.

Source image The graphic image that is applied to the destination image in the LaserJet print model. The interaction of the two images is determined by the current source and pattern transparency settings.

Source transparency The source image is either transparent, in which case the destination image is visible throughout the white parts of the source image, or opaque, in which case the destination image is not visible at all through the source image.

Spacing The way in which a font's characters are arranged on a line of text. See monospacing and proportional spacing.

Stick font The default HP-GL and HP-GL/2 font consisting of thin lined characters.

Stroke weight The thickness of the lines that comprise the characters in a particular font. Medium, bold and light stroke weights are commonly used.

Sub-polygon A shape consisting of a closed group of points connected by lines. Several sub-polygons can form one polygon.

Symbol set See character set.

Tab channel A set of up to sixteen vertical tab stops. Up to eight vertical tab channels can be set up in the Epson FX-850 mode.

Temporary font A downloaded font that is erased from the printer's memory when a printer reset is performed. To use the font again you must download it again.

Temporary macro A macro that is erased from the printer's memory when a reset is performed. If you want to use the macro again you must redefine it and download it to the printer again.

Text area The area of the physical page on which the printer can place text.

Text direction The orientation of printed text relative to the physical page.

TIFF Tagged Image File Format. A common file format used for storing raster graphics data.

Transparency See pattern transparency and source transparency.

Typeface The design style of a set of typographic characters. The character design is intended to make the characters work together cohesively to produce readable text. The word "font" is often erroneously used to mean "typeface".

User default environment The current combination of LaserJet factory default settings and settings made using the control panel. This is the environment that is in effect when you switch on the printer in LaserJet mode or change to LaserJet emulation from another emulation mode. You can reset the printer to its user default settings either by using a printer command or using the control panel.

User units Coordinate units specified by the user with the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 SC command.

Vector graphics A method of defining graphic images in terms of coordinates, points and lines. The HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics languages use this method.

Vertical plot size The original vertical size of an imported HP-GL and HP-GL/2 image.

VMI

Vertical motion index. The vertical distance that the print position moves down the page when a line feed is performed. This can be set using printer commands or with the printer's control panel by adjusting the "Lines" menu option in PAGE FORMAT MODE.

1. ABOUT THE MANUAL

This technical reference manual is intended to help you get the most out of each of the emulation modes supported by your HL-Series printer. It is divided into nine sections - this introductory section and one section for each of the emulation modes. Each emulation mode section describes the software commands (the escape sequences and control codes) that you can use to make the printer perform each of its available functions. Some example programs are included to give you useful ideas.

This manual is for our PCL models. For the differences between each model, see the Appendix "Model Comparison."

"PCL6" includes both "PCLXL" and "PCL5e".

As for "PCL5e", it is described in "chapter 2 PCL" of this manual.

As for "PCLXL", it is mainly used with Windows driver, and its command is structured by binary code.

Therefore, it is not described in this manual.

For basic set-up information, such as how to connect the printer to your computer, look in the User's guide. The User's guide also describes the printers control panel and how you can set various options using the keys.

2. AREAS OF USE

There are several different applications for which you may want to use your HL-Series printer. Four general areas are outlined in the following sections.

2.1 Using Word Processing Packages and Spreadsheets

You may simply wish to use the printer with your software application packages, such as word-processors or spreadsheets. Many software packages automatically send commands to the printer requesting particular type styles, character sizes and specifying page set-up information and other relevant data. In this case you will not need to use this manual, as your software package will perform the task of controlling the printer for you. Other packages allow you to embed software commands within your word-processed or spreadsheet documents. This manual describes the commands you need, and you can simply include them in the form that your package requires. In either case, read the documentation that came with your software to find out its own specific requirements for driving a printer.

2.2 Graphics

HP-GL/2 or HP-GL mode offers many powerful graphic features that enable you to draw and print detailed images quickly and easily. Many commercial graphic packages, notably computer-aided design applications programs, produce HP-GL/2 or HP-GL output. LaserJet mode also has several graphics features. You can either write your own programs to generate images or use existing graphics software.

2.3 Programming

If you are writing software, for example in BASIC or C, to drive the printer, the description and formal specification of each command will enable you to transcribe them straight into your programs. Below is a simple example of a program to draw and print a three inch black square. The program is given in both C and BASIC.

C language program

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *prn; /* initialization section */
prn = fopen("PRN", "wb");
fprintf(prn, "\33E"); /* Esc E - Reset the printer */
fprintf(prn, "\33%0B"); /* Esc%0B - Enter HP-GL/2 */
fprintf(prn, "IN"); /* Initialize */
fprintf(prn, "SP1PA1024, 1024"); /* Select pen 1 & move to 0, 0 */
fprintf(prn, "PDFT1RA4096, 4096"); /* Draw 3" solid square */
fprintf(prn, "\33%0A"); /* Quit HP-GL/2 & restore original cursor position */
fprintf(prn, "\33E /* Reset and eject page */
}
BASIC language program
10 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; :REM Esc E - Reset the printer
20 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%0B"; :REM Esc%0B - Enter HP-GL/2
30 LPRINT "IN"; :REM Initialize
40 LPRINT "SP1PA1024, 1024"; :REM Select pen 1 & move to 0, 0
50 LPRINT "PDFT1RA4096, 4096"; :REM Draw 3" solid square
60 LPRINT CHR$(27); "%0A"; :REM Quit HP-GL/2 & restore original cursor position
70 LPRINT CHR$(27); "E"; :REM Reset and eject page 

2.4 Font Development

In LaserJet mode you can send your own character designs to an HL-Series printer and print text using them. To do this you need first to design your characters on paper. Having done this you can then either input and download your characters using a commercial software package, or encode your designs numerically and write your own program to download them.

2. INTRODUCTION

This laser / ink printer provides a complete emulation of the supported Hewlett Packard LaserJet printer. Features include raster and vector graphics, support for bitmap and scalable fonts and page control. There are many resident fonts in the printer and you can gain access to more by inserting a font cartridge/card or the storage device into the printer or by downloading fonts from your computer.

3. CONTROLLING THE PRINTER

3.1. Control Codes

Control codes are ASCII codes that tell the printer to perform a given function, such as a carriage return. You can send these codes to the printer as part of a program.

3.1.1. Backspace

(08)

<08h>

ASCII code 8. This code moves the cursor one column to the left.

3.1.2. Line feed (10) <0Ah>

ASCII code 10. This code performs a line feed.

3.1.3. Form feed (12) <0Ch>

ASCII code 12. This code ejects the most recently printed page from the printer.

3.1.4. Carriage return (13) <0Dh>

ASCII code 13. This code performs a carriage return.

3.1.5. Select primary font (14) <0Eh>

ASCII code 15. When you send this code to the printer subsequent characters will be printed in the current primary font. This is explained further in the sub-section entitled "Using fonts".

3.1.6. Select secondary font (15) <0Fh>

ASCII code 14. When you send this code to the printer subsequent characters will be printed in the current secondary font. This is explained further in the sub-section entitled "Using fonts".

3.1.7. Escape

(27)

<1Bh>

ASCII code 27. You must use this character code to start every instruction sequence that you send to the printer.

3.1.8. Horizontal tab (09) <09h>

ASCII code 9. This code moves the cursor one tab position to the right. The tab positions are at the left margin and at the left edge of every 8th column as defined by the horizontal motion index (HMI) described in the next section, entitled "The Page".

3.1.9. Space

(32)

<20h>

ASCII code 32. This code moves the cursor one column to the right.

3.2. Escape Sequences

Escape sequences, also known as PCL (Printer Control Language) commands, tell the printer which operations to perform. An escape sequence consists of the Esc character followed by a string of characters which define the operation to be performed. Some escape sequences require parameter values. These are included in the sequence as numeric characters. The final letter of an escape sequence must be uppercase: all others must be lowercase.

You can send the printer instructions by embedding escape sequences in programs or in word processed documents.

In this manual escape sequences are shown as they would be entered, except that the character # in a sequence indicates that a number should be included at that point in the sequence. If no number is included, the printer interprets that parameter's value as 0.

When downloading fonts or sending raster scan images to the printer the final uppercase character of the sequence is followed by the relevant data.

Two escape sequences can be combined into one if the first three characters of each sequence (including the Esc character itself) are the same. Hence, Esc*c45G and Esc*c2P may be combined to give Esc*c45g2P. The uppercase 'G' which terminated the first sequence becomes a lowercase character in the combined sequence. Combined escape sequences are executed left to right, so be careful to place commands in the order in which you want them to be executed.

    A["Esc*c45G"] --> C["Esc*c45g2P"]
    B["Esc*c2P"] --> C["Esc*c45g2P"]

3.2.1. Line termination

You can set the carriage return, line feed and form feed control codes to perform compound functions. You can either do this using the printer's control panel (see the User Guide) or by sending the printer the following escape sequence:

Esc&k#G (27) (38) (107) #(71) <1Bh><26h><6Bh>#<47h>

  • 0 = Carriage return, line feed and form feed perform their normal functions.
  • 1 = Carriage return performs carriage return/line feed, line feed and form feed perform their normal functions.
  • 2 = Carriage return performs its normal function, line feed performs carriage return/line feed and form feed performs carriage return/form feed.
  • 3 = Carriage return performs carriage return/line feed, line feed performs carriage return/line feed and form feed performs carriage return/form feed.
0CR→CRLF→LFFF→FF
1CR→CR+LFLF→LFFF→FF
2CR→CRLF→CR+LFFF→CR+FF
3CR→CR+LFLF→CR+LFFF→CR+FF

3.2.2. End-of-line wrap

If the printer tries to print a line of text that is longer than the width of the text area, the end of the line will normally be lost. However, you can set the printer to flow text onto the next line so that text is not lost.

You can turn on the automatic text wrap feature either from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide) or by sending the printer the following escape sequence:

Esc&s0C (27) (38) (115) (48) (67) <1Bh><26h><73h><30h><43h>

To turn off the facility send:

Esc&s1C (27) (38) (115) (49) (67) <1Bh><26h><73h><31h><43h>

3.2.3. Display functions mode

You can choose to make the printer print escape sequences instead of executing them. Send the printer the following sequence:

EscY (27) (89) <1B><59>

Now the printer prints out escape sequences and prints the characters of the control codes. It does not execute them. The only exceptions to this are CR, the carriage return code, which causes a carriage return and line feed to be performed, and the EscZ escape sequence which turns the mode off.

To turn the display functions mode off and enable escape sequences to be executed again send:

EscZ (27) (90) <1B><5A>

The printer exits the display function mode after printing a character of code 1B Hex and the letter "Z". All subsequent escape sequences and control codes are executed normally and not printed literally.

3.3. Environments

3.3.1. Factory default environment

The factory default environment is the collection of printer settings programmed into the printer before it leaves the factory. You can restore the factory default environment using the printer's control panel.

See the User's Guide to find how to reset the printer from the printer's control panel.

Some settings cannot be restored to the factory default environment with the RESET operation from the printer's control panel.

3.3.2. User default environment

The user default environment is a combination of factory default settings and settings which the user has made from the printer's control panel or remote printer console. You can store user default setting(s) in the printer by using the printer control panel. You can restore the user default environment either by sending the reset escape sequence to the printer, EscE, or by performing a reset from the printer's control panel. On some models, there are multiple User settings available, refer to your printer User Guide to see if your printer supports these.

3.3.3. Modified print environment

The modified print environment is made up of all the current printer settings. If you call a macro or go into HP-GL/2 graphics language the modified print environment settings are saved. When the macro has been executed, or when you quit HP-GL/2, these saved settings are restored. The modified print environment consists of settings for the following features:

Page lengthPrimary font characteristicsRaster graphics presentation mode
Page sizeSecondary font characteristics HMIRaster graphics left margin
OrientationPrimary fontPattern ID
Left registrationSecondary fontCurrent pattern
Top registrationFont IDSource transparency mode
Paper sourceCharacter code Macro IDPattern transparency mode
Number of copiesVMI/Line spacingPrint direction
MarginsHorizontal rectangle sizeRaster graphics compression mode
Perforation skip modeVertical rectangle sizeUnderline mode
Line termination modeArea fill IDRaster graphics height
End-of line wrapRaster graphics resolutionRaster graphics width
Current font

3.3.4. Macro overlay environment

The macro overlay environment is a combination of the user default environment and the current modified print environment. The overlay environments settings take effect when a macro is enabled for automatic overlay. This is detailed in the section of this manual in which macros are described.

4.2. The Page

4.2.1. Physical page

The physical page refers to the size of the paper or envelope currently in use: A4, Letter, B5, JIS B5, Legal and Executive are the permitted paper sizes: Monarch, COM-10, International DL and International C5 are the allowable envelope sizes.

4.2.2. Printable area

The printable area is a rectangular area of the physical page on which the printer can print. Its edges are approximately 1/6" in from the edges of the physical page, please refer to the printer User Guide for the exact measurement for each model.

4.2.3. Logical page

The logical page is the area of the physical page where the cursor can be positioned. (Although the printer does not really have a cursor, we refer to the position on the page from which the printing of a character or graphic starts as the cursor position). You can alter the size of the logical page using the left offset registration and top offset registration commands. The logical page is also called the PCL (printer control language) addressable area.

4.2.4. Text area

The text area is the area of the physical page on which text can be printed, and is determined by the left, right and top margin settings, the text length and whether the perforation skip facility is on or off. All these settings can be made either from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide) or using PCL commands.

4.2.5. HP-GL/2 graphics window

The HP-GL/2 graphics window is the area of the physical page on which images can be printed using HP-GL/2 commands. This is described in the HP-GL/2 section of this manual. The default graphics window is bound by the left and right edges of the logical page and horizontal boundaries half an inch below the top and above the bottom of the logical page.

All measurements are in 1/300" units

4.2.8. Coordinates

The printer control language coordinate system has its origin at the intersection of the left edge of the logical page and the top margin. The x-coordinate value of the current cursor position increases as the cursor moves from left to right, the y-coordinate value increases as the cursor moves down the page. The cursor can be explicitly positioned anywhere on the current logical page using the PCL coordinate system. In addition, the cursor's coordinate position will change as text and graphics are printed.

4.2.9. Units

You can specify cursor movement within the PCL coordinate system using one of three different unit systems.

Decipoints

A decipoint is one-tenth of a typographic point measurement = 1/720".

Rows and columns

Using the horizontal motion index (HMI) (Esc&k#H) and vertical motion index (VMI)(Esc&l#C) commands you can set the width of a column and the height of a row. You can then use the column width and row height as the units of the coordinate system. The line-spacing command is an alternative to the VMI command.

Units

The unit of measurement used must be defined by the unit of measure command as described in 4.2.10.

4.2.10. Unit of measure

Esc&u#D (27) (38) (117) #(68) <1Bh><26h><75h>#<44h>

  • value can be 96, 100, 120, 144, 150, 160, 180, 200, 225, 240, 288, 300, 360, 400, 450, 480, 600, 720, 800, 900, 1200, 1440, 1800, 2400, 3600, 7200.

  • stands for the unit of measurement in dots per inch.

  • The value set by this command is used as the unit setting for use by other setting commands such as ESC*p#X.
    • The default value of # is 300.

Example)

Esc&u300D Esc*p+100x+200Y

move cursor 100/300 inch right and 200/300 inch down.

Esc&u600D Esc*p+100x+200Y

move cursor 100/600 inch right and 200/600 inch down.

4.2.11. Setting the left and right margins

Esc&a#L (27) (38) (97) # (76) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<4Ch>

# stands for the distance between the left edge of the logical page and the left margin in columns.

Esc&a#M (27) (38) (97) #(77) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<4Dh>

# stands for the distance between the left edge of the logical page and the right margin in columns.

  • The column width is as defined by the HMI. If you subsequently change the HMI, the margin positions that you have set do not change - that is, when you specify margin positions they remain fixed physically until you specify new ones or reset them to default values.
  • You cannot specify a value for the left margin that is greater than the value of the current right margin.
  • If the current cursor position is to the left of your new left margin setting, the cursor will be moved to the new left margin.
  • You cannot set the right margin further right than the right edge of the logical page.

  • If the current cursor position is to the right of your new right margin setting, the cursor will be moved to the new right margin.

  • The factory default left and right margin settings are at the left and right edges of the logical page respectively.
  • Depending on your model, margin settings can be made from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide).

4.2.12. Resetting the horizontal margins

Esc9 (27) (39) <1Bh><39h>

This command resets the left and right margins to the left and right edges of the logical page respectively.

4.2.13. Setting the top margin

Esc&I#E (27) (38) (108) # (69) <1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<45h>

# stands for the distance between the top of the logical page and the top margin in rows.

  • The row height is as defined by the VMI. If you subsequently change the VMI (or the line spacing) the top margin position that you have set does not change - that is, when you specify the top margin position it remains fixed physically until you specify a new one or reset it to a default value.
  • The top margin command is ignored if you try to set a margin greater than the current length of the logical page.
  • The top margin command is ignored if the current VMI is 0.
  • The factory default top margin setting is half an inch below the top of the logical page.
  • Depending on your model, the top margin can be set from the printer's control panel (see the User Guide).

# stands for the height of one row in 1/48".

  • can have any value in the range 0-32767.

  • The distance specified by the VMI is the vertical distance moved down the page when the printer performs a line feed. The VMI is also sometimes referred to as the line pitch.
  • If you try to set a VMI that is greater than the current length of the logical page the command is ignored.
  • Changing the VMI setting does not affect the position of the top margin.
  • The factory default setting is 8 - that is, the printer will print six lines of text per inch.
  • Depending on your model, you can change the number of lines per page setting from the printer's control panel or remote printer console. If you change its setting, the VMI will change automatically.

  • can have any value in the range 0-32767 and can have up to four decimal places.

  • If you are using a fixed space font the HMI is the horizontal distance moved across the page when the printer prints one character.
  • If you are using a proportionally spaced font the HMI is the horizontal distance moved across the page when the printer receives a space control code < 20h .
  • If any font characteristics are changed, or a Select Primary Font or Select Secondary Font control code is sent to the printer, the HMI is set to correspond to the default pitch value of the newly selected font.
  • Changing the HMI setting does not affect the positions of the left and right margins.
  • The factory default setting is 12 - that is, the printer will print ten characters of fixed pitch text per inch.

# stands for the number of lines to be printed per inch.

  • can have any of the following values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 48.

  • This command performs the same function as the VMI command.
  • Changing the line spacing setting does not affect the position of the top margin.
  • The factory default setting is 6 - that is, the printer will print six lines of text per inch.
  • Depending on your printer model, the number of lines per page can also be set from the printer's control panel or remote printer console (see the User Guide).

4.2.17. Text length

Esc&I#F (27) (38) (108) # (70) <1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<46h>

# stands for the number of lines of text (at the current VMI) to be printed on each page.

  • Values for # should be within the value (Logical Page length-Top margin).
  • Text is printed from the top margin downwards.
  • If you specify a value that would cause the text area to extend beyond the end of the logical page, the command is ignored.

text_image Top margin Text length Page length Bottom margin

4.2.18. Page length

Esc&1#P (27) (38) (108) #(80) <1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<50h>

# stands for the length of the logical page in lines (at the current VMI).

  • If you specify a page length greater than is allowed by the physical size of the paper in the currently installed paper tray, a control panel message prompts you to load paper of the appropriate size.
  • When the printer receives this command any unprinted pages are printed and the left, right and top margins and the text length are set to their user defaults.
  • If you specify a page length greater than is allowed by any of the supported paper sizes, the command is ignored.
  • If the current VMI is 0 the command is ignored.
  • For the USA, the factory default page size is letter, for which the default page length is 66 lines (11 inches at 6 lines per inch). For Europe, the factory default page size is A4, for which the default page length is 70 lines (11.6 inches at 6 lines per inch). The default lengths for other paper sizes are: Legal - 84 lines, Executive - 63 lines (all at 6 lines per inch).
  • Depending on your printer model, you can also set the page length from the printer's control panel or remote printer console by setting LINES to the required number of lines per page in the PAGE FORMAT mode (see the User Guide).

4.2.19. Perforation skip

You can set the printer to flow text from one page to the next when it encounters a line feed (or half line feed) that would otherwise move the cursor position to below the bottom of the text area. When perforation skip is enabled the cursor is automatically moved to the top left hand corner of the text area on the next page and printing continues.

Esc&l#L (27) (38) (108) # (76) <1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<4Ch>

# is either 0 or 1.

  • = 0 turns the perforation skip feature off.

  • = 1 turns the perforation skip feature on.

    • The factory default mode is perforation skip on.
  • Whenever the perforation skip mode is changed, the top margin and page length values are reset to their default values.

4.2.20. Positioning the cursor

You can position the cursor anywhere on the logical page. In addition, the cursor position is automatically changed when text or graphics are printed. You can either position the cursor using absolute PCL coordinate values or position it relative to the current cursor position, using dots, decipoints or rows and columns as units. In case of using dots, the units value is defined by the ESC & u # d command. The commands for positioning the cursor are listed below.

4.2.21. Vertical positioning

Vertical cursor positioning - rows

Esc&a#R (27) (38) (97) # (82) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<52h>

# = number of rows

  • A plus or minus sign preceding the number of rows parameter indicates that the cursor is to be positioned relative to its current position. A signed positive parameter value signifies that the cursor is to be repositioned vertically downwards on the page, a negative value means that it will be moved upwards.
  • An unsigned number as the parameter signifies that the vertical repositioning is absolute - the cursor will be repositioned the specified number of rows below the top margin, the PCL coordinate system's x-axis.
  • The parameter value can have up to two decimal places.
  • The cursor's horizontal position remains unchanged.
  • If you attempt to move the cursor to a position that is outside the boundaries of the logical page, the cursor will be positioned at either the top or bottom of the logical page as appropriate.

Vertical cursor positioning - units

Esc*p#Y (27) (42) (112) #(89) <1Bh><2Ah><70h>#<79h>

# = number of units

  • Units value is defined by the Esc & u # D command.
  • A plus or minus sign preceding the number of dots parameter indicates that the cursor is to be positioned relative to its current position. A signed positive parameter value signifies that the cursor is to be repositioned vertically downwards on the page, a negative value means that it will be moved upwards.
  • An unsigned number as the parameter signifies that the vertical repositioning is absolute - the cursor will be repositioned the specified number of dots below the top margin, the PCL coordinate system's x-axis.
  • The cursor's horizontal position remains unchanged.
  • If you attempt to move the cursor to a position that is outside the boundaries of the logical page, the cursor will be positioned at either the top or bottom of the logical page as appropriate.

Vertical cursor positioning - decipoints

Esc&a#V (27) (38) (97) #(86) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<56h>

# = number of decipoints in 1/720"

  • A plus or minus sign preceding the number of decipoints parameter indicates that the cursor is to be positioned relative to its current position. A signed positive parameter value signifies that the cursor is to be repositioned vertically downwards on the page, a negative value means that it will be moved upwards.
  • An unsigned number as the parameter signifies that the vertical repositioning is absolute - the cursor will be repositioned the specified number of decipoints below the top margin, the PCL coordinate system's x-axis.
  • The cursor's horizontal position remains unchanged.
  • If you attempt to move the cursor to a position that is outside the boundaries of the logical page, the cursor will be positioned at either the top or bottom of the logical page as appropriate.

4.2.22. Horizontal position

Horizontal cursor positioning - columns

Esc&a#C (27) (38) (97) #(67) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<43h>

# = number of columns

  • A plus or minus sign preceding the number of columns parameter indicates that the cursor is to be positioned relative to its current position. A signed positive parameter value signifies that the cursor is to be repositioned to the right on the page, a negative value means that it will be moved to the left.
  • An unsigned number as the parameter signifies that the horizontal repositioning is absolute - the cursor will be repositioned the specified number of columns to the right of the left edge of the logical page, the PCL coordinate system's y-axis.
  • The parameter value can have up to two decimal places.
  • The cursor's vertical position remains unchanged.
  • If you attempt to move the cursor to a position that is outside the boundaries of the logical page, the cursor will be positioned at either the left or right edge of the logical page as appropriate.

4.2.23. Positioning the cursor using control codes

The carriage return, space, horizontal tab and backspace control codes can also be used to reposition the cursor using the current VMI and HMI settings.

4.2.24. Using the cursor position stack

You can save and retrieve up to 20 cursor positions using the cursor position stack.

Esc&f#S (27) (38) (102) #(115) <1Bh><26h><66h>#<73h>

# = 0 or 1

  • Setting # to 0 stores the current cursor position on the stack.
  • Setting # to 1 retrieves the cursor position currently on the top of the stack and makes it the current cursor position.
  • Resetting the printer deletes all the positions from the stack.

4.2.25. Half line feed

$$ \text { Esc } = (2 7) (6 1) < 1 \mathrm{Bh} > < 3 \mathrm{Dh} > $$

This command moves the cursor down half a row as defined by the last VMI or line spacing command (Esc&l#C).

4.2.26. Logical page orientation

Esc&I#O (27) (38) (108) # (79) <1Bh><26h><6Ch>#<4Fh>

# = 0, 1, 2 or 3

• This command sets the orientation of the logical page relative to the physical page.
- Values of # produce orientations as follows: 0 = portrait, 1 = landscape, 2 = reverse portrait and 3 = reverse landscape.
- Sending this command to the printer causes the page length, text length, top, left and right margins to be set to their user default values. Any previously transmitted data is printed out and the cursor is positioned at the top left hand corner of the text area on the next page.
- Portrait or Landscape orientation can also be selected from the printer's control panel.
• The factory default orientation is portrait.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Logical page orientation - 1

text_image (0,0) X "TEXT" Y Top margin Physical page Logical page X (0,0) Y Portrait # = 0 Landscape # = 1

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Logical page orientation - 2

text_image Physical page Logical page Top margin "EXT" (0,0) Y X Reverse portrait # = 2 Y (0,0) TEXT X Reverse landscape # = 3

4.2.27. Text direction

Esc&a#P (27) (38) (97) #(80) <1Bh><26h><61h>#<50h>

# = 0, 90, 180 or 270.

  • This command changes the orientation of the logical page relative to the physical page, but without the side effects of the logical page orientation command. Hence you can print text in different directions on the same page.
  • Values of # have the following effects: 0 = portrait, 90 = landscape, 180 = reverse portrait and 270 = reverse landscape. The value specifies the angle through which the text direction is rotated counterclockwise.
    • The cursor position remains at the same physical page position.

  • All subsequent text is printed in the newly selected orientation.

  • The PCL coordinate system and margin settings are rotated through the specified angle. Hence the cursor coordinates will change.
  • HP-GL/2 graphics images cannot be rotated using this command.
  • The factory default orientation is portrait.

5. USING FONTS

5.1. Introduction

A font is a collection of characters that have common characteristics, such as size, style and typeface, and which ranges over a given set of symbols. For example, 12 point Tennessee Bold in the Roman-8 symbol set is a typical HL Series font. Different sorts of fonts are used to create various typographic effects. Traditionally, large point size sans serif typeface fonts, like Helsinki and Utah are used for document headlines while smaller fonts with serif typefaces, like Tennessee and Portugal are used for body text. In LaserJet mode you can have access to a large range of fonts that are already built in to the printer's ROM, plus the facility for downloading more fonts from a personal computer or plugging in font cards/cartridges or the storage device. When you select a font for printing you will specify a number of characteristics which identify the font you require. The laser / ink printer does its best to print using the font you specified, but if amongst all its available fonts it does not have the exact one that you specified, it will compromise and give you what it regards as the closest available font. Sometimes the results will not be what you expected and you should exercise care in selecting fonts for printing. In most instances the selection of a font will be handled automatically from your word processing software or other applications package. In these cases you need only ensure that the correct font is available (that is, as a standard font in the ROM, on cartridge/card or downloaded) and the application will do the rest. You do not need to concern yourself with sending any escape sequences.

As well as using software commands you can also select fonts using the printer's control panel. Consult the printer User Guide for details.

5.1.1. Font types

There are two types of fonts supported by the HL Series printers in LaserJet mode - bitmap fonts and scalable fonts.

5.1.2. Bitmap fonts

The characters which make up a bitmap font are raster bit images of the relevant symbols. When text is printed using the font it is nearly always monospaced and when you select the font you specify it by its typeface, pitch (the number of characters printed per inch), height (point size) and symbol set.

5.1.3. Scalable fonts

The printer has many scalable fonts available as standard. The following table shows scalable fonts available for models HL-1050/1070/1250/1270N/1450/1470N/P2500/1660c/2060/2400C/2400Cc/3400CN/1650/1670N/2460/7050/1850/1870N/5040/5050/5070N/5140/5150D/5170DN/2600CN/3450CN/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2700CN/2070N/4040CN/4050CDN/4070CDW/2150N/2170W/5240/5250DN/5270DN/5280DW/5340D/5350DN/5370DW/5380DN/3070CW/3075CW/2250DN/2270DW/4140CN/4150CDN/4570CDW/L2360DN/L2360DW/L2365DW/2560DN/2569DW/S7000DN/L2370DN/L2371DN/L2372DN/2590DN/B2050DN/L2370DW/L2375DW/L2376DW/B2080DW/L2385DW/L2386DW/2595DW/L3270CDW/L3230CDW/L3230CDN/L3210CW/3190CDW/3160CDW.

You can select a font in any of these typefaces, specifying height (point size) and symbol set. Characters printed in scalable fonts are always proportionally spaced - that is, the spacing between characters on a line depends on their shapes. To add to the number of fonts available, you can buy scalable typeface cartridges/cards which you can insert into the printer's cartridge/card slots and scalable typeface disks from which you can copy the typefaces into the printer's memory. You can also create your own downloadable scalable typefaces, using software commands.

5.1.4. Bound fonts

Bound fonts are fonts which have only a single symbol set.

5.1.5. Unbound fonts

Unbound fonts are fonts which have a large amount of symbols selected from a complementary symbol index (intellifont) or unicode symbol index (TrueType).

5.1.6. Font sources

Depending on your printer model, fonts available to the printer can be in one of three places, either in the printer's ROM as supplied from the factory, on a cartridge/card, on the storage device, or in the printer's RAM. RAM fonts are downloaded from a personal computer.

5.1.7. Internal fonts

The printer comes with some bitmap fonts contained in its ROM and many scalable typefaces which can be used to create scalable fonts.

5.1.8. Card/cartridge fonts

You can buy cartridge/card -based bitmap fonts and scalable typefaces. Plug the cartridge/card into one of the printer's cartridge/card slots and then select any font from them as if it were in the printer's ROM. Depending on your model, you can also save bitmap fonts and scalable typeface in the flash ROM memory, installed optional storage device and you can use any of these as if they were a font card.

5.1.9. Downloadable fonts

You can buy diskettes containing fonts which can be copied directly to the printer using the DOS COPY command. You can also design your own fonts and download them to the printer.

One disadvantage of downloaded fonts is that they reside in the printer's RAM memory. The printer also uses this memory for composing the text and graphic output that it prints on the page. If the memory contains too many fonts the printer may run out of memory. Since downloaded fonts are stored in the printer's RAM they are lost when the printer is switched off, and you must download them again before you can use them.

5.1.10. Primary and secondary fonts

The printer maintains two sets of font characteristics which define its primary and secondary fonts. The primary font is the one it will use by default, the secondary font can be selected instead. This facility enables you to have two parallel font definitions that you can switch between easily without invoking long escape sequences. You can select the primary and secondary fonts using PCL commands.

Depending on your model, you can also set any available fonts to be the printer's user default primary and secondary fonts using the printer's control panel. Refer to the User Guide for instructions on how to do this.

The factory default settings for both primary and secondary fonts are Brougham 12 point, 10 cpi Roman 8.

5.1.11. Specifying the primary font

When you specify primary font characteristics you send escape codes with '(' as the second character of the sequence. This tells the printer that the font characteristic you are specifying applies to the primary font.

5.1.12. Specifying the secondary font

When you specify secondary font characteristics you send escape codes with ')' as the second character of the sequence. This tells the printer that the font characteristic you are specifying applies to the secondary font.

5.1.13. Selecting the default fonts

To set the primary font settings to those of the printers default font and discard all the software settings you have made in the meantime, send the printer the following escape sequence:

Esc (3@

(27) (40) (51) (64)

<1Bh><28h><33h><40h>

To set the secondary font settings to those of the printers default font send:

Esc) 3@

(27) (41) (51) (64)

<1Bh><29h><33h><40h>

5.1.14. Switching between the primary and secondary fonts

To select the primary font as the font for printing send the printer the SI control code:

SI

(15)

(OF)

To select the secondary font as the font for printing send the printer the SO control code:

so

(14)

(0E)

5.1.15. Criteria for font selection

The printer will try to match your stated font requirements as best it can with the fonts available to it in any of the three possible font locations. In most cases you will be specifying a font you know to be present in one of the locations and the resulting printed text will appear exactly as you envisaged. However, if you specify a particular combination of font characteristics that is not possible, the printer will produce the closest possible match that it can by satisfying the following specifications in the following order: symbol set / spacing type / pitch (for monospaced fonts) / height / stroke weight / style.

The meanings of each of these are explained in the following sub-sections. Likewise, if you simply specify a font attribute that is not available, for example if you request a Utah Light font when only Utah Medium and Utah Bold are available in the font locations, the printer will simply ignore the requirement (light stroke weight, in this case) that it cannot fulfill.

5.1.16. Symbol set

The symbol set is the list of symbols that constitute a particular font. Normally, symbol sets contain lower and upper case letters, numbers, punctuation marks and a selection of other commonly used symbols. Some symbol sets are designed for specific needs, for example, for generating text with mathematical expressions. The symbol set has the highest priority of all the characteristics you specify when you designate the font you require. If the symbol set you choose is available, but not in conjunction with any of the other characteristics you specify, the printer will satisfy your symbol set request at the expense of the rest of your designation and the text printed out may well look completely different from what you expected to see.

5.1.17. Symbol collections

The symbol collections contain many symbols and a symbol set is made from symbol collections by selecting the required symbols for unbound fonts. As symbol collections have more symbols than symbol sets, unbound fonts can have more symbols than bound fonts. Due to the compatibility between symbol sets and symbol collections, the printer searches the designated MSL or Unicode number by using a symbol set mapping table.

5.1.18. Type of character spacing

Character spacing is either fixed (monospacing), in which every printed character is allocated the same amount of space on the line, or proportional, where characters are spaced according to their shape and size. For any serious typographic work proportional spacing is essential since fixed spacing is unattractive and hard to read. In general, monospacing is used with bitmap fonts and proportional spacing is used with scalable fonts. However, proportionally spaced bitmap fonts do exist.

5.1.19. Pitch

Pitch is the number of characters that are printed per inch and therefore only applies to monospaced fonts. If you make a pitch selection while using a proportionally spaced font the command will have no immediate effect. However, the new pitch will be stored as part of the primary (or secondary) font designation and applied the next time a monospaced font is selected as the primary (or secondary) font.

The printer's in-built bitmap fonts all have a pitch of either 10, 12 or 16.66 characters per inch.

5.1.20. Height

Height refers to the height in points (1/72") of unaccented capital letters in a font. This is the generally accepted method of defining the height of a font's characters. Scaled fonts can be specified to an accuracy of 0.25 points.

5.1.21. Style

A font's style is defined by its posture (upright or italic), width (condensed, normal or expanded) and structure (solid, outline or shadow). Upright and italic bitmap fonts and scalable typefaces are available in the printer's ROM. However, these are all normal and solid fonts. To print using any of the other styles (for example, using Condensed Helsinki or Outline Tennessee) you would have to download the requisite font or install a font card/cartridge containing it.

5.1.22. Stroke weight

Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the lines which make up the printed characters. Characters of normal line thickness are called medium. Thicker lines are referred to as bold or black and thinner lines as light or thin. You can specify 15 different stroke weights - 0 denotes medium weight, negative values signify thinner strokes, and positive values signify bolder (thicker) strokes. If you have the bold font available that matches your font designation, a stroke weight selection of 1 to 7 will produce bold text. Likewise, for light or thin text you would need to make the requisite light or thin font available for the stroke weight selection to have any effect.

5.1.23. Typeface

Typeface refers to the designed style of the characters. Commonly known typefaces include Times, Helvetica, Univers and Palatino. The printer has its own resident typefaces. When selecting a particular typeface ensure that it meets all your other specified criteria, otherwise the printer will substitute a font of a different typeface that can satisfy the other, higher priority criteria, such as style and stroke weight.

5.2. Font Selection Commands

5.2.1. User-defined symbol sets

User-defined symbol sets can be used with Unbound scalable fonts. Three new commands below are prepared for use to control a user-defined symbol set.

To define a symbol set, its ID code must first be defined.

Next, a list of symbols for the symbol set must be downloaded.

Then, you can use the defined ID code for the symbol set selection.

5.2.2. Symbol set ID code command

Esc*c#R (27) (42) (99) # (82) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<52h>

• Value for # can be from 0 to 2047.
- This command defines the ID code for a user-defined symbol set which can be used to control symbol set selection.

- The symbol set ID code defined by this command must be calculated by using the following formula. Symbol Set ID Code = ( # x 32 ) + ( ID - 64 )

Symbol set selection values consists of numerical character(s) and an alphabetical character.

For example, 8U is the symbol set selection value for Roman-8. In this case, the Symbol set ID code is 277 as the result of the following calculation.

$$ (8 \times 3 2) + (8 5 - 6 4) = 2 7 7 $$

- Make sure to select an unused number for a new ID code that you define. If the ID code has been used already, the printer deletes the existing symbol set and defines the new symbol set.

5.2.3. Define symbol set

Esc (f#W[data] (27) (49) (102) #(87) <1Bh><28h><66h>#<57h>

- # value can be from 18 to 32767.

- # stands for number of bytes of data that follow this command.

- If an existing ID code is used for a user-defined symbol set, it is overwritten.

- Up to 2047 downloadable user-defined symbol sets can be stored subject to the printer's memory capacity.

- If a memory full error occurs while downloading the user-defined symbol set, the symbol set which is being downloaded becomes invalid.

- The symbol set which is defined by this command is temporarily stored in the printer memory.

- The data following this command should be in the following format.

15MSB870LSB
0 - 1Header Size (18)
2 - 3Encoded symbol set designator
4 - 5Format Symbol Set Type
6 - 7First Code
8 - 9Last Code

(SB) Signed Byte (-128 \~ 127)

(UI) Unsigned Integer (0 \~ 65535)

(SI) Signed Integer (-32768\~32767)

(ULI) Unsigned Long Integer (0 \~ 2 ^32 -1)

(SLI) Signed Long Integer (-2^31 2^31 - 1)

(ASC**) ASCII string array (0 \~ **-1) of characters

0 -1: Header size (UI) - set to 18 or greater.

This value stands for the number of header bytes.

2 -3 : Encoded Symbol Set Designator (UI) - should be as same as the ID code which is defined by ESC*c#R.

4 : Format (UB) - 1 for MSL (Intellifont), 3 for Unicode (TrueType).

5 : Symbol Set Type (UB) - 0, 1 or 2.

0 specifies a 7-bit font with character codes 20H to 7FH acceptable.

1 specifies an 8-bit font with character codes 20H to 7FH and 80H to FFH acceptable.

2 specifies 8-bit 256 all character fonts. Only when the printer is set to transparent print mode can the characters 0, 7\~15 and 27 be printed.

6 -7: First Code (UI) - indicates the first code of definition data following this header.

8 -9: Last Code (UI) - indicates the last code of definition data following this header. This value should be more than the first code value. Also, the data followed this header should have (Last code - first code + 1) bytes.

10 - 17: Character Requirement Flag (8 bytes)

Used in conjunction with the character complement field in the header of the font descriptor to decide the compatibility of a symbol set for an unbound font. This flag indicates which symbol collections are necessary to make the required symbol set.

Each bit in this field stands for the selection of each symbol collection. When set to 1, the symbol collection is included and when set to 0, the symbol collection is not included in the unbound scalable font.

This command designates the pitch for the primary font.

Esc) s#H (27) (41) (115) #(72) <1Bh><29h><73h>#<48h>

  • This command designates the pitch for the secondary font.
  • = the number of characters to be printed per inch. However, the actual size range is defined in combination with the character height.

  • The printer's in-built bitmap fonts all have a pitch of either 10, 12 or 16.66 characters per inch, and you can specify any of these as follows:
Esc&k0S (10 cpi)
Esc&k2S (16.66 cpi)
Esc&k4S (12 cpi) 
  • The selection will apply to whichever font you are currently specifying (primary or secondary).
  • If the printer doesn't have the specified size font, the next largest size font is used. If the printer doesn't have a larger sized font, the next smallest one is used.
  • This value is ignored by the printer when a proportional spaced font is selected.

5.2.13. Font orientation

The printer's built-in fonts are all portrait fonts. If you switch the orientation of the logical page to landscape and select a font, the printer will automatically create the landscape font in its memory. This saves you having to make the landscape font available by installing a card/cartridge or by downloading the font, but takes up printer memory and may cause the printer to run out of space when trying to compose complex page layouts.

5.2.14. Transparent print dataTransparent print data

Esc&p#X (character codes)

(27) (38) (112) #(88)

<1Bh><26h><70h>#<58h>

  • This command enables you to print characters which are normally unprintable.
  • is the number of bytes of data that follow the command.

  • Each byte of data is interpreted as a character code and the corresponding character in the currently selected symbol set is printed (if there is one). You can use this command to print the symbols in the character set which do not appear on the keyboard.
  • If there is no character in the current symbol set corresponding to a specified code, a space is printed.
  • The command is useful when using character sets like the IBM All Character Set in which every single code has a corresponding character.
  • Any control codes within the data will have no effect. The control code byte is treated as a character code.

5.2.15. Esc&d#D

(27)(38)(100)#(68)

<1Bh><26h><64h>#<44h>

• This command enables the underline facility.
- # is either 0 or 3. A value of 0 signifies fixed underlining, 3 specifies floating underlining.
- Fixed underlining means that the underline is drawn in the same place for all the characters of a particular font.
- Floating underlining means that the underline is drawn in the same place for all the characters on a particular line.
- The command below disables the underline facility.

5.3. Downloadable font manipulation

Fonts that you have bought on diskette can be downloaded to the printer from diskette or hard disk using the DOS COPY command or a font downloading applications program. To create your own fonts you can use PCL commands to send the various blocks of data that comprise a do(wnloadable font. There are also a number of PCL commands that enable you to manage fonts that you have already downloaded (both those that you have bought and those you may have created yourself).

If you are using commercially available fonts consult the documentation that came with them for information on how best to send them to the printer.

5.3.1. Font ID

Esc&*c#D (27) (38) (42) (99) # (68) <1Bh><26h><2Ah><63h>#<44h>

  • This command identifies the numerical ID of the font on which subsequent operations will be performed.
  • is the font ID number.

  • Use this command to specify the ID number of a font that you are about to download, or of a font already in printer memory that you want to perform a particular operation on.
  • If you specify the number of a font that already exists in memory and then download a new font from your computer, the new font will overwrite the original font and assume the ID number that you specified.

5.3.2. Operations on downloaded fonts

Esc*c#F (27) (38) (42) (99) #(70) <1Bh><26h><2Ah><63h>#<46h>

  • This command performs an operation on one or more downloaded fonts.
  • identifies the operation to be performed.

  • = 0 Delete all downloaded fonts from the printer's memory.

  • = 1 Delete all temporary fonts from the printer's memory.

    (Fonts can be made permanent so as to be saved when the printer is reset - see below).
  • = 2 Delete the font (whose ID number was most recently specified) from the printer's memory.

  • = 3 Delete the character (whose character code was most recently specified) from the font (whose ID number was most recently specified).

    (The command for specifying a character code is given in the section entitled Creating Downloadable Fonts).
  • = 4 Make the font (whose ID number was most recently specified) temporary

  • = 5 Make the font (whose ID number was most recently specified) permanent

  • = 6 Make/Assign a copy of the current font (primary or secondary) with the last specified ID number.

  • = 1026 Delete the font (whose ID number was most recently specified) from the storage device.

  • = 1028 Delete all download fonts in the storage device.

  • = 1029 Save the font (whose ID number was most recently specified) into the storage device. (All download fonts in the storage device are permanent fonts.)

  • Note: #=1026, 1028, 1029 are available only when a storage device is installed into the printer.

5.3.3. Selecting a downloaded font

Esc (#X (27) (40) #(88) <1Bh><28h>#<58h>

- This command selects a downloaded font as the primary font.

Esc) #X (27) (41) #(88) <1Bh><29h>#<58h>

  • This command selects a downloaded font as the secondary font.
  • is the ID number of the downloaded font.

5.4. Creating Downloadable Fonts

5.4.1. Downloading

You can download existing fonts (that is, ones that you have bought or ones that you have created previously) using either a font downloading application program or the DOS command

COPY/b PRN

In addition, some word-processing and DeskTop publishing programs will automatically download the fonts that have been used in a document when that document is printed.

Alternatively, you can create a new downloadable font and download the necessary blocks of data that comprise the downloadable font using PCL commands.

To send a font, you must send

* a font descriptor block followed by the character code
* a character descriptor
* data for each character

The printer can download 3 types of fonts.

Bitmap fonts, Bound Scalable fonts and Unbound Scalable fonts.

5.4.2. Sending the font descriptor

Esc)s#W (font descriptor data) (27)(40)(115) #(58) <1Bh><28h><73h>#<88h>

  • This command sends the font descriptor to the printer.
    • # should be in the range 0 to 32767.
  • is the number of bytes in the descriptor.

  • Characters are designed on a notional grid known as the character cell. The positioning and shape of each character on the grid defines its size, shape and alignment to the other characters in the font.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Sending the font descriptor - 1

text_image Cell width Cell height x-height Baseline distance Baseline Underline distance Underline thickness
  • The Font descriptor has information for the whole character set. When this font descriptor is sent to the printer with a font header to identify the font ID, the descriptor parameters become the basis of the downloaded fonts.
  • The data format for each type of font descriptor block is shown below.

- Baseline position (UI) -

Bitmap font - the height in dots from the top of the character cell to the baseline. The units of dots is the same as the defined font resolution. This number can be in the range 0 to (cell height - 1).

Intellifont scalable - a Y coordinate in the design cell.

TrueType scalable - the height in dots from the top of the character cell to the baseline. This should be set to 0.

  • Cell width (UI) - ignored by these printers. The width in dots of the character cell. This can be from 1 to 65535.
  • Cell height (UI) - ignored by these printers. The height in dots of the character cell. This can be from 1 to 65535.
  • Orientation (UB) - 0(portrait), 1(landscape), 2(reverse portrait) or 3(reverse landscape). Ignored by these printers.
  • Spacing (B) - the type of spacing, 0 (fixed pitch) or 1 (proportional spacing).
  • Symbol set (UI) - a symbol set ID consists of a number and a letter. The symbol set attribute value is calculated as follows: symbol set = (32 x number) + (ASCII value of letter - 64). For example, Math-8 has the symbol set ID '8M' so it would be encoded as (32 x 8) + (77 - 64) = 269.

- Pitch (UI) - This value defines the default spacing for each point size in 1/4 dots. Combined with Pitch Extended to specify the pitch of the font in 1/1024 dots. This is available for fixed pitch font characters including the space character, and the space character of proportional spacing fonts.

For example, in case of a 17 cpi font (at 600 dpi),

$$ \frac {1 \text { inch }}{1 7 \text { chara. }} \times \frac {6 0 0 \mathrm{dpi}}{1 \text { inch }} \times \frac {4}{1} = 1 4 1. 1 7 6 4 6 $$

the value of Pitch (UI) should be 141.

The remainder of 0.17646 is calculated as pitch extended:

$$ \frac {0 . 1 7 6 4 6}{4} \times \frac {2 5 6}{1} = 4 5. 1 7 3 7 6 $$

the value for pitch extended is 45.

For Intellifont-scalable fonts only, the default HMI is calculated as follows.

Default HMI (in dots) = (300 x master design pitch x required point size) /

{Master x Resolution /(height

Default HMI (in dots) =

(300 x master design pitch x required point size) / {72.307 x scale factor}

Height (UI) - specifies the height of the font in 1/4 dots. Combined with Height Extended to specify the height of the font in 1/1024 dots. This value can be converted to the point size (1/72").

For example, in case of a 10 point font at 300 dpi,

$$ 1 0 \text { point } \times \frac {1}{7 2} \times \frac {3 0 0 \text { dots }}{1 \text { inch }} \times \frac {4}{1 \text { dots }} = 1 6 6. 6 6 7 $$

This value is normally set to 2000 for Intellifont and should be set to zero for TrueType fonts.

  • x-height (UI) - ignored by the HL Series printers. This word specifies the height (for Bitmap fonts) or the distance from the baseline (for Scalable fonts) of a lower case 'x' in 1/4 dots.

The Typeface family number can be 0 to 4095. This value is calculated as follows;

(TrueType base value) + (Vendor value × 4096) = Typeface Family

  • Serif style (UB) -
    Bitmap font - ignored by these printers.
    Scalable font - values for the lower 6 bits are ignored and values for the upper 2 bits indicates the serif style. Bit 6 indicates sans serif and bit 7 indicates serif.
  • Quality (UB) - ignored by these HL Series printers. This byte specifies the fonts quality according to the following table.
  • Placement (SB) - ignored by these HL Series printers. This byte specifies the placement of characters relative to the baseline according to the following table.
    • Underline distance (SB) -
    Bitmap fonts - the distance in dots from the baseline to the underline. A positive value places the underline above the baseline, a negative value places it below the baseline. A value of 0 places it on the baseline. Scalable fonts - ignored by these printers. This value should be set to 0.
    • Underline height (UB) - the height of underline itself.
    Bitmap fonts - this value is fixed at 3 dots.
    Scalable fonts - ignored by these printers. This value should be set to 0.
    • Text height (UI) - ignored by these HL Series printers.
    This word specifies the spacing between successive lines of text in 1/4 dots for bitmap fonts and in design units for scalable fonts. This is normally about 1.2 times the fonts height.
    • Text width (UI) - ignored by these HL Series printers.
    This word specifies the average width of the fonts lowercase characters in 1/4 dots for bitmap fonts and in design units for scalable fonts.
  • First code (UI) - ignored by these printers. This word specifies the character code of the first (lowest numbered) printable character in the font.
  • Last code (UI) - specifies the character code of the last (highest numbered) character in the font. If this value is less than 255, it is recognized as 00FFH.
  • Pitch extended (UB) - the fractional part of the character pitch. For a 17 cpi font the bytes value would be calculated as follows:
  • 1200/17 = 70.588 The Pitch byte takes the value 70.
  • Pitch Extended = 0.588 x 256 = 150 (rounded down).
    (According to HP's manual, this should be set to 0.) This printer ignores the value for scalable fonts.
  • Height extended (UB) - the fractional part of the height of the font. For a 10 point font the bytes value would be calculated as follows:
    1200 x 10/72 = 166.667, the Height byte takes the value 166
    Height Extended = 0.667 × 256 = 170 (rounded down).
    Point size = (character height × 256 + extended character height) × 300 / (72 × 1024)
    (According to HP's manual, this should be set to 0.) These printers ignore the value for scalable fonts.
  • Cap height data (UI) - ignored by these HL Series printers. This word specifies for the font the distance between the baseline and the top of an unaccented capital letter (for example, 'H'), as a percentage of the font's em rule, '—'.

  • Font number (ULI) - ignored by these HL Series printers. This 4-byte field specifies the number assigned to the font by the vending company. The number is stored as a hexadecimal value in the lower three bytes, bytes 44, 45 and 46.

  • Font name (16 bytes) - ignored by these HL Series printers. This 16-byte field can be used to specify a name for the font.
    • X-Resolution (UI) - specifies the resolution in the X-scan direction.

This value can be 300 or 600 for bitmap fonts, and is normally set to 2540 for Intellifont scalable fonts. This is used for scaling the X-coordinates of font data to the required point size.

After scaling ( in dots ) =

(300 x the required point size x X-coordinate) / {72.307 x scale factor (8782)}

After scaling ( in dots ) =

(300 × the required point size × X-coordinate) / {Master X-resolution × (Height / 8)}

- Y-Resolution (UI) - specifies the resolution in the Y-scan direction.

This value should be set to 300 or 600 dpi for special bitmap fonts and is not available for Bitmap fonts and TrueType fonts.

This is normally set to 2540 for Intellifont -scalable fonts and is used for scaling the Y-coordinates of the font data to the required point size.

This value is calculated as:

After scaling (in dots) = (300 x the required point size x Y-coordinate) / (72.307 x scale factor (8782))

After scaling ( in dots ) = (300 x the required point size x Y-coordinate) /

{ M x (Height / 8) } s

- Scale Factor (UI) - specifies the number of design units per Em. This value can be the unit for the metrics of Intellifont / TrueType scalable fonts.

This is normally set to 8782 and is calculated for Intellifont as follows:

• Scale factor x 72.307 = resolution x height / 8
- This is normally set to 2048 for TrueType fonts.
- Master Underline position (UI) - Specifies the distance from the baseline to the top of the underline in design units and this is an alternative for "Underline Position (bit 30)" only for scalable fonts.
- Master Underline height (UI) - specifies the height of the underline itself in design units and this is an alternative for "Underline Thickness (bit 31)" only for scalable fonts.
- Font Scaling Technology (UB) - specifies the type of font scaling technology for any scalable fonts.
- Variety (UB) - only for TrueType fonts, this value should be set to 0.
- OR (LRE) Threshold (UI) - specifies the pixel size in design units. This is switched on between scaling the font and its rasterization.
- Global Italic Angle (SI) - specifies the italic angle as a tangent relative to the vertical. The value 0 makes upright fonts.
- Global Intellifont Data Size (UI) - indicates the size of the global Intellifont data block.
- Global Intellifont Data - includes the global intellifont data.
- Character Complement (Array of UB) - identifies the symbol set compatibility for unbound fonts used with the Character Requirement flag in the symbol set descriptor.

Signed integer (SI) -32768 to 32767

Unsigned byte (UB) 0 to 255

Boolean - 0 or 1

  • Format (UB) - 4 for bitmap fonts.
  • Continuation (B) - signifies whether the character data represents a new character (0) or is a continuation of the character described by the previous character descriptor block and its data (non-zero). If the continuation byte is non-zero the bytes following it are interpreted as character data.
  • Descriptor size (UB) - 14 for bitmap fonts.
  • Class (UB) - 1 for bitmap fonts, 2 for compressed bitmap fonts. Bitmap fonts are described using uncompressed raster data. Compressed bitmap fonts character data is encoded as follows. The first byte of a line of data contains the number of times that the line is successively repeated. The second byte indicates the number of successive white pixels that start the line and the third byte indicates the number of successive black pixels that follow the white pixels. Subsequent even and odd numbered bytes indicate the number of successive white and black pixels respectively that make up the line. If there are more than 255 successive pixels of a single color this is indicated by a byte set to 255 followed by a byte set to 0 followed by a byte indicating the remaining number of pixels of that color. The width of each line is determined by the character width attribute. All rows must contain the same number of pixels. The total number of pixels on each row must equal the character width attribute.
  • Orientation (UB) - the orientation of the character. 0 = portrait, 1 = landscape, 2 = reverse portrait or 3 = reverse landscape. This attribute setting must match the orientation specified in the font descriptor block.
  • Left offset (SI) - the distance between the character reference point and the leftmost dot of the character on the grid. The offset can be from -16384 to 16383.
  • Top offset (SI) - the distance between the character reference point and the topmost dot of the character on the grid. The offset can be from -16384 to 16383.
  • Character width (UI) - the width of the download character in grid dots. This can be in the range 1 to 16384.
  • Character height (UI) - the height of the download character in grid dots. This can be in the range 1 to 16384.
  • Delta X (UI) - the horizontal distance from the bottom left hand corner of the character's grid that the cursor is moved after the character is printed. The attribute is specified in units of 1/1200" and can be in the range -32768 to 32767.

6. USING GRAPHICS

This HL Series printer affords the user considerable flexibility in the creation of graphic images. Vector, raster and rectangle graphics are available, all of which allow a range of shading and filling options. The HP-GL/2 graphics commands that are supported are described in the HP-GL/2 section of this manual.

6.1. Source, Pattern and Destination

We refer to a printing model in which a source image (the image to be drawn) is applied to a destination image (simply the graphics or text that already exist on the page). The source image consists of white space and non-white areas. The non-white areas are covered by a pattern of some description. The pattern may simply be solid black or it may itself consist of white and non-white areas, for example the pattern may consist of vertical spaced lines. You can specify the way in which the white and dark areas of the entire source image and the white and dark areas of the pattern interact with the destination image to produce the finished effect.

For example

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Source, Pattern and Destination - 1

    B --> D["Patterned Image 1"]
    B --> E["Patterned Image 2"]
    B --> F["Patterned Image 3"]
    B --> G["Patterned Image 4"]

6.1.1. Set source transparency

Esc*v#N (27) (42) (118) #(78)

<1Bh><2Ah><76h>#<4Eh>

• This command sets the source image transparency.
- # is either 0 or 1. Set # to 0 to select transparent mode and to 1 to specify opaque mode.
- Transparent mode means that parts of the destination image will be visible through the white space areas of the source image when the source image has been printed on top of the destination image.
- Opaque mode means that parts of the destination image will not be visible through the white space areas of the source image when the source image has been printed on top of the destination image.

For example

    A["Pattern Source image"] --> B["Destination image"]
    B --> C["With transparent source image"]
    B --> D["With opaque source image"]
    C --> E["Possible results"]
    D --> E

6.1.2. Set pattern transparency

Esc*v#O (27) (42) (118) #(79)

<1Bh><2Ah><76h>#<4Fh>

• This command sets the pattern transparency.
- # is either 0 or 1. Set # to 0 to select transparent mode and to 1 to specify opaque mode.
- Transparent mode means that parts of the destination image will be visible through the patterned areas of the source image when the source image has been printed on top of the destination image. If the pattern is a solid black fill obviously you will not be able to see any of the destination image through the patterned areas of the source image.
- Opaque mode means that the destination image will not be visible through the patterned areas of the source image when the source image has been printed on top of the destination image.

For example

    E --> G["Possible results"]
    F --> G

6.1.3. Set area fill identity

Esc*c#G

(27) (42) (99) # (71)

<1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<47h>

  • This command sets the pattern ID of a shading tone, a fill pattern or a user-defined pattern for subsequent selection with the Set Pattern Type command.
  • 1 \~ 100 specify the percentage of a gray scale.

  • 1 \~ 6 select a fill pattern.

  • 1 \~ 32767 select a user-defined pattern.

  • You can specify a gray scale tone from 1 to 100. To use the specified tone for shading you must then select one of the two gray scale pattern options with the Set Pattern Type command.

6.1.7. Set pattern type

Esc*v#T (27) (42) (118) #(84) <1Bh><2Ah><76h>#<54h>

  • This command selects the fill pattern (black, white, gray scale or cross-hatch pattern) for use with subsequent graphics operations.
  • is in the range 0 to 4 or 130.

  • = 0 selects solid black as the fill pattern.

  • = 1 selects white as the fill pattern (all source images will be completely white).

  • = 2 selects one of eight gray scales. Specify the gray scale you require as a percentage (0-100%) with the Set Area Fill Identity command.

  • = 3 selects the cross-hatch pattern you choose with the Set Area Fill Identity.

  • = 4 selects the user-defined pattern

  • = 130 selects one of the 64 gray scales. You can specify the gray scale you require as a percentage (0-100%) with the Set Area Fill Identity command. This feature is unique to these HL-Series printers.

6.2. Plotting Rectangles

Drawing rectangles is a basic case of printing graphics: the source image consists solely of the rectangle itself. Thus only the pattern transparency has any bearing on the final effect - the source transparency is irrelevant.

6.2.1. Cursor position

Position the cursor using the commands described in the chapter entitled "The Page". You can use units, decipoints or rows and columns as coordinate units. Remember that the y-coordinate value goes up as the cursor moves down the logical page.

6.2.2. Set rectangle width

Esc*c#A (27) (42) (99) #(65) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<41h>

- This command sets the width of the rectangle to be printed in dots.

- # is the number of dots.

Esc*c#H (27) (42) (99) #(72) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<48h>

  • This command sets the width of the rectangle to be printed in decipoints.
  • is the number of decipoints.

6.2.3. Set rectangle height

Esc*c#B (27) (42) (99) # (66) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<42h>

  • This command sets the height of the rectangle to be printed in dots.

  • is the number of decipoints.

6.2.4. Draw filled rectangle

Esc*c#P (27) (42) (99) # (80) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<50h>

  • This command fills a rectangular area with the specified shading option.
  • is 0 to 5 or 130.

  • # = 0 uses solid black as the fill pattern.
  • # = 1 uses white as the fill pattern.
  • = 2 selects the gray scale you chose with the Set Area Fill Identity command as the fill pattern.

  • = 3 selects the cross-hatch pattern you chose with the Set Area Fill Identity.

  • = 4 selects the user defined pattern, which is the ID number selected by the set Area Fill Identity.

  • = 5 uses the pattern specified by the combination of the most recent Set Area Fill Identity command and the most recent Set Pattern Type command.

  • = 130 selects one of the sixty-four gray scales. You can specify the gray scale you require as a percentage (0-100%) with the Set Area Fill Identity command. This feature is unique to these HL Series printers.

6.3. Raster Graphics

6.3.1. Positioning the cursor

Position the cursor using the commands described in the chapter entitled "The Page", using dots, decipoints or rows and columns as coordinate units.

6.3.2. Set raster resolution

Esc*t#R (27) (42) (116) #(82) <1Bh><2Ah><74h>#<52h>

  • This command sets the raster image resolution in dots per inch.
  • is 75, 100, 150, 200, 300 or 600.

  • The lower the resolution you specify, the less printer memory your raster image will occupy.
  • Use this command before you issue a Begin Raster Graphics command, otherwise the resolution that you specify will not take effect until the next time you re-enter raster graphics mode.

6.3.3. Set high resolution control

EscCRRO (27) (13) (82) (79) <1Bh><0Dh><52h><4Fh>

• This command sets high resolution control off.
EscCRRL (27) (13) (82) (76) <1Bh><0Dh><52h><4Ch>
• This command sets high resolution control Light level.
EscCRRM (27) (13) (82) (77) <1Bh><0Dh><52h><4Dh>
• This command sets high resolution control Medium level.
EscCRRD (27) (13) (82) (68) <1Bh><0Dh><52h><44h>
• This command sets high resolution control Dark level.

6.3.4. Set raster image orientation

Esc*r#F (27) (42) (114) #(70) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<46h>

  • This command specifies the orientation of the raster image.
  • is 0 or 3.

  • = 0 determines that the image will be printed from left to right and from top to bottom within the current logical page.

  • = 3 determines that the image will be printed from left to right and from top to bottom within the current physical page irrespective of logical page orientation.

    • The default value of # is 3.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Set raster image orientation - 1

text_image X Y (X1, Y1) #=0 Portrait

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Set raster image orientation - 2

text_image (X1,Y1) = Cursor position X → Y (X1,Y1) #=0 Landscape

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Set raster image orientation - 3

text_image Y (X1, Y1) #=3 Portrait

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Set raster image orientation - 4

text_image Y X → ↓ ↓ (X1, Y1) #=3 Landscape

6.3.5. Set raster area height

Esc*r#T (27) (42) (114) #(84) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<54h>

  • This command sets the height of the raster image to be printed.
  • is the number of raster rows.

  • If you use this command after using a Start Raster Graphics or a Transfer Raster Data command, it does not take effect until after the next End Raster Graphics command.

6.3.6. Set raster area width

Esc*r#S (27) (42) (114) #(83) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<53h>

  • This command sets the width of the raster image to be printed.
  • is the number of dots at the specified dots per inch resolution.

  • If you use this command after using a Start Raster Graphics or a Transfer Raster Data command, it does not take effect until after the next End Raster Graphics command.

6.3.7. Set raster y-offset

Esc*b#Y (27) (42) (98) #(89) <1Bh><2Ah><62h>#<59h>

  • This command sets the offset (number of blank rows to be skipped) for the raster image to be printed.
  • is the number of rows that are left blank at the top of the image.

  • must be in the range 0-32767.

  • This command is only effective in raster graphics mode, that is, after a Start Raster Graphics mode command.

6.3.8. Set compression mode

Esc*b#M (27) (42) (98) # (77) <1Bh><2Ah><62h>#<4Dh>

Identifies the method of compression used to encode the raster image that is to be sent to the printer.

  • is 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 1152 or 1024.

  • # = 0 signifies no compression is to be used.
  • = 1 indicates that run-length encoding is to be used. The raster data bytes are transmitted in pairs. The second byte of each pair specifies the raster output, the first byte specifies the number of times the second byte is successively repeated. A value of 0 for the first byte indicates a single occurrence of the second byte, a value of 1 indicates two consecutive occurrences of the second byte and so on.

  • = 2 indicates that TIFF (tagged image file format) encoding is to be used. In this format the data is transmitted in groups of bytes. The first byte of each group is a control byte and defines how the subsequent data byte or bytes should be interpreted, and how many data bytes there are before the next control byte. If the two's complement value of the control byte is in the range -1 to -127, the following byte is a repeated data byte. The number of successive occurrences of the data byte is given by the absolute value of the control byte plus one - that is, if the control byte is -6, the following data byte is repeated 7 times. If the value of the control byte is in the range 0-127 the bytes which follow arc unencoded raster data. The number of data bytes is given by the absolute value of the control byte plus one - that is, if the control byte is 9, the following ten bytes arc unencoded data. If a control byte has the two's complement value -128 it is ignored and the next byte is treated as a control byte.

- # = 3 indicates that delta row compression is to be used. In this method byte sequences identify how each raster row differs from the last row that was transmitted. The first byte identifies the number of consecutive bytes (the value of the most significant 3 bits plus 1) to be changed and the position in the line at which to start substituting the replacement bytes (the least significant 5 bits plus 1). Hence, if the command byte has a 3 in the top three bits and 10 in the bottom five bits, the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th bytes of the last row will be replaced by the four data bytes that follow.

If the least significant 5 bits are all 1, the next byte is treated as a further offset value and its value is added to 32 to calculate the offset. If this byte in turn is all ones the next byte is also treated as a continuation byte and its value is added to the offset and so on until a byte whose value is not 255 is encountered.

This combination of command bytes and replacement bytes is used to specify all the differences between the last raster row sent (the seed row) and the new row to be transmitted. When the new row has been sent it becomes the new seed row.

- # = 5 indicates that adaptive compression is to be used.

This compression compresses multiple rows (a block) into one transfer graphics command.

Most other compression methods compress only one row to one transfer graphics command.

One transfer graphic command (ESC *b##W) can contain only up to 32,767 bytes.

As mode 5 compression compresses multiple rows, the amount of transferred data may become large.

If compressed data exceeds this limit, reduce the number of rows in the block.

We can use mode 0 to mode 3 compression to compress each row. We can even compress empty (white) rows and duplicate rows with these compression methods.

- Command byte

Mode 5 compressed data consists of multiple elements. Each element contains 3 header bytes at the beginning.

The first byte of the header bytes is a command byte.

First byte Second, third byte
0Unencodedbytes of data
1 Run-length Encoding Number of 2TIFF
3 Delta Row compression
4 Empty Row Number of empty row or repetition
5 Duplicate Row

Command byte

0 - This element is an uncompressed row. The next two bytes contain the byte count of the uncompressed data. Uncompressed data follows the header.

1 - This element identifies a compressed row. Compression method is mode 1. The next two bytes (upper byte first) contain the byte count of the compressed data. Compressed data follows the header.

2 - This element identifies a compressed row. Compression method is mode 2. The next two bytes (upper byte first) contain the byte count of the compressed data. Compressed data follows the header

3 - This element identifies a compressed row. Compression method is mode 3. The next two bytes (upper byte first) contain the byte count of the compressed data. Compressed data follows the header

4 - This element identifies multiple empty rows. The next two bytes (upper byte first) contain the empty row count.

5 - This element identifies duplicate rows. The next two bytes (upper byte first) contain the duplicate row count.

- # = 9 Mode 9 compression

Like mode 3 compression, this mode 9 compression data contains only the difference of the current row from the preceding row.

Replacement data often consists of a repetition of a particular byte in mode 3 compression.

Mode 9 compression is effective in such cases.

Simple mode 9 compression data consists of a command byte and the replacement data.

A Command byte consists of 3 parts. These are the control bit, the offset count and the replacement count.

The Control bit is the most significant bit (bit 7) of a control byte.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Command byte - 1

text_image 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 Offset count Replacement count-1 Control bit

If the control bit is 0, replacement data is not repeated data. Bits 6 to 3 contain the offset count. This field value is from 0 to 15. If this value is 15, the next byte of the control bytes is an optional offset count. The value of this optional offset count byte is from 0 to 255. If this optional offset count value is 255, then the next byte is another (second) optional offset count byte. Optional offset count bytes will continue until the value is less than 255. The total Offset value is the sum of the offset count in the control byte and all the optional offset bytes.

Bits 2 to 0 of the control byte contains the replacement count - 1. The value is from 0 to 7. If this value is 7, optional replacement byte(s) follow the control byte or optional offset byte(s) (if any).

If the first optional replacement count byte is 255, then a second optional count byte follows the first optional count byte. Optional offset count bytes will continue until the value becomes less than 255. The addition of the replacement count in the control byte and all optional replacement count bytes gives the total replacement count.

Replacement data bytes follow the control byte and any optional offset bytes and any optional replacement count bytes.

- # = 1152 indicates that CCITT G3/G4 data compression is to be used.

This format is popular in optical document storage areas as this compression is effective to store black and white type pictures. As G3/G4 format does not have picture size/resolution information, the printer requires a header at the beginning of the picture data. The header size is 94 Bytes. Both the header and the picture data are transferred by the ESC*b###W(###=data length) command. The normal PCL transfer graphics data command has a limitation on the data size and ### should not exceed 32767. Unlike other modes, this mode is special and does not have the 32767 size limitation. The data must have the following structure - Header and Picture data. The values in this mode are little endians.

- # = 1024 indicates TIFF format. This is valid only for 600 dpi data. The raster graphics data is transferred with the ESC*b###W (### = data length) command. The TIFF file follows this mode set command. This printer does not support LZW compression. Pages that contain TIFF data are printed in gray scale mode. The TIFF data contains the header, tag and print data.

This mode supports TIFF Version 5.0 file format. In this mode, the transfer graphics data count does not have a limitation of 32,767 bytes. This printer supports both "MM" (big endian) format and "II" (little endian) format. The Print model is not applied to this type of data transfer. The printer has some limitations on the TIFF format as follows:-

  1. Tag position has to be prior to the picture (strip) data.

  2. Compression tag - Tag ID : 259

The printer supports 1, 2, 3, 4 and 32773.

1 : no compression (Bits/Sample=1,4,8)

2 : CCITT G3 MH (Bits/Sample=1)

3 : CCITT G3 MR (Bits/Sample=1)

4 : CCITT G4 (Bits/Sample=1)

32773 : Pack Bits (Bits/Sample=1)

  1. Sample/pixel - Tag ID : 277

This value should be 1. This means the printer accepts only monochrome TIFF files.

  1. Bits/Sample - Tag ID: 258

The printer supports 1,4 and 8.

If you specify 4 or 8 and the printer resolution is 600 dpi, the printer prints the page using APT.

6.3.9. Start raster transfer

Esc*r#A (27) (42) (114) #(65) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<41h>

  • This command signals the start of the transfer of a raster image to the printer.
  • is 0 or 1.

  • = 0 denotes that the image will be printed starting from the left edge of the logical page.

  • = 1 denotes that the image will be printed starting from the current cursor position.

  • The transfer of raster data to the printer continues until either an End Raster Transfer command is sent or a command other than Send Raster Data, Set Compression Mode or Set Raster Y-Offset is sent.
  • This command sends a single row of the raster image to the printer for printing.
  • signifies the number of bytes to be sent.

  • If more data is transmitted than can be fitted onto one row of the specified raster area, the excess data will be ignored.

6.3.11. Compress transfer graphics

Esc*b#C (27)(42)(98)#(67) <1Bh><2Ah><62h>#<43h>

  • As a more efficient alternative to the Send Raster Data command, this command sends a single row of the raster image to the printer for printing in a compressed form.
  • signifies the number of data bytes that the uncompressed row consisted of.

  • Pairs of bytes describe the data which follows.
  • If the MSB of the first byte of a pair is 1, the byte that follows the pair is repeated. The number held in the remaining fifteen bits of the byte pair is the number of times the data byte is repeated.
  • If the MSB of the first byte of the pair is 0, the bytes that follow the pair are not repeated. The number held in the remaining fifteen bits of the byte pair is the number of bytes of unrepeated raster data that follow.
  • A raster row is made up of a sequence of byte pair-image data combinations.

6.3.12. End raster transfer

Esc*rB (27) (42) (114) (66) <1Bh><2Ah><72h><42h>

  • This command signals the end of a transfer of a raster image to the printer.
  • After execution of this command the cursor is positioned a distance of one raster row (at the last specified number of dots per inch) down from the bottom of the raster area.

Esc*rC (27) (42) (114) (67) <1Bh><2Ah><72h><43h>

  • This command signifies the end of the raster graphic data transfer and this is a modified version of the ESC *rB command.
  • After receiving this command, the printer resets the compression seed, compression mode and left-graphics margin to 0.
  • Also, the cursor is positioned a distance of one raster row (at the last specified number of dots per inch) down from the bottom of the raster data.
  • This command resets the compression mode setting to 0.
  • This command defaults the left graphics margin to 0.

6.3.13. Horizontal 1200-dpi image format mode (Raster Graphic Mode 1027)

The printer supports 1200 dpi printing for special image formats in 1200 dpi mode. We recommend that the installed printer memory is 10 Mbytes or more for 1200 dpi printing.

To set 1200 dpi mode,

  1. Set 1200 dpi printing mode by using the following PJL command:

@PJL SET RAS1200MODE = ON

  1. Choose PCL mode with the following PJL command:

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL

(If you select a mode other than PCL mode, 1200 dpi printing mode cannot be selected.)

The PCL Mode set command for 1200 dpi Image Format is ESC *b1027M. The transfer raster data command (ESC*b###W) then transfers horizontal 1200 dpi data.

<1200 dpi Graphic Data Compression Format>

This compression format consists of blocks of data 64 dots down the page starting from the leading edge of the paper.

i.e.: If the graphic data extends over three bands as shown in the following diagram, it transfers the data as three blocks of data:

ESC*b##W

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Horizontal 1200-dpi image format mode (Raster Graphic Mode 1027) - 1

bar | Band | Value | |---|---| | Block 1 | 128 | | Block 2 | 192 | | Block 3 | 256 | | Band 1 | 64 | | Band 2 | 64 | | Band 3 | 64 | | Band 4 | 64 | | Band 5 | 64 |

In mode 1027, the transfer graphic data command byte count does not have a limitation of 32,767 bytes.

The block data is composed as follows:

PositionData Description
0 - 1 Block length n - 2
2 - 3 Horizontal position dots from the left of the page
4 - 5 Vertical position dots from the leading edge of the page
6 Height dots number of image vertical dots
7 - 8 Width words number of image horizontal 16 bit words
9 - (n - 1) Compression data compression image data

i.e.: Data is at horizontal position = 256, vertical position = 64, height = 32 dots, width = 100 x 16 bit words (1600 dots), and compression data is 800 bytes;

a: Block length(807)

b: Horizontal position(256)

c: Vertical position(64)

d: Height dots(32)

e: Width words(100)

f: Compression image data

Data compression compresses the original image data word by word (16 bits).

The compressed data consists of both horizontal compression which uses 16 bit, 8 bit and 4 bit repeating patterns within 1 word or 2 words of data and vertical compression which indicates how many times to repeat the same data as in the previous line within 1 word of data.

• Non-compressed data

When the most significant bit in the first 2 bytes is 0, the printer goes into non-compression mode. The following 11 bits then indicate the number of words of data, the least significant 4 bits are not used. After that, the image data follows word by word.

6.4. Vector Graphics

For large-scale graphic images it is more efficient to use vector graphics. In LaserJet emulation mode you can set up the page area on which to print vector graphics images. The vector graphics capabilities of these HL Series printers working in HP-GL/2 mode are described in the HP-GL/2 section of this manual.

6.4.1. Enter HP-GL/2 mode

Esc%#B (27) (37) #(66) <1Bh><25h>#<42h>

• This command enters HP-GL/2 graphics mode.
- # = 0 the cursor is positioned at the previous HP-GL/2 cursor position. If this is the first time you have switched to HP-GL/2 mode since switching the printer on, the cursor is placed at the origin of the HP-GL/2 graphics window.
- # = 1 the cursor remains at its current position.

6.5. The Picture Frame

The PCL picture frame is the rectangular area of the page on which you can print graphic images. You can position and size the picture frame to suit your requirements and achieve effects such as scaling or distortion of vector graphics images.

6.5.1. The default picture frame

The default picture frame size and position is determined by the default logical page size and text length for each given paper size.

6.5.2. Set picture frame anchor point

Esc*c0T (27) (42) (99) (48) (84) <1Bh><2Ah><63h><30h><54h> 

- This command sets the anchor point (top left hand corner) of the picture frame to the current cursor position.

6.5.3. Set picture frame vertical size

Esc*c#Y (27) (42) (99) #(89) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<59h> 

- This command sets the vertical size of the picture frame.

- # is the height of the picture frame in decipoints.

6.5.4. Set picture frame horizontal size

Esc*c#X (27) (42) (99) #(88) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<58h> 

• This command sets the horizontal size of the picture frame.

- # is the width of the picture frame in decipoints.

6.5.5. Specify vertical plot size

Esc*c#L (27) (42) (99) # (76) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<4Ch> 

• This command specifies the height in inches of an imported image.

- # is the height of the image in inches.

- # can be in the range 0 to 32767 and can have up to four places of decimals.

- This command is only applicable to existing graphic images which are being imported from an application.

- The imported graphic will be scaled so that its height matches that of the HP-GL/2 graphics window.

6.5.6. Specify horizontal plot size

Esc*c#K (27) (42) (99) # (75) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<4Bh> 

- This command specifies the width in inches of the image being imported.

- # is the width of the image in inches.

- # can be in the range 0 to 32767 and can have up to four places of decimals.

- This command is only applicable to existing graphic images which are being imported from an application.

- The imported graphic will be scaled so that its width matches that of the HP-GL/2 graphics window.

7. MACROS

7.1. The Purpose of a Macro

A macro is a sequence of commands that you wish to execute. You can specify the command sequence and download it to the printer after which you can execute it with a single command. For example, you might wish to draw a raster image at the top of each page you print. Rather than sending the same sequence of commands every time you print a new page, it is more efficient to define a macro to draw the image and store the macro in the printer's memory. Having done this, you can draw the picture on each page simply by running the macro, that is, with a single command.

Like downloaded fonts, macros take up printer memory. To alleviate this, some macros are available on cartridges that can be plugged into the printer's cartridge slots. A cartridge-based macro must have a unique ID number or else you will not be able to access it. If a downloaded macro has the same ID number as a cartridge macro, all references to the ID number will be interpreted as references to the downloaded macro. To access the cartridge macro you would first have to delete the downloaded macro.

Another method of storing Macros is uniquely available on the HL-1660e/2060/2400C/2400Ce/3400CN/2600CN/3450CN/2460/7050/3260N/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2700CN printers. Macros can be saved to these cards as required and then executed from the card. For the HL-2400Ce/3400CN/2600CN/3450CN/2460/3260N printers, Macros can be also saved to and executed from the optional internal hard disk drive installed as required. A delete facility is also included to allow the removal of macros when no longer required. The rules for identifying and calling Macros from this card are exactly the same as for cartridge stored Macros detailed above. For the HL-

1270N/1470N/1650/1670N/1850/1870N/5070N/5170DN/6050/6050D/6050DN/5270DN/5280DW/5380DN//5440D/5450DN/5470DW/6180DW/L2360DN/L2360DW/L2365DW/2560DN/2569DW/S7000DN/L3270CDW/L3230CDW/L3230CDN/L3210CW/3190CDW/3160CDW printer, Macros can be stored in the incorporated Flash memory.

One macro can call another, however, only two levels of nesting are permitted.

A printer reset will delete macros from the printer's memory unless they have been explicitly designated as permanent.

The PCL picture frame commands, the printer reset command and HP-GL/2 graphic language commands cannot be invoked from within a macro.

7.2. Defining a Macro

To define a macro you must first assign an ID number to it, then send to the printer a Start Macro Definition command, the macro definition itself (consisting of a sequence of PCL commands) and finally an End Macro Definition command.

7.2.1. Macro ID

Esc&f#Y (27) (38) (102) #(89) <1Bh><26h><66h>#<59h>

  • This command assigns an identity number to a macro that is to be downloaded, or references an existing macro in the printer's memory.
  • is the ID number of a macro. The ID number must be in the range 0-32767.

  • If you specify the ID number of an existing macro and then download a new macro definition to the printer, the new macro will overwrite the existing macro.

7.2.2. Start macro definition

Esc&f0X (27) (38) (102) (48) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><30h><58h>

- This command signifies that the following commands constitute a macro definition.

7.2.3. End macro definition

Esc&f1X (27) (38) (102) (49) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><31h><58h>

• This command terminates the macro definition.

7.3. Running a Macro

Macros can be invoked in three different ways: they can be 'executed', 'called' or 'enabled for overlay'. When a macro is 'executed' it uses the current modified print environment. Any changes it makes to the environment are permanent. A macro that is 'called' also uses the current modified print environment, however, any changes it makes to the environment are discarded when the macro has performed its function. When a macro is 'enabled' for overlay, the macro's command sequence is performed as the final operation every time a page is printed. Overlaid macros use the overlay environment. The overlay environment is a combination of the user default environment and the modified print environment. This environment is effective only while the macro is running.

Page length Paper source

Page size Number of copies

Orientation Cursor position stack

Registration

  • This command executes the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.
  • Any changes made to the modified print environment during the execution of a macro, such as font selection or margin settings, are retained after macro execution has been completed.

7.3.2. Call macro

Esc&f3X (27) (38) (102) (51) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><33h><58h>

  • This command calls the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.
  • Any changes made to the modified print environment during a macro call, such as raster graphics settings, are temporary and remain in effect only while the macro is running. They are not retained after the macro has finished.

7.3.3. Enable macro for overlay

Esc&f4X (27) (38) (102) (52) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><34h><58h>

- This command overlays the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.

7.3.4. Disable macro for overlay

Esc&f5X (27) (38) (102) (53) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><35h><58h>

- This command stops overlaying the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.

7.4. Handling Macros

- This command deletes all macros from the printer's memory.

7.4.2. Delete all temporary macros

Esc&f7X (27) (38) (102) (55) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><37h><58h>

- This command deletes all temporary macros from the printer's memory. Temporary macros are those which have not been made permanent with the Esc&f10X command.

7.4.3. Delete macro

Esc&f8X (27) (38) (102) (56) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><38h><58h>

- This command deletes from printer memory the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.

7.4.4. Make macro temporary

Esc&f9X (27) (38) (102) (57) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><39h><58h>

- This command makes the macro whose ID number was specified most recently temporary (that is, it will not be retained if the printer is reset).

7.4.5. Make macro permanent

Esc&f10X (27) (38) (102) (49) (48) (88) <1Bh><26h><66h><31h><30h><58h>

- This command makes the macro whose ID number was specified most recently permanent (that is, it will be retained if the printer is reset).

7.4.6. Delete all macros from the storage device

7.4.9. Execute data

The data saved in the storage device by using Printer's control panel "SAVE DATA" function can be printed by the following command. It can also be printed by operation of the Printer control panel.

EscCR!#E (27)(13)(33)#(69) <1Bh><0Dh><21h>#<45h>

  • indicates the DATA ID.

  • Execute the data which is saved in the flash memory card or Hard Disk card.
  • The printer uses the current environment when this command is executed.
  • While executing the data, it is possible to change the emulation or reset the printer.
  • If this command is included in the last data which was saved by the "SAVE DATA" operation from the printer's control panel, the printer enters a permanent loop so that saved data such as DEMO printing keeps printing. To stop it, press the RESET key on the printer's control panel. This function is available only for the Flash ROM card.

7.4.10. AppleTalk configuration

Esc&b#W[key][value] (27)(38)(98) #(87)Key[value] <1Bh><26h><62h>#<57h>[Key]<20h>[value]

• # value can be from 0 to 32767.
- # stands for number of bytes in the data which is following this command.
• [key] should be [RENAME], [JOB] or [TYPE].

- If the key is [RENAME], this command allows the printer to change the name field of the AppleTalk name binding protocol.

<ESC>&b#WRENAME<sp>printername
printername should be specified with 1 to 31 characters.
The characters 00 toFF (except for $00, @, :, *, =, SC5) can be used for the printername.
$00 is used as the terminator.
If invalid characters are used, this command is ignored. 

- If the [key] is set to [JOB], this command changes the current job name.

<ESC>&b#WJOB<sp>jobname
All characters from $00 to SFF can be used for the jobname.
jobname can have a maximum of 127 characters. 

- If the [key] is set to [TYPE], this command allows the printer to change the type field of the AppleTalk name binding protocol.

<ESC>&b#WTYPE<sp>devicetype 

devicetype should be specified with 1 to 31 characters.

The characters \00 to SFF (except for \00, @, :, *, =, \C5) can be used for the devicetype. \00 is used as the terminator.

If invalid characters are used, this command is ignored.

7.4.11. MIO video I/O port control

The HL-1660e and 2060 printers have only the "VSREQ" signal for vertical synchronization that can be sent to the MIO port. This causes a short delay to the actual printing start after sending the VSREQ signal if the video controller is processing an interrupt. This delay causes an incorrect vertical printing position. To avoid the problem, the following command is useful.

EscCR!12340M (27) (13) (33) (49) (50) (51) (52) (48) (77)
<1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><30h><4Dh> 

- Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is closed.

EscCR!12341M (27) (13) (33) (49) (50) (51) (52) (49) (77)
<1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><31h><4Dh> 

- Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is opened.

EscCR!12342M (27) (13) (33) (49) (50) (51) (52) (50) (77)
<1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><32h><4Dh> 

- Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is opened and the print start command is sent to the printer engine immediately after sending the VSREQ signal.

8. STATUS READBACK

8.1. Introduction

Status readback features are explained in this section. The printer sends a status response message after receiving a request for its status by these commands. You can get the information as shown below from the printer.

  • available printer (user) memory
  • current available fonts and symbol sets
  • the ID numbers of downloaded macros and user-defined patterns to verify their presence

The computer system must have a device driver for bi-directional communication to get the printers status response. Bi-directional communication is supported on the HL Series printers by the printer driver that comes with these machines.

8.2. Memory Status request

You can identify the capacity of the user memory in the printer by using the memory status request. You can determine whether to execute "downloading" or not, by knowing the available memory and thus avoid printer memory overrun errors.

8.3. Entity Status

You can request the printer to send the status of its entities. A font, symbol set, macro or user-defined pattern in the printer can be an entity. In order to request entity status, a position type and a position unit must be identified first and then the entity request command must be sent.

Location type is the memory positions that contain the entities. Memory positions are internal ROM, RAM, cartridges/cards, the storage device and one additional position specified as "currently selected". Currently selected means the entity is active. However, "currently selected" can be applied only for fonts and user-defined patterns.

Location unit means a more specific position within the location type.

When the location type and unit are identified, you can request the status with the Inquire Status Readback Entity command. The entity (font, symbol set, macro or user-defined pattern) is specified by this command and the printer sends the response.

When an invalid request is sent, the printer sends an error response back.

8.4. Status Response

If a status request (command) is received, the printer produces the response data. The printer accumulates this data in an I/O status buffer and saves the response in this buffer until a user reads it or you turn off the printer.

The printer clears the status responses when Printer resolution, Page protection or Emulation language is changed.

The printer processes status requests and their related response in the order in which the printer receives them.

According to the internal printer operations, the number of responses the printer can accumulate is different. If you use multiple applications or share the printer, you should read the response to a request before making a new request.

You should use the Echo command so that your applications request will synchronize with the printer's responses, because an earlier application might have requested a status and the printer might retain it.

A status response gets routed back to the I/O port that it was requested from.

8.5. Status Response Syntax

All of the status responses begin with "PCL", Carriage Return control code and a Line Feed control code. The response is ended by a Carriage Return and a Line Feed control code. At the end of the transaction, status responses are ended by a Form Feed Control code. The fundamental syntax for the status response is as shown below.

PCL<CR> <LF>
INFO TITLE<CR><LF>
KEYWORDn=DATAn<CR><LF>
KEYWORDn=DATAn<CR><LF>
.
.
.
<FF> 

TITLE, KEYWORDn, and DATAn are strings which differ according to the status readback command being operated. One or more keyword lines related to the status readback response accompany every status readback response. The Echo command response differs from this and is as shown below.

PCL<CR><LF>
ECHO ValueField<CR><LF>
<FF> 

ValueField is the decimal number which comes from the Echo command value field.

For future printers, keywords might be added. Applications in which the status readback is used should be made to disregard lines with keywords they do not understand.

8.5.1. Set status readback location type

ESC*s#T (27) (42) (115) #(84) <1Bh><2Ah><73h>#<54h>

This command determines the status location type according to the value of #.

The location type is used in association with the location unit in order to specify an entity location for a status request.

  • = 0 specifies an invalid location. When the printer receives an Inquire Entity Command, an error response is generated. This is the default value. When you execute a printer reset, this value is reset to 0.

  • # = 1 specifies the currently selected location.
  • # = 2 specifies all locations.
  • = 3 specifies the printer's internal location.

  • = 4 specifies the downloaded entity.

  • = 5 specifies the user-installed card/cartridge

The location type setting is retained by the printer. When the printer does not send the set status readback location type command in order to change the setting for an entity request, then the printer uses the currently available location type setting.

8.5.2. Set status readback location unit

ESC*s#U (27) (42) (115) # (85) <1Bh><2Ah><73h>#<55h>

• The status location unit is selected by the value of #.
- The printer uses the location unit in association with the location type in order to specify an entity location for a status request.

TypeUnit
0-invalidlocation
1-currently selected location
2-alllocations
30all internal entities
40all downloaded entities
1downloaded entity as temporary
2downloaded entity as permanent
50All cartridge/cards
1the cartridge/card which has the highest priority.
nthe cartridge/card which has the lowest priority
  • When the location value is 0, 1 and 2, it ignores the unit value (which might be set to any value). The default value is 0, and whenever you reset the printer, the value is reset to the default value.
  • The location unit setting is retained by the printer. If the printer does not send this command to change the setting for an entity request, then it uses the currently available location units.
  • The printer may set the location type and unit in order. It does not identify any invalid combinations until it receives the inquire entity command. Hence, if the unit value is not in the correct range, it sets the unit to the value for a proper error response to be sent when the inquire entity command is received.

8.5.3. Inquire status readback entity

ESC*s#I (27) (42) (115) #(73) <1Bh><2Ah><73h>#<49h>

- Specifies the entity type and makes the printer produce a status response for the entity identified in the status readback location (type and unit).

ValueEntity type
0Font
1Macro
2User-defined Pattern
3Symbol set
4Font extended

8.5.4. Entity status response

The status response for an inquire status readback entity command differs according to the type of the requested entity.

8.5.5. Font response

Keywords returned from the printer depend on whether the printer font is a bitmap, unbound scalable or bound scalable. Below is the list of keywords for a font request.

SELECT =
SYMBOLSETS=
LOCTYPE=
LOCUNIT= 

Below is an example of a font status response for inquire status command.

Internal, bitmap, LetterGothic 16.66
Internal, unbound scalable, PcTennessee italic
Downloaded, bound scalable, Portugal 

Font status:

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>(8U<ESC>(s0p16.66h9.5v0s0b130T"
SELECT="<Esc>(slp_v1s0b4101T"
SYMBOLSETS="0D, 0I, 0N, 0S, 0U, 1E, 1F, 1G, ..."
SELECT="<Esc>(1U<Esc>(slp_v0s0b5111T<Esc>(22X" 

In a font status response, the "SELECT=" keyword line specifies the individual fonts. The font is identified by this line by specifying the font selection characteristics such as symbol set, spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typefaces. It returns the "SELECT=" for all font types.

In a status response, the five characters "<", "E", "s", "c", and "&>" represent an escape character.

Keywords following a "SELECT=" keyword mean the font specified by that "SELECT=" keyword.

8.5.6. Bitmap fonts

For bitmap fonts, the printer returns the "SELECT=" line. This specifies the font selection features. For instance, the printer returns the printer's internal, bitmap, Roman-8 LetterGothic font as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT"=<Esc>(8U<Esc>(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b130T" 

8.5.7. Bound scalable fonts

For bound scalable fonts, an underscore( "...slp__v0s...",") in the "SELECT=" line means it is a bound scalable font. Also, the related features are indicated. Either the height or pitch is indicated depending upon whether the font is proportional or fixed spaced. The printer, for instance, returns the printer's internal scalable Symbol font (proportionally spaced) as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>(19M<Esc>(s1p__v0s0b16901T" 

8.5.8. Unbound scalable fonts

For unbound fonts, the printer adds the "SYMBOLSETS=" keyword to specify the symbol sets which can be used, as the symbol sets can also be used with an unbound font, and there is no symbol set sequence in the "SELECT=" line. The printer, for instance, returns the printer's internal unbound scalable Brougham (medium, fixed spaced) font and Pc Tennessee (bold italic, proportional spaced) fonts as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>(s0p_h0s0b4099T"
SYMBOLSETS="0D, 0I, 0N, 0U, 1E, 1F, 1G, ..." 
SELECT="<Esc>(slp_v1s1s3b4101T"
SYMBOLSETS="0D, 0I, 0N, 0S, 0U, 1E, 1F, 1G, ..." 

8.5.9. Download fonts

For download fonts (bitmap, bound scalable or unbound scalable), the font ID number is included at the end of the "SELECT=" line. For instance, the printer returns a downloaded bitmap Brougham with a font ID of 40 and a downloaded, unbound scalable, Dom Casual typeface with a font ID of 79 as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>(8U<Esc>(s0p11.00h12.0v0s0b3T<Esc>(40X"
SELECT="<Esc>(s1p__v1s0b5259T<Esc>)79X"
SYMBOLSETS="0D, 0D, 0N, 0S, 0U, 1E, 1F, 1G, ..." 

8.5.10. Location type 1 (currently selected) font

For a status location type 1 (currently selected) font, the printer returns a single font, the printer font which is currently selected. The following are the keywords and data returned.

The printer returns the "LOCTYPE=" and "LOCUNIT=" after the "SELECT=" line for every font.

The "SELECT=" line changes for bound and unbound scalable fonts.

For all scalable fonts, the actual size (height or pitch) is indicated instead of the underscores. For unbound scalable fonts, the symbol set which is bound to the font at present is indicated. For all fonts, when the font is a secondary font, ")" replace the "(" characters in the "SELECT=" line.

"LOCTYPE=" specifies the location type of the font which is selected at present. The value field of the Set Status Readback Type command is related to the value returned.

"LOCUNIT=" specifies the location unit of the font which is selected at present. The value field of the Set Status Readback Unit command is related to the value returned.

For instance, if the printer font which is selected at present is a bold 12 point Presentation bitmap font which is selected from a cartridge, and a font entity request with the location type set to 1 is produced, the response will be returned as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>(2U<Esc>(s0p10.00h12.0v0s3b11T"
LOCTYPE=5
LOCUNIT=1 

For instance, suppose the printer font which is selected at present is unbound scalable Dom Casual font with the features below:

downloaded (font ID of 78)
temporary
Roman-8(specified for printing)
secondary font
18 point 

When an entity request is produced with the location type set to 1(selected at present), it returns the response below.

PCL
INFO FONTS
SELECT="<Esc>) 8U<Esc>) s1p18.00v1s0b4148T<Esc>) 78X"
LOCTYPE=4
LOCUNIT=1 

8.5.11. Font extended response

The font extended response supplies a method to return the name and internal ID number of the font as well as the "SELECT=" line. It is the same as a font status response since "SELECT="," SYMBOLSETS=",

"LOCTYPE=", and "LOCUNIT=" are returned in the same way. With regard to a font extended request, it returns the two additional keywords, "DEFID=" and "NAME=" as follows.

"DEFID" specifies the internal ID number of the font which is shown on the test print (font list). This is the number which is used to select the font as the default font from the control panel of printer or from PJL. The "DEFID=" number is made of two parts, which are a location and an ID number. The locations which are likely are as follows;

I - Internal  
C - Cartridge (printer with single cartridge)  
Cn - Cartridge (printer with multiple cartridge/card when n is specified by printer.)  
S - Permanent download fonts 

For temporary download fonts, it returns "DEFID=NONE" because temporary download fonts do not have an internal ID number.

The printer assigns the internal ID number of a temporary download font with the Font ID (ESC*c#D) command. This internal ID number differs from the downloaded ID number assigned to a downloaded font.

It returns "NAME=" only for font extended status requests. The name of the font is the same as shown on the font printout.

For instance, it returns the font extended response for the printer's internal bitmap LetterGothic font and a downloaded unbound Portugal temporary font as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS EXTENDED
SELECT="<Esc>(8U<Esc>(s0p10.00h12.0v0s0b0T"
DEFID="I 45"
NAME="Line Printer"
SELECT="<Ec>(s1p__v1s3b4111T<Esc>(7X"
SymbolSETS="0D, 0I, 0N, 0S, 0U, 1E, 1F, 1G,...
DEFID=NONE
NAME="CG Palacio BdIt"
SELECT="... 

For instance, a font extended response with the location type set to 1( selected at present ) where the font which is selected at present is the internal Pc Tennessee (18 point identified for printing) bold, returns the response as follows.

PCL
INFO FONTS EXTENDED
SELECT="<Esc>(8U<Esc>(s0p18.00h0s3b4101T"
DEFID="<Esc>(8U<Esc>s0p18.000s3b4101T"
DEFID="I 2"
NAME="PcTennessee Bd"
LOCTYPE=1
LOCUNIT=1 

8.5.12. Macro response

The status response for macros indicates all of the macro IDs ("IDLIST=") for the macros in a particular location.

Status location type 1( selected at present ) is an unused location for macros and an error is returned.

A macro status response may be shown as follows.

PCL
INFO MACROS
IDLIST="1, 3, 8, 29, 32" 

8.5.13. Use-defined pattern response

The status response of user-defined patterns indicates all of the user-defined patterns and all of the user-defined pattern IDs ("IDLIST") for the patterns in a particular location.

A user-defined pattern response may be shown as follows.

PCL
INFO PATTERN
IDLIST="1, 2, 9, 13, 27, 456" 

When the location type is specified to 1 (selected at present), "LOCTYPE=" and "LOCUNIT=" lines are added.

It returns the "LOCTYPE=" only for a status location type 1 requirement. It specifies the location type of the pattern which is selected at present.

It returns the "LOCUNIT=" only for a status location type 1 requirement. It specifies the location unit of the pattern which is selected at present.

A user-defined pattern response for the pattern selected at present may be shown as follows.

PCL
INFO PATTERN
IDLIST="88"
LOCTYPE=4
LOCUNIT=2

When the pattern selected at present is set to one of the internal HP-specified patterns, there is no number available and it returns the response "ERROR=NONE".

PCL
INFO PATTERNS
ERROR=NONE 

8.5.14. Symbol set response

The symbol set response indicates all of the symbol set IDs ("IDLIST") for all of the symbol sets in the identified location. There can be bound and unbound scalable fonts in the identified location (type and unit).

A symbol set response may be shown as follows.

PCL
INFO SYMBOLSETS
IDLIST="0U, 2K, 8M, 11U" 

Status location type 1 (selected at present) is an incorrect location for unbound font symbol sets and returns an error.

Example responses in this section for "SYMBOLSETS=" do not indicate the complete list of symbol sets which are available internally, but only a partial list. The internal symbol sets depend on the printer and might differ according to the printer.

8.5.15. Entity error codes

When an out-of-range value exists in the command value fields, or when the entity is not supported or does not exist, or the request is inadequate, the printer replies with one of four likely errors as follows:

Invalid Entity
Invalid Location
None
Internal Error
ERROR=INVALID ENTITY 

When the identified entity type is not in the range or not supported, it returns an invalid entity error.

PCL
INFO ENTITY
ERROR=INVALID ENTITY
ERROR=INVALID LOCATION 

When the entity type is correct, but the location (the type, the unit, or the combination) is not, or when the identified device is not installed, it returns an invalid location error.

PCL
INFO FONTS
ERROR=INVALID LOCATION
ERROR=NONE 

When the entity type and location are correct, but there are not any entities of the identified type in the location, or when the type is not correct for the identified entity, it generates the NONE error response.

PCL
INFO SYMBOLSETS
ERROR=NONE
ERROR=INTERNAL ERROR 

The status response for some requirements could be quite big. When status replies are requested, it returns an internal error if the printer runs out of memory as follows:

PCL
INFO SYMBOL SETS
ERROR=INTERNAL ERROR 

8.5.16. Free space command

ESC*s1M (27) (42) (115) (48) (77) <1Bh><2Ah><73h><31h><4Dh> 

The amount of memory which is free for use is returned by this command. Two values are returned: the total amount of free memory and the largest block of free memory.

When you send a value other than 1, an error ("ERROR = INVALID UNIT") is returned.

The Free Space command is sent to check the free memory space and you can acknowledge whether the printer has enough memory for a job or not before you execute your job. Also you can check the amount of memory which an entity or any other data has already used.

Free memory space will always be changing during different printing conditions.

For example, when the printer receives print data, it is stored in the printer memory and so the free space in the printer memory becomes smaller. After the data is printed, the printer memory becomes empty, so the free space becomes larger again.

Certain action is needed when you decide there is not enough memory to hold the data to be downloaded.

8.5.17. Font cache

In order to print characters from a scalable font, the printer changes the scalable character outlines into sized bitmaps. These bitmapped characters are produced on a character-by-character basis and the produced bitmapped characters are stored in memory. As it prints more pages using more fonts, more memory is consumed by the bitmaps. The bitmap characters used on the first page of a job can stay in memory till the end of a job. These stored bitmap characters are known as the font cache.

If a Brother HL-Series printer encounters a memory low condition, all of the font cache is automatically deleted. Also, font cache and temporary entities can be cleared by a Printer Reset command.

8.5.18. Memory status response

The total available memory is specified by "TOTAL=" and the largest continuous block size of available memory is specified by "LARGEST=".

PCL
INFO MEMORY
TOTAL = 10000
LARGEST = 3500 

8.5.19. Memory error response

When the value field of the free memory command is out of range, the response for this command would be as follows;

PCL
INFO MEMORY
ERROR = INVALID UNIT 

8.5.20. Flush all pages command

ESC&r#F (27) (38) (114) #(70) <1Bh><26h><72h>#<46h>

This command suspends accepting data from a PC and clears the user memory.

  • =0 suspends receiving data and clears all completed data. Incompleted data remains in the printers memory.

  • =1 suspends receiving data and clears all data remaining in the printer memory.

8.5.21. Echo command

ESC*s#X (27) (42) (115) #(88) <1Bh><2Ah><73h>#<58h>

This command is used to distinguish each request and response. In networking/sharing environments, some requests may be sent from a number of PCs to one printer. This command sends the user selected value to the printer and the printer can return the same value. Adding this command before the status request command allows this echo value to distinguish the corresponding status response.

1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the enhanced commands for the PCL5C emulation.

PCL5C is upwards-compatible with PCL5e. For the commands of PCL5e, refer to "Chapter 2 PCL" which describes the PCL5e emulation.

If you are reading this technical manual for the first time, it is recommended that you read Chapter 2 first before reading this Chapter.

2. COLOR MODES

The PCL5C emulation provides a B/W mode, which is the default, and three color modes as follows;

1) Simple Color Mode
2) PCL Color Mode
3) HP-GL/2 Color Mode

Simple Color Mode allows you to use a maximum of 8 colors easily. PCL Color Mode allows you to use a maximum of 16,000,000 colors logically. HP-GL/2 Mode allows you to use vector graphics in color.

It is possible to switch between these modes in a single page, which enables you to use each of them for your purpose.

When handling colors in those modes, use palette. For details on palette, refer to Section 3 'Color Palettes' of this chapter.

This section describes the details about each color mode.

2.1. Using Simple Color Mode - Set Simple Color

Command

ESC*r#U (27) (42) (114) #(85) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<55h>

# = -4 CMYK mode

# = -3 CMY mode

# = 1* B/W mode

# = 3 RGB mode

* Default value = 1

  • The # value specifies the palette and the colors for the palette. For specific colors, refer to the table below;
  • This command specifies each color corresponding to the index number. The color is fixed and unchangeable.
  • The colors which were specified in the palette by the PCL or HP-GL/2 command are cancelled.
Index No -4 (CMYK) -3(CMY) 1(B/W) * 3(RGB)
0WhiteWhiteWhiteBlack
1CyanCyanBlack
2MagentaMagenta-Green
3BlueBlue-Yellow
4YellowYellow-Blue
5GreenGreen-Magenta
6RedRed-Cyan
7BlackBlack-

Whit

* = default

2.2. Using PCL Color Mode - Set PCL Color Setting

Command

$$ \text { ESC } * \mathrm{v} # \mathrm{W} (2 7) (4 2) (1 1 8) # (8 7) < 1 \mathrm{Bh} > < 2 \mathrm{Ah} > < 7 6 \mathrm{h} > # < 5 7 \mathrm{h} > $$

$$ # = 6, 1 8 $$

# stands for the number of bytes of data that follow this command.

This command sets the palette size and transformation between the entered value and device-specific value.

This command has two types of format, short format and long format. Here are the formats for the PCL color setting.

1) Short Format

MSB LSB

0 - 1Format (0) Encoding mode
2 - 3Bits / index Bits / value #1
4 - 5Bits / value #2 Bits / value #3

♣ Format

This value must be 0.

♣ Encoding mode

• This value defines how to send the raster image data.
- The value can be from 0 to 3 only, other values are ignored.

Encoding Mode
0 Send Index No by Plane *
1 Send Index No by Pixel
2 Send Direct Value by Plane
3 Send Direct Value by Pixel

* = default

Send Index No by Plane (= 0 default)

• This mode assigns the Index No. to the Plane, then sends it.
- The necessary number for the Plane is determined depending on the number of bits/index. 1 (one) plane should be needed per 1 (one) bit/index. For instance, 4 planes are needed for 4 bits/index.
- Bits/index must be 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
- This mode sends the plane data except the last one using the Send Raster Data by Plane command (ESC*b#V).
- This mode also sends the last plane data using the Send Raster Data command (ESC*b#W).

(i.e. 4 bits/index)

** The Italic characters shown above are the index No. at the 4th pixel in the 1st raster.

[Example]

If you want to send index No. 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0;

Enter 'ESC*v6W 00h 00h 04h 08h 08h 08h', then select Send Index No by Plane.

Select 4 bits/index. ( 2^4 = 16 Palettes)

ESC*r1A

Start Raster Transfer

ESC*b1V 10101010B

Send Plane1 data (The Index No Bit0 data)

ESC*b1V 11001100B

# = 0 * Prints the image from the left edge of the logical page.

= 1 Prints the image from the current cursor position.

= 2 Executes scaling. Prints the image from the left edge of the logical page.

= 3 Executes scaling. Prints the images from the current cursor position.

* Default value = 0

  • This command signals the start of the transfer of raster image data to the printer.
  • The transfer of raster data to the printer continues until either an End Raster Transfer command is sent or a command other than Send Raster Data, Set Compression Mode or Y-Offset is sent.
  • The source width and height are set by the Set Raster Area Width (ESC*r#S) and Set Raster Area Height (ESC*r#T) commands. When the # value is 2 or 3, the data with these source width/height values is enlarged or reduced to the width and height set by the Set Destination Raster Width and Set Destination Raster Height commands. (Refer to the following sections.)

4.2. Set Destination Raster Width

Command

ESC*t#H (27) (42) (116) # (72) <1Bh><2Ah><74h>#<48h>

Range = 0 \~ 32767 (number of decipoints in 1/720")

Default value = 0

  • If value 2 or 3 is sent with the Start Raster Transfer command and graphic scaling is set, this command sets the destination width.
  • Values outside the range are invalid.
  • If the setting is 0 or is omitted, this command uses the same width as the source width.
  • If the specified width is wider than the page, drawings are clipped by the right physical page boundary. The scaling factor is dealt with correctly.

4.3. Set Destination Raster Height

Command

ESC*t#V (27) (42) (116) #(86) <1Bh><2Ah><70h>#<56h>

Range = 0 \~ 32767 (number of decipoints in 1/720")

Default value = 0

  • If value 2 or 3 is sent with the Start Raster Transfer command and graphic scaling is set, this command sets the destination height.
  • Values outside the range are invalid.
  • If the setting is 0 or is omitted, this command uses the same height as the source height.
  • If the specified height is longer than the page, drawings are clipped by the bottom of physical page boundary. The scaling factor is dealt with correctly.

4.4. Set Scale Algorithm

Command

ESC*t#K (27) (42) (116) # (75) <1Bh><2Ah><70h>#<4Bh>

# = 0 * Takes the lighter overlying dots when reducing.

= 1 Takes the darker overlying dots when reducing.

* Default value = 0

  • This command sets which algorithm the data is reduced by.
  • Any combinations, such as vertical only, horizontal only or vertical and horizontal are allowed to be reduced. If the setting is vertical only or horizontal only, this command affects the set direction.
  • This command should be used after sending the Start Raster Transfer command after setting the scaling (ESC*r2A or ESC*r3A).

4.5. Send Raster Data by Plane

Command

ESC*b#V [data] (27) (42) (98) #(87) <1Bh><2Ah><62h>#<56h>

Range = 0 32767

Default value = N/A

  • This command sends a plane of data to the printer and goes ahead to the next plane (not to the next row).
  • The # value represents the number of data bytes to be sent. The number of planes per row is specified by the Set Simple Color command or the Set PCL Color command, depending on which color mode is used. The first plane sent represents the least significant bit in the pixel.
  • Since this command does not affect the cursor position, it cannot be used for the last plane or for single-plane rows. Only the ESC*b#W command can progress the cursor to the next row.
  • The amount of data sent varies depending on the plane, and it is separate from the raster width. When the data sent is shorter than the raster width, the data which was not filled within the specified raster width is cleared to 0. Empty planes can be sent when the # value is 0.

4.6. Enter HP-GL/2 Mode

Command

ESC%#B (27) (37) # (66) <1Bh><2Ah><25h>#<4Ah>

# = 0 * Position the cursor at the previous HP-GL/2 cursor position.

= 1 Leave the cursor at its current PCL position.
= 2 Use current PCL coordinate system and previous HP-GL/2 pen position
= 3 Use PCL dot coordinate system and the current cursor position

Range = 0 3

* Default value = 0

  • Immediately after the printer receives this command, it switches to HP-GL/2 mode, interpreting commands as HP-GL/2 commands until it receives an Enter PCL Mode, Reset or UEL command, or until the printer is turned off and on.
  • The # value specifies the cursor position once HP-GL/2 mode is entered. Each value performs the following functions;

- # = 0 : The cursor is positioned at the previous HP-GL/2 cursor position. If this is the first time you have switched to HP-GL/2 mode since switching the printer on, the cursor is placed at the origin of the HP-GL/2 graphics windows.

  • # = 1 : The cursor remains at its current position.
  • = 2: The PCL coordinate system is used when entering into HP-GL/2 mode from PCL mode. The HP-GL/2 cursor position uses the previous HP-GL/2 position. It is separate from the P1 and P2 positions.

  • = 3: The PCL coordinate system is used when entering into HP-GL/2 mode from PCL mode. The PCL cursor position is used instead of the HP-GL/2 cursor position. It is separate from the P1 and P2 positions.

2. INTRODUCTION

Some of the HL series printers can be used in HP-GL/2 graphics mode to produce vector graphics output using the commands of the HP-GL/2 graphics language or to print out existing HP-GL/2 format images.

HP-GL/2 is a part of the PCL emulation, which includes graphics command.

The Default plotting measurement unit in the HP-GL/2 graphics mode is 1/1016" (0.025 mm).

3. TERMINOLOGY

3.1. Picture Frame

The printer frame is the rectangular area of the page on which graphic output can be printed. This is based on the logical page defined for the selected paper size.

3.2. Anchor Point

The anchor point of the picture frame is the top left hand corner of the frame. This can be moved on the page using PCL language page control commands.

3.3. Graphics Window

The graphics window is the rectangular area of the page on which you can generate graphic output using HP-GL/2 commands. Initially the graphics window is the same as the picture frame but may be altered using the HP-GL/2 IW command.

3.4. Hard Clip Limits

Hard clip limits are the physical restrictions which define where printed output can appear on a page.

3.5. Soft Clip Limits

Soft clip limits are the user-defined restrictions which define where printed output can appear on a page.

3.6. Graphics Units

The initial coordinate system employs units of 1/1016" in both the x- and y-axes.

3.7. User Units

The HP-GL/2 graphics language uses a coordinate system. You can impose your own x- and y-scale units on this system using the SC command.

3.8. Current Units

The units in use at a given time are called the current units. Current units are either user units or graphics units, depending on whether scaling has been turned on or not. The SC command is used to turn scaling on, that is, to make user units the current units.

3.9. Pens

By convention, certain HP-GL/2 graphics language commands are thought of as using a pen, which can be either up or down. To produce plotted output the pen must be down. To move to a location on the page without producing output the pen must be in the up position. Some HP-GL/2 commands require you to specify the pen position before you use them, others have implied pen positions built into them, so that you do not need to specify "Pen up" or "Pen down".

3.10. Absolute and Relative Plotting

Drawing commands are of two distinct types: absolute commands, in which the coordinates specified are the absolute user or graphics coordinates and relative commands, whose coordinates are relative to the coordinate position at which the previous graphics command terminated.

3.11. Fills

You can fill in the shapes you have drawn with the plotting commands by using the fill commands. A number of different shading options are available.

4. COMMAND SYNTAX

An HP-GL and HP-GL/2 command can consist of up to four items: a mnemonic, a parameter field, a separator and a terminator.

4.1. Mnemonic

The two-letter mnemonic is the name of the command and should help remind you of its function.

4.2. Parameters

Some commands have parameters following the instruction mnemonic. Multiple parameters must have separators between them. Parameters are shown in italics. Optional parameters are surrounded by square brackets. Parameters that can be repeated are followed by "...".

  • Integer - integers are allowed in the range -2^30 and 2^30 - 1 . Real numbers specified for a parameter that should be an integer are rounded to the nearest integer.
  • Clamped integer - integers are allowed in the range -32768 and 32767. Parameters outside this range are converted (clamped) to the nearest integer within the range, for example 40,000 will be clamped to 32767. Non-integers are converted to the nearest integer.
  • Real number - real numbers whose integer part is in the range -2^30 to 2^30 - 1 . Accuracy to at least 6 significant digits is guaranteed. If a number outside the range is specified the entire command is ignored. The decimal point can be omitted when the number has no fractional part.
  • Clamped real number - real numbers whose integer part is in the range -32768 to 32767. Parameters outside this range are converted (clamped) to the nearest real number within the range. The decimal point can be omitted when the number has no fractional part.

Text parameters are referred to as labels and can consist of any sequence of characters.

4.3. Separators

If an HP-GL/2 instruction accepts more than one parameter, you must put spaces or a comma between the parameters to separate them.

4.4. Terminator

Most commands are terminated implicitly by the first letter of the next instruction mnemonic. A semi-colon may be used to explicitly terminate a command. However, the final command issued before quitting HP-GL/2 mode must be terminated with a semi-colon. Since a terminator is almost always optional it is shown surrounded by square brackets.

5. THE HP-GL GRAPHICS WINDOW

5.1. Units

When you first enter graphics mode, the prevailing coordinate system has its origin in the bottom left hand corner of the graphics window and has x- and y-units of 1/1016". Using the SC command you can divide the axes into more convenient units. The size of the graphics window remains unaltered.

5.2. The Scaling Points P1 and P2

Many instructions use two reference scaling points, P1 and P2. Initially these are in the bottom left and top right hand corners of the graphics window respectively. You can alter the position of these points relative to the graphics window, or relative to one another, by using the IP or IR commands.

5.3. Scaling

You can easily scale images up or down by increasing or decreasing the distance between P1 and P2. You can do this both with existing images that are to be imported and with images that are generated by a string of HP-GL and HP-GL/2 commands, identical commands can be used to create the same image in different sizes.

5.4. Transformation

You can transform images horizontally or vertically by changing the relative positions of P1 and P2. You can do this both with existing images that are to be imported and with images that are generated by a string of HP-GL/2 commands.

6. PREPARING TO PRINT GRAPHIC IMAGES

6.1. Setting Up the Graphics Window

Before entering HP-GL/2 mode you will probably want to set the dimensions and position of the PCL picture frame and hence the graphics window. (Remember that when you enter HP-GL/2 mode they are initially the same). To do this you will need to send some preparatory PCL commands while in LaserJet mode. Use the Esc*c0T command to position the picture frame and the Esc*c#X and Esc*c#Y commands to determine it's horizontal and vertical dimensions respectively. These commands are described fully in the sub-section Vector Graphics in the LaserJet section of this manual. (Section 2)

If you do not specify a position and dimensions for the picture frame, the default picture frame is used. This is described in the sub-section 'The Page in LaserJet mode' section of this manual.

6.2. Using Existing Image Plots

If you are importing an existing HP-GL/2 plot you can easily determine the size and position on the page of the resulting printed graphic. Images are automatically scaled and fitted to the picture frame (the HP-GL/2 graphics window) in either of the following two cases.

1) If you use the Esc*c#K and Esc*c#L PCL commands to specify the width and height of the original plot before entering HP-GL/2 mode. These commands are explained in the sub-section 'Vector Graphics in LaserJet mode' section of this manual. Only use these commands if you are importing an existing plot.
2) If the imported image code is page-size independent.

An image is page-size independent if it's HP-GL/2 code satisfies the following conditions.

  • User units are used exclusively, that is, an SC command is used before any drawing commands are issued. Note in particular that if the graphics window is changed from the default using the IW command, it must be specified in user units.
  • No absolute units are used or implied, that is, drawing commands use relative movement only and character size, pattern length and pen width are always specified as relative measurements. Commands like IP and PA, which imply the use of absolute units even if none are explicitly supplied, should not be used at all.

If you import an image without fulfilling these two criteria, that is, the image is not page size independent and you do not specify its horizontal and vertical plot sizes, the plot will be drawn actual size. Any part of the plot that falls outside the effective window will not appear on the printed page.

6.3. Printing an Image

When you have carried out any necessary preliminary steps that your particular application requires, as described in the preceding sections, enter HP-GL/2 mode using the Esc%#B command and send the sequence of HP-GL/2 commands to generate the image.

6.4. Entering HP-GL/2 Mode

To enter graphics mode from PCL printer control language use the Esc%#B command. Set # to 0 if you want the pen to start from the previous HP-GL/2 pen position. Set # to 1 if you want to the pen to start from the current PCL cursor position. You must specify either one setting or the other.

6.5. Quitting HP-GL/2 Mode

To quit graphics mode use the Esc%#A command. Set # to 0 if you want to place the cursor at the previous PCL cursor position. This is the default setting. Set # to 1 if you want to place the cursor at the current HP-GL/2 pen position.

7.2. Plot Area and Unit Setting Instructions

InstructionFunction
IPScaling point
IR Input relative scaling points
SCScale
IWInput window
RO Rotate coordinate system

IP - Input scaling point

IP [ P1x, P1y [,P2x, P2y] ] [;]

Plx ; x coordinate of P1 Ply ; y coordinate of P1

P2x ; x coordinate of P2 P2y ; y coordinate of P2

• The coordinates used are absolute values in graphics units.
- Set the location of the scaling points(P1,P2).
- Coordinate values for P1X,P1Y, P2X and P2Y are given as integer numbers.
- You can set P1 and P2 to be anywhere that the range of allowable coordinates permits. However, only parts of resulting images that lie within the effective window will be printed.
- The default location of P1 is the lower left corner and P2 is the upper right corner of the PCL picture frame.
- Using this instruction without a parameter field initializes the scaling points(P1,P2) to the default location.
- P2X and P2Y may be omitted. If P2X and P2Y are omitted, P2 is set automatically so as not to alter the distance between P1 and P2.
- If P2x and P2y are omitted P2 is set to be in the same position relative to P1 that it was before the command was invoked.
- The IP command remains in effect until another IP command, an IR command or an IN command is used.

IR - Input relative scaling points

IR [ P1x, P1y [, P2x, P2y]] [;]

P1x ; x-coordinate of P1 P1y ; y-coordinate of P1

P2x ; x-coordinate of P2 P2y ; y-coordinate of P2

  • The coordinate values are percentages relative to the bottom left and top right hand corners of the picture frame.
    • Coordinate values for P1x, P1y, P2x, and P2y are treated as clamped real numbers.
  • Using this instruction without parameters sets the scaling points (P1, P2) to their initial positions, the bottom left and top right hand corners of the picture frame.
  • If P2x and P2y are omitted P2 is set to be in the same position relative to P1 that it was before the command was invoked.
  • You can set P1 and P2 to be anywhere that the range of allowable coordinates permits. However, only parts of resulting images that lie within the effective window will be printed.
  • The IR command remains in effect until another IR command, and IP command or an IN command is used.

SC - Scale

SC [ Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax [, type ] ] [;] (Type = 0)

SC [ Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax, type [ left, bottom]] [;] (Type =1)

SC [ X min , X factor , Y min Y factor [, type ]] [;] (Type = 2)

X_min ; X coordinate of P1 X_max ; X coordinate of P2

Y_min ; Y coordinate of P1 Y_max ; Y coordinate of P2

Type ; type of scaling

Left ; percentage of unused space to be left to the left of the scaling area

bottom ; percentage of unused space to be left below the scaling area

X_factor ; number of graphics units per user unit on the x-axis.

Y_factor ; number of graphics units per user unit on the y-axis.

- This command turns scaling on and establishes a user unit coordinate system. The coordinate system is specified relative to the points P1 and P2. The origin need not necessarily be at P1. Three different types of scaling are available.

- The technical terms, user unit and graphics unit, as used in this manual are defined as follows: User unit : the unit of the coordinates set by the SC instruction.

Graphics unit : the unit(1/1016 of an inch) of the coordinates not set by the SC instruction.

- All coordinates are in user units.

- Coordinate values for X , X , Y , and Y are given as real numbers.

- X_min , Y_min , X_max and Y_max specify the range of the X- and Y-axes. X_min and Y_min value should be P1 and X_max and Y_max should be P2.

- X_min must be different from X_max , and Y_min must be different from Y_max .

• Using this instruction without a parameter field turns the scaling off.

- Type can be 0, 1 or 2, which select scaling types known as anisotropic, isotropic and point factor scaling respectively.

- Type 0 scaling (anisotropic scaling, the default) allows you to specify different sized x-axis and y-axis units. Hence the area specified by X , X , Y , and Y will occupy the entire area defined by P1 and P2.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - SC - Scale - 1

text_image P2 (7,6) P1 (0,0)

• left and bottom settings have no effect in type 0 scaling.

- Type 1 scaling (isotropic scaling) forces x-axis and y-axis units to be the same size. As a result the area specified by X , X , Y , and Y (the isotropic area) may not fit exactly into the rectangular area defined by P1 and P2.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - SC - Scale - 2

text_image P1 (0,0) (6,7) P2
  • With type 1 scaling you can specify the percentage of unused space that is to lie below, or to the left of, the isotropic area.
  • left specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie to the left of the isotropic area and can be from 0 to 100. If you do not specify the value for left, it is automatically set to the default value = 50%.
  • bottom specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie below the isotropic area and can be from 0 to 100. If you do not specify the value for bottom, it is automatically set to the default value = 50%.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - SC - Scale - 3

text_image (10,10) P2 Extra space P1(0,0)

SC 0,10,0,10,1,0,0

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - SC - Scale - 6

text_image P2 Extra space (20,10) P1(0,0)

SC 0,20,0,10,1,0,0

- You must either specify both left and bottom, or specify neither. However, the printer can only use one of these two parameters at a time, depending where the extra space is on a page. ¥

- If you do not specify a percentage for unused space to the left or at the bottom, the isotropic area is centred in the rectangle defined by P1 and P2.

- Type 2 scaling (point factor scaling) specifies the ratio of graphics units to user units and sets user units coordinates for P1.

- X_factor specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user x-axis unit.

- Y _factor specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user y-axis unit.

- Valid values for Xfactor and Yfactor are real numbers.

- An SC command remains in effect until another SC command is issued, until default settings are restored with the DF command or until the printer is initialized with an IN command.

IW - Window

IW [ X1, Y1, X2, Y2 ] [;]

X_1 -Window lower left X coordinate Y ^1 -Window lower left Y coordinate X_2 -Window upper right X coordinate Y ^2 -Window upper right Y coordinate

  • This instruction sets the window inside which drawing can be performed (the soft clip limits).
  • Coordinates are specified in current units.
    • Using this instruction with no parameters sets the window to be the same as the picture frame.
  • You can set the corners of the window to lie outside the picture frame. However, only the portion of the image which lies within both the picture frame and the window will appear on the page.
  • If scaling is turned on with the SC command before the window is defined with the IW command, you can move the window on the physical page by specifying different locations for P1 and P2 with the IP and IR commands. The user unit coordinates that bound the window remain the same.
  • If an SC command is used after the IW window definition, the window is fixed on the physical page and does not move when subsequent IP and IR commands are invoked.
  • An IW command remains in effect until another IW command is issued, until default settings are restored with the DF command or until the printer is initialized with an IN command.

RO - Rotate coordinate system

RO [q] [;]

q : Angle in degrees through which the coordinate system is rotated.

  • This instruction is used to rotate the graphics coordinate system anti-clockwise.
  • Using this instruction with no parameter sets the rotation of the coordinate system to 0 degrees (default value).
    • The pen position does not change.
  • P1 and P2 rotate with the coordinate system and retain the same coordinate values.
  • To relocate P1 and P2 at the lower left and upper right hand corners of the picture frame, use the IP or IR commands.
  • If you have previously used an IW command, the window is also rotated. Any part of the window that falls outside the hard clip limits will be clipped.

PE - Polyline encoded

PE [ [flag] [value] | X₁Y₁ ... [flag] [value] | X₁Y₁ ] ];

flag ; a command or mode that applies to the data that follows value; parameter data for the preceding flag

X ; X-coordinate of a cursor movement destination

Y ; Y-coordinate of a cursor movement destination

  • This command allows you to combine a sequence of PA, PR, PU, PD and SP commands into a coded format. This reduces file size and transmission time.
  • Do not use commas within the PE command. Parameters either have their own terminators or do not require them.
  • The PE command must be terminated with a semi-colon.
  • The command draws lines using the current line type and current units.
  • The command draws lines to all coordinate points specified unless you precede the coordinate pair with a pen up flag.
  • On completion of the command, the pen is down unless the final move was made with the pen up.
  • All coordinate points are interpreted as relative unless preceded by the absolute flag (=).
  • On completion of the command, the previous plotting mode is restored.
  • Flags are not encoded. They are sent as ASCII characters. The MSB of the code is ignored, thus 60 and 188 can both represent <, the flag for pen up.

• The following flags are used:

':' - Select pen. The number which follows is the required pen number. A PE command that does not include a select pen command uses the currently selected pen.

'<' - Pen up. The pen is raised and moved to the specified coordinate pair. All coordinate pair values not preceded by this flag are automatically interpreted as pen down plotting commands.

'>- Fractional data. The value following the flag specifies the number of fractional binary bits in the coordinate data.

'=' - Absolute plotting mode. The pair of coordinates which follow this flag are absolute coordinates.

'7' - 7 bit mode. All subsequent coordinate values within this PE command are to be interpreted as 7-bit values, that is, encoded in base 32.

- If you use the ':' flag in polygon mode it is ignored as the SP command has no effect in this mode.

- Values and coordinates are encoded in base 64 or base 32. Values determine the setting of the immediately preceding flag. Legal values and coordinates are as follows:

Pen number - 0 (white) or 1 (black)

Number of fractional binary bits -

x- and y-coordinates - (-2

-26 to 26. The default is 0.

30) to 2^30 - 1 current units. If the pen position is moved outside this range, subsequent plotting commands are ignored until an absolute coordinate pair within the allowable range is specified.

- Flag and coordinate values are encoded as either base 64 or base 32 numbers and then transmitted as ASCII character codes. Base 64 is the default. Use Base 64 if your computer can send data without a parity bit. Use base 32 if your system requires a parity bit.

- To encode an integer proceed as follows. If the number is negative, take the absolute value, multiply by 2 and add 1. Hence -x := 2x+1. If the number is positive simply multiply by 2. Hence x := 2x. Convert the new number into base 64 or base 32 according to your system and encode each base 64 or base 32 digit as the corresponding ASCII character.

- To encode a real number proceed as follows. Multiply the number of decimal places in your coordinate's data by 3.33 and round the result up to the next highest integer (for example round 6.66 up to 7). This gives the number of binary bits needed to represent the number's fractional part - the value that you will supply with the > flag. Call this number n. Now multiply the number you are encoding by 2^n . Round this number to the nearest integer and then follow the procedure described above for encoding an integer.

- Transmit each number to the printer least significant digits first. Terminate each number with the most significant digit. This must be specified from a different ASCII range from the preceding digits in the number. In base 64, non-terminating digits are represented by the numbers 63-126 and terminating digits by the numbers 191-254. In base 32, non-terminating digits are represented by the numbers 63-94 and terminating digits by the numbers 95-126. Hence if using a base 32 number whose least significant digit is 14, and whose most significant digit is 5, encode 14 as 77 (63+14) and 5 as 100 (95+5).

Non-terminatorTerminator
Base 6463-126 191-254
Base 3263-94 95-126

- In symbol mode the PE command draws the specified symbol at each specified point.

- In polygon mode the points specified within the PE command are not plotted. Instead they are stored in the polygon buffer and used when a FP (Fill Polygon) or EP (Edge Polygon) command is used.

- The PE command with no parameters simply updates the carriage return point.

CI - Circle plot

CI r(, qd) [;]

r ; Radius of circle ( in current units )

qd ; Chord angle ( in degrees )

- The command plots a circle with the current position as the centre, with a radius r and chord angle qd .

• After plotting, the cursor returns to the centre of the circle.

- Plotting takes place irrespective of whether the pen is up or down.

- Valid values for r are specified in the current unit.

- Valid values for qd are clamped real numbers in the range 0.5^ to 180^ . The default value is 5^ .

• To avoid placing an unwanted dot at the centre of the circle precede the CI command with a PU command.

  • Coordinates are relative values in current units.
  • Using the current pen position as the starting point, the bezier curve is geometrically drawn referring to the other three points. The start point of the curve is at (X0,Y0), and the curve is tangential to the line from (X0,Y0) to (X1,Y1) at that point, and it leaves the point in that direction. The end point of the curve is at (X3,Y3), and the curve is tangential to the line from (X2,Y2) to (X3,Y3).
    • After execution of this command the cursor position is at the end of the bezier curve.
  • When drawing a bezier curve is repeated, the last (fourth) control point of the first curve is used as the first control point for the second curve.
  • Plotting takes place only when the pen is down.
  • If the command is invoked with the pen up, plotting is not performed, but the cursor position moves to what would have been the plot end point.
  • If the curve extends to the outside of the soft/hard clip limit, it is clipped.
  • This command can only be used in polygon mode.

PM - Polygon mode

PM [ms] [;]

  • This command is used for entering and leaving polygon mode, the mode that allows you to access the polygon buffer.
  • When in polygon mode you can use any of the vector group commands to define the vertices of a polygon. The following commands can be used; DF, IN, AA, AR, AT, BR, BZ, CI, PA, PD, PE, PR, PU, RT
  • The polygon you have defined is not printed until you exit polygon mode and fill or edge the polygon.
  • ms, the mode status, can have the value 0, 1 or 2. If ms = 0 the command empties the polygon buffer and enters polygon mode. A value of 1 closes the current polygon and remains in polygon mode. All commands sent following a PM1 before a PM2 or a further PM1 are used to build one sub-polygon. A value of 2 closes the current polygon or sub-polygon and exits polygon mode.
  • Having exited polygon mode you can use the EP and FP commands to edge or fill the polygons you have defined.
  • The EP command only draws between points defined when the pen was in the down position.
  • The FP command fills the area between the polygon vertices irrespective of whether the pen was up or down when the polygon was defined.
  • The first point in the polygon buffer is the pen position when the PM0 command was invoked.
  • The next pen position specified after a PM1 command becomes the first vertex of the next sub-polygon.
  • When plotting a polygon the pen always moves to the first point in the up position.
  • Using the command with no parameters clears the polygon buffer and enters polygon mode. This is equivalent to the PM0; command.
  • If a DF or IN command is invoked in the polygon mode, the printer quits polygon mode, clears the polygon buffer and executes the subsequent command.
  • If an ESC E reset command is invoked while the printer is in polygon mode, the printer quits polygon mode, clears the polygon buffer, exits HP-GL/2 and ejects the page.

n ; fill method

  • This command fills the polygon currently stored in the polygon buffer.
    • The command does not clear the buffer or alter the data at all.
  • The command fills between points defined when the pen was up or down.
  • If a polygon is composed of sub-polygons, the command fills alternate areas.
  • On completion of the plot the cursor returns to the original position.
  • The command performs a fill irrespective of whether the pen is currently up or down.
  • You can specify the fill method. There are two types of fill method.
    • 0 specifies the even/odd fill method.

Places a point within the polygon and draws a straight line from it to the outside of polygon. If the cross point of the straight line and polygon edges are an odd count, the polygon which includes the start point is filled.

LT - Line type selection

LT [, n [, p [,m]]] [;]

n ; Line pattern number

p ; Line pattern length (percentage or millimeters of distance between P1 and P2)

m : mode

  • This command specifies the line pattern for use when drawing lines with the vector group commands.
  • n defines the line type to be used. n is either in the range -8 to 8 or is 99.
  • Values of n from 1 to 8 specify a line type (as defined with the UL command) and use a fixed pattern length. Any residual part of the pattern not used on a particular drawing operation is stored and used at the start of the next line drawn.
  • Values of n from -1 to -8 specify a line type (as defined with the UL command) and use an adaptive pattern length - that is, the pattern is scaled so as to fit one or more complete patterns into the line.
  • If n is 0, a dot is placed at the (X, Y) coordinates specified with any vector commands used.
  • p , the pattern length, specifies the length of one complete pattern, either as a percentage of the distance between P1 and P2 or in millimeters. The unit system used is determined by the mode setting. If the length is omitted, the printer uses the most recently specified pattern length.
  • If a zero or negative pattern length is specified the command is ignored.
  • m , the mode, defines whether the pattern length parameter, p , is interpreted as a reading in millimeters, (m=1) , or as a percentage of the distance between P1 and P2, (m=0) . If no mode number is included in the command, the most recently specified mode is used.
  • LT99; restores the previous line type (and, if it is a fixed line type, the residue), provided that the current line type is solid and that the pen position is the same as it was when the current, solid line type was selected.
  • An LT command remains in effect until another LT command is issued, until the default settings are restored with the DF command or until the printer is initialized with an IN command.
  • If no parameters are specified the line type is set to be solid. The previous line type, pattern length and any line residue are saved.

PW - Pen width

PW [w, [,p]] [;]

w; width

p; pen

  • This command specifies the width of the pen.
  • Pen width can either be specified as a fixed width in millimeters (the default) or relative to the distance between the scaling points P1 and P2.
  • If a width of zero is specified the thinnest width possible (1 dot wide) is set.
  • Metric widths are scaled by the ratio of the PCL picture frame to the HP-GL/2 plot size. If the ratio for the two axes is different, the smaller one is used. If this is less than the thinnest width available then a width of 1 dot is selected.
  • If no pen number is specified the new width applies to both pens.
  • If a pen number other than 0 or 1 is specified the command is ignored. There are six pens in the specification.
  • If no parameters are specified the pen width defaults to either 0.35mm or 0.1% of the distance from P1 to P2 according to the current width unit setting.
  • Pen width settings are not affected by a DF command.
  • Pen width does not set the width of the lines that make up the characters in a label.

RF - Raster fill definition

RF [ i [, w, h, p [, ...]] ] [;]

i : index w : width

p: pen number h : height

  • This command defines a rectangular pattern which may be used to fill the area.
  • i is the index number of the pattern that is to be defined and must be in the range 1-8. 8 patterns can exist concurrently.
  • If used with an index parameter and no others, the pattern is defined as a solid black fill.
  • w is the width in pixels of the pattern that is to be defined and must be in the range 1-255.
  • h is the height in pixels of the pattern that is to be defined an must be in the range 1 - 255.
  • p stands for a pixel in the defined fill. p = 0 signifies a white pixel, p > 0 signifies a black pixel. The number of pixels specified should equal the number of pixels in the fill pattern (w, h). The parameter defines successive pixels' colors from left to right, top to bottom. If you do not supply enough pixel parameters the trailing pixels default to white.
  • Use the FT command to select a fill type from those defined with the RF command.
  • Omitting parameters sets all raster fill patterns to solid fill.

SM - Symbol mode

SM c[;]

c ; ASCII character or symbol code

  • The command specifies the symbol to be drawn.
  • The specified symbol will be drawn at the end of each vector, irrespective of whether the pen is up or down when the PA, PR, PD, PU or PE instructions are used.
  • Characters in the character code ranges 33 - 58, 60 - 126 and characters 161 and 254 can be used.
  • Character code 59 stands for the ';' which is the HP-GL/2 terminator. You cannot use it as a symbol.
  • The current character size, slant and direction settings affect the way the symbol is drawn.
  • Omitting the parameter cancels the symbol mode.
  • On quitting symbol mode the original pen up/down state is restored.

SP - Select pen

SP [n] [;]

n ; pen number

  • The command selects a pen for drawing.
  • You must use this command before performing any drawing or filling commands.
  • n should be either 0 or 1 (although any other integers will be interpreted as 1.)
  • If n is 0 the white pen is selected. In this case drawing commands will have no effect, unless you are plotting onto a dark background and transparency mode is off.
  • If n is 1 the black pen is selected and printing can proceed normally. Use SP1 at the start of HP-GL/2 programs.
  • Invoking the command with no parameter is equivalent to SP0.

SV - Screened vectors

SV [ s [, option_1[, option_2]] ] [;]

s : screen type

option_1 and option_2: dependent on the screen type

  • This command selects the type of screening that will be applied to vectors, arcs, circles and edges of polygons, rectangles and wedges.
  • The screen type must have the value 0, 1, 2, 21, 22 or 130. 0 = no screen, 1 = shaded fill (one of eight gray scales), 2 = raster fill as defined by the RF command, 21 = a pre-defined PCL cross-hatch pattern and 130 = shaded fill (one of sixty-four gray scales).
  • With screen type 1 option_1 specifies the percentage of shading (0-100): option_2 is ignored.
  • With screen type 2 option_1 is used to specify the index number of the fill pattern created using the RF command. Option_2 is set to either 0 or 1: 0 means that the fill will appear in the colour of pen number 1, 1 means it should appear in the current pen's colour.

  • With screen type 21 option 1 specifies one of six predefined PCL cross-hatch patterns (patterns 1 - 6). option 2 is ignored.

  • With screen type 22, option 1 specifies the ID number of PCL user-defined pattern which is defined by the ESC*c#W command. option 2 is ignored.
  • With fill screen type 130 option 1 specifies the percentage of shading (0 - 100): option 2 is ignored.
  • If option 1 and option 2 are omitted, the most recently specified values for these parameters, for the specified screen type, are used.
  • All screening patterns use the current anchor corner.
  • Invoking the command with no parameter turns screening off. This is equivalent to SV0;

  • g (the gap length) alternately specifies pen up and pen down parts of the defined line type. A maximum of twenty line sections are permitted, the first of which is a pen down section. Numbers must be integers in the range 0\~32767. These numbers are converted to percentages by the LT command.
    • Maximum definition for the gap of each line type is 20.
  • The sum of the gap parameters must be greater than 0.
  • Specifying an index number with no gap parameters sets the line type to the default pattern for that index number.
  • Using the command with no parameter sets all line types to the defaults.

WU - Select unit for pen width

WU [t] [;]

t ; unit type

- This command specifies the pen width unit. It applies to all pens.

- t must be either 0 or 1.

- If t is 0 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as a reading in millimeters.

- If t is 1 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as percentage of the distance between the scaling points P1 and P2. The default width is 0.1% of the diagonal distance from P1 to P2.

  • The command sets all pen widths to a default of 0.35mm. Hence it should be used before the PW command.
    • Using the command with no parameter defaults the type to 0 (metric) and all pen widths to 0.35mm.

- The unit type is not affected by a DF command.

7.6.1. Introduction

The character group commands enable you to print text to accompany your HP-GL/2 generated graphics without leaving graphics mode. You can use any font that would be available to you in LaserJet emulation mode and you can modify various printing characteristics of the text such as the size, direction and slant of the characters.

SD - Define standard font

SD [ attribute, value ] [...] [;]

attribute ; a font attribute to be defined value ; the value of the attribute

  • This command allows you to define the standard font and its attribute.
  • attribute takes a value from 1-7. 1=symbol set, 2=spacing, 3=pitch, 4=height, 5=posture, 6=stroke weight and 7=typeface.
    • value selects an option for the specified attribute.
  • If the defined font is not available another font is selected that matches the defined font's specified attributes as closely as possible. The symbol set attribute has the highest priority for matching and typeface has the lowest.
  • If you omit all parameters, the default standard font attributes are used. These are shown below.

AD - Define alternate font

AD [ attribute, value ] [...] [;]

attribute : a font attribute to be defined

value : the value of the attribute

• This command allows you to define the alternate font and its attribute.

• attribute takes a value from 1-7.

1 = symbol set, 2 = spacing, 3 = pitch, 4 = height, 5 = posture, 6 = stroke weight and 7 = typeface.

- value selects an option for the specified attribute. For further explanation about attribute values see the previous SD command.

- If the defined font is not available, another font is selected that matches the defined font's specified attributes as closely as possible. The symbol set attribute has the highest priority for matching and typeface has the lowest.

- If you omit all parameters, the default alternate font attributes are used.

SS - Select standard font

ss [;]

- This command allows you to select the standard font, as defined by the SD command. All subsequently printed labels will appear in the standard font.

- The SS command is equivalent to including the SI control code (ASCII 15) in a label.

- The default standard font is the HP-GL stick font.

- The font remains current until the printer is initialized with an IN command, until the default conditions are resorted with the DF command or until an SA command is used.

SA - Select alternate font

SA [;]

- This command allows you to select the alternate font, as defined by the AD command. All subsequently printed labels will appear in the alternate font

- The SA command is equivalent to including the SO control code (ASCII 14) in a label.

- The font remains current until the printer is initialized with an IN command, until the default conditions are restored with the DF command or until an SS command is used.

FI - Select primary font

FI font-ID [;]

font-ID ; the identity number of any accessible font.

  • This command allows you to select any accessible font, which has previously been given an identity number in LaserJet mode, as the primary (standard) font. All subsequently printed labels will appear in the primary font.
  • For scalable fonts this command must be preceded by an SD command specifying the font's point size or pitch.
  • When the FI command is issued the primary (standard) font's attributes are set to be those of the selected font (provided it is available).

FN - Select secondary font

FN font-ID [;]

font-ID : the identity number of any accessible font

  • This command allows you to select any accessible font, which has previously been given an identity number in PCL mode, as the secondary (alternate) font. All subsequently printed labels will appear in the secondary font.
  • For scalable fonts the FN command must be preceded by an AD command specifying the font's point size or pitch.
  • When the FN command is issued the secondary (alternate) font's attributes are set to be those of the selected font (provided it is available).

LB - Character plot

LB [ cs ] < terminator > [;]

cs : character string

• This command enables you to print character strings.
- You must supply a terminator at the end of your string. You can either use the default terminator, ETX (ASCII 3), or define your own terminating character using the DT command.

  • A label can include non-printing characters such as a carriage return or line feed.
  • Printing takes place irrespective of whether the pen is currently up or down.
  • The label is printed starting from the current cursor position and using any label origin setting that you have made with the LO command.

DT - Define label terminator

DT [c[,m]] [;]

c: Character

m : mode

  • This command allows you to specify the character that terminates strings printed with the LB instruction.
  • The character immediately following DT is taken to be the terminator. Hence, do not put a space between the DT and your chosen character. If you do, space will be interpreted as the terminator in all subsequent LB commands.
  • m , the mode, determines whether the terminating character is printed as part of the label or not. If m = 0 the character is printed; if m = 1 it is not.
  • If you do not specify a value for m the terminating character is not printed.
  • If you leave out the character parameter the default character ETX (ASCII 3) is used as the terminator.
  • This setting is effective until the another DT is invoked or IN or DF is performed.

LO - Label origin

LO [p] [;]

  • This instruction allows you to position labels in different ways relative to the current pen location.
  • You can centre, left justify or right justify labels relative to the current pen location and print them on, above or below the current location.
  • You can combine an offset distance, equal to 25% of the current font's point size, with any of the above origin positions.
  • p must either be in the range 1 - 9, 11 - 10 and 21. The label origin position specified by each p parameter value is shown below. 21 sets the label origin to the same one in PCL.

P=1 P=4 P=7 .

P=2 P=5 P=8

P=3 P=6 P=9

P = 11 P = 14^* P = 17

· P = 12 P = 15 P = 18

^ P=13 P=16 P=19 ^

  • When you use an LO instruction the carriage return point is set to be the new label origin. To send the pen back to a label's origin when you have finished printing it, include a carriage return between the last character of the label and the terminating character.
  • If a label contains embedded carriage returns, each character string following a carriage return is printed starting from the label origin.
  • If you omit the parameter the label origin is the bottom left hand corner of the first character's character cell - equivalent to LO11;.
  • The command remains in effect until the printer is initialized with an IN command, until the default conditions are restored with the DF command or until another LO command is used.

DI - Absolute direction

DI [ run, rise ] [;]

run : X direction component rise : Y direction component

  • This command determines the direction in which subsequent labels will be printed.

  • Values for run and rise are clamped real numbers.
  • When you issue a DI instruction the carriage return point is set to the current pen location.
    • The instruction is ignored if run and rise are both 0.
  • Any text path that you set with the DV instruction will combine with the current printing direction to determine the layout of characters on the page.
  • If you omit the parameters the printing direction is horizontal.
  • The label direction which is specified by this command is not affected by changes in the location of P1 and P2.

DR - Relative direction

DR [ run, rise ] [;]

run : X-component of the printing direction expressed as a percentage of the x-component of the distance between P1 and P2.

rise : Y-component of the printing direction expressed as a percentage of the y-component of the distance between P1 and P2.

  • This command determines the direction in which subsequent labels will be printed.
  • Values for run and rise are clamped real numbers.
  • The instruction is ignored if run and rise are both 0.
  • When you issue a DR instruction the carriage return point is set to the current pen location.
  • Any text path that you set with the DV instruction will combine with the current printing direction to determine the layout of characters on the page.
  • If you change the positions of P1 and P2 the printing direction will change accordingly.
  • If you omit the parameters the printing direction is horizontal and the run = 1% of |P2X-P1X|.

- Actual values for run and rise are changed relative to the P1 and P2 value. It is calculated as below: actual run = run parameter / 100 x (P2x - P1x) actual rise = rise parameter / 100 x (P2y - P1y)

DV - Define variable text path

DV [ path [,line] ];]

path : text printing path - horizontal or vertical, and left to right, right to left, upwards or downwards.

line: the effect of a line feed.

  • This command determines the printing direction for labels and the carriage return point.
  • Permissible values of path are 0, 1, 2 and 3. If path = 0 labels are printed horizontally and left to right - normal printing. If path = 1 labels are printed vertically downwards - characters appear in a vertical column. If path = 2 labels are printed horizontally and right to left - words appear backwards. If path = 3 labels are printed vertically upwards - characters appear in a vertical column, reading from bottom to top.
  • The value of line must be either 0 or 1. If line = 0, each time a line feed is encountered the current pen position is moved at an angle of 90^ to the path in a clockwise direction. Hence, if path = 1 the second line of text is printed to the left of the first line. If line = 1 each time a line feed is encountered the current pen position is moved at an angle of 90^ to the path in an anticlockwise direction. Hence, if path = 2 the second line of text is printed below the first line.
  • If you do not use a DV command the default text path is horizontal, left to right: line feeds will move the pen position at 90^ to the text clockwise. This is equivalent to using the command DV0,0;
  • If you omit both parameters the text path is horizontal, left to right.

CP - Relative character movement

CP [ spaces [,lines]] [;]

spaces ; the number of text spaces the pen position is moved.

lines ; the number of text lines the pen position is moved.

  • Use this command to re-position the pen. The command moves the pen the specified number of lines and spaces corresponding to the currently selected font's pitch and line spacing. (For proportionally spaced fonts the width of the space character is used to determine the distance moved horizontally). All movement is relative to the current label printing direction.
  • spaces is the number of spaces that the pen moves. A positive value of spaces moves the pen right from the current pen location: a negative value moves it to the left.
  • lines is the number of lines that the pen moves. A negative value offset moves the pen down from the current pen location: a positive value moves it upwards.
    • Values for spaces and lines are clamped real numbers.
  • The command only moves the pen and does not draw lines, irrespective of whether the pen is currently up or down.
  • On completion of the command, the previous pen status (up or down) is restored.
  • The height of text lines (the vertical distance that a line feed moves the pen position) is fixed for every font. However, it can be adjusted using the ES instruction.
  • If you omit all parameters, the pen position moves to the carriage return point and then down one line - hence CP; is equivalent to a carriage return followed by a line feed.

pen : the pen used to edge characters

• This command determines how characters are edged and filled.
- Only scalable fonts can be both filled and edged - bitmap fonts and the stick font cannot be edged and can only be filled with raster fill, shading or PCL cross-hatch patterns. Scalable characters can be filled with any pattern specified by the FT command.
- Permissible values of fill are 0, 1, 2 and 3. If fill = 0 characters are filled with a solid fill and edged. If fill = 1 characters are edged but not filled. (Bitmap characters and stick font characters are filled as they cannot be edged.) If fill = 2 characters are filled using the current fill type, but not edged. If fill = 3 characters are filled, using the current fill type and edged.
- pen can be either 0 or 1. A value of 0 specifies the edging pen to be white; a value of 1 selects the black pen for edging. If no pen is specified in the instruction the current pen, as selected with the SP command, is used.
- The width of the edging pen is proportional to the character's point size.
- The fill line width used for cross hatch patterns is set with the PW command.
- If you omit both parameters solid fill and the white edging pen are selected - this is equivalent to CF0.0;
- If the command is not used all characters are solid and unedged.
- A CF command remains in effect until an IN command is used to initialize the printer, a DF command is used to restore the default settings or another CF command is invoked.

SI - Set absolute character size

SI [ width, height ] [;]

width : the width in centimeters of printed characters

height : the height in centimeters of printed characters

  • This command allows you to specify the size of the characters that you print with the LB instruction in centimeters.
  • width specifies character width and is a clamped real number. Negative values of width produce right-to-left mirror image characters.
  • height specifies the height of a capital letter and is a clamped real number. Negative values of height produce upside-down mirror image characters.
  • If you change character size, the line width used to draw stick font characters may also change.
  • If you omit the parameters, the character size is as specified by the most recent SD or AD command.
  • If an SB1; command has previously been issued, printed characters may not be exactly the size that you specify.
  • If an SB1; command has been issued, specifying a negative value will not produce mirror image characters.

SR - Set relative character size

SR [ width, height ] [;]

width ; the width of printed characters expressed as a percentage of the x-component of the distance between P1 and P2.

height ; the height of printed characters expressed as a percentage of the y-component of the distance between P1 and P2.

  • This command allows you to specify the size of the character that you print with the LB instruction relative to the scaling points P1 and P2.
  • width sets the character width to a percentage of |P2x-P1x| and is a clamped real number. Negative values of width produce right-to-left mirror image characters
  • height sets the character height to a percentage of |P2y-P2y| and is a clamped real number. Negative values of height produce upside-down mirror image character.
  • If you change the positions of P1 and P2, the character size will change unless the scaling points remain in the same relative positions.
  • If you move P2 to the left of, or below P1, characters will appear in mirror image.
  • If you change the character size, the line width used to draw stick font characters may also change.
  • If you omit the parameters, the character size is as specified by the most recent SD or AD command.

SL - Character slant

SL [ tan φ ] [;]

tan - tangent of character slant angle ()

  • This command determines the slant of characters printed with subsequent LB commands.
  • is the angle between characters and the vertical. A positive value of (and ) produces forward sloping characters, while a negative value results in characters which slant backwards.
    • Values of tan are clamped real numbers.
    • A value of 0 for tan results in upright characters.
  • If you omit the parameter, is take to be 0 and any characters printed will be upright.

SB - Scalable or bitmap fonts

SB [n] [;]

n : font category selection

  • This command enables you to restrict the range of selectable fonts to scalable fonts and the stick font only.
  • n can be 0 or 1. If n = 0 you may only select scalable fonts (or the stick font). If n = 1 you may select any type of font.
  • An SB command can alter the current standard and alternate font selections.
  • Setting n to 1 allows the selection of bitmapped fonts and has the following side-effects:
  • Bitmap characters cannot be edged.
  • Bitmap characters can only be printed in orientations of 0^ , 90^ , 180^ or 270^ .
    • The SL (character slant) command is not applied to bitmap fonts.
  • Bitmap font character sizes are approximate only.
  • The DF and IN commands set n to 0, - only scalable fonts and the stick fonts may be selected.
  • The FI and FN commands implicitly set n to 1 if you use either of them to select a bitmap font.
  • If you omit n from the command, only scalable fonts and the stick font may be selected. This is equivalent to an SB0; command.
    • The default setting is scalable fonts and stick font only.

ES - Extra space

ES [ width [,height] ] [;]

width : factor by which character spacing is changed. height : factor by which line spacing is changed

  • This command enables you to adjust the space between label characters and lines.
  • width specifies the factor by which to increase or decrease the character spacing. Positive numbers specify an increase and negative numbers a decrease.
  • height specifies the factor by which to increase or decrease the line spacing. Positive numbers specify an increase and negative numbers a decrease.
  • If you use the command without parameters, no extra space is used when labels are printed. This is equivalent to ES0,0;
  • An ES command remains in effect until another ES command is executed, a DF or IN command is executed or the printer is reset, either with the EscE command or from the control panel.

TD - Transparent data

TD [ mode ] [;]

mode : normal or transparent data mode.

- This command enables you to specify whether control characters should perform their normal function or should be printed.

  • mode is set to either 0 or 1. If mode is set to 0, control codes perform their normal functions and are not printed. If mode=1, all characters are printed, if possible. No control characters perform any function except the label terminator. Any non-printing or undefined characters appear as a space.
  • If you use the command without parameters, control codes will perform their normal functions and will not be printed. This is equivalent to TD0;

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. About PJL

Printer Job Language(PJL) provides job status control by sending the printer status information to the application. PJL can be a valuable tool for the single-user environment, but is a much more useful tool for the networking / sharing environment.

PJL

Emulations ( BR-Script, PCL, IBM, EPSON etc...)

Printer

PJL allows job-level control that cannot be accomplished with PCL, Postscript or other emulations. PJL includes five major features.

(1) Printer language switching

With PJL, it is possible to switch positively between the printer languages such as PCL, Postscript, Epson, IBM and Diablo directly from applications.

(2) Printer status readback

PJL can provide information such as printer model, configuration, printer feature setting, error information and other status information to the application.

(3) Front panel control

PJL can remotely control the printer's control panel settings and messages.

(4) Easy of utilization

All PJL commands except the UEL command have a user-friendly construction using printable characters and English words.

(5) Spooler control

PJL provides an improved spooler which can manage the printer better, particularly in a network environment.

Note :

The commands for Printer status readback or Front panel control can be invoked in modes other than PCL or BR-Script. However, the commands for printer status readback get the information from PCL or BR-Script and the commands for front panel control perform the settings for PCL or BR-Script.

1.2. In Case of Using PJL with a Non-PJL Printer

Our recent printer models support PJL, however, earlier models do not. If the PJL commands are sent to a non-PJL printer, the printer acts as follows;

1.2.1. PCL jobs

For a PCL printer which does not support the PJL language, the PJL command is printed as ASCII text until initial PCL printer reset command (E) is received. After receiving the PCL reset command, the printer ejects the page and proceeds with the PCL print job on a new page.

The print job is possibly followed by more printed PJL commands.

Without the PCL reset command, the PJL commands are printed as ASCII text on the same page as the PCL print job.

1.2.2. Postscript jobs

For Postscript printers, when the printer receives a PJL command, a Postscript error is reported. The Postscript job is discarded.

1.2.3. Other printer languages

According to the active emulation, the PJL command is understood differently. To avoid the problem, you should not use PJL commands on any non-PJL printer.

1.3. PJL Syntax and Format

Line feed character ( ASCII 10 )
Carriage Return ( ASCII 13 )
Space ( ASCII 32 )
Escape ( ASCII 27 )
Form Feed ( ASCII 12 )
White space which consists of someand
Printable characters

Format

PJL commands have 4 types of formats as shown below.

Format 1 % -12345X

This format is only used for the Universal Exit Language(UEL) command.

Format 2 @PJL []

This format allows a PJL line without a command, and is used to break several PJL command lines visually, to make it easier to see the PJL command lines.

Format 3 @PJL command [] []

This format is used only for the COMMENT and ECHO commands.

Format 4 @PJL command [command modifier : value] option=value []

This format is used for all other PJL commands.

PJL Syntax Rules:

PJL Syntax should be written according to the following rules.

  • "@PJL" must be uppercase. The other words of a PJL command are not case-sensitive.
  • Spacing between characters consists of one or more of either the space character (ASCII 32) or the horizontal tab character(ASCII 9).
  • White space should be placed as follows, depending on the location within the command.

  • White space must be placed between @PJL and the PJL command name and between the PJL command and command modifiers.

  • If a white space is placed in any other place in a command, it is optional.
  • If a white space is not placed between two portions of a command, the command is not valid.

1.4. Variables

PJL can use alphanumeric variables, numeric variableless and strings.

1.4.1. Alphanumeric variables

The first character must always be a character in the allowable range of letters and digits. Letters consists of the uppercase characters (ASCII 65-90) and lowercase characters (ASCII 97-122). Digits consists of the numbers 0-9 (ASCII 48-57).

<Example>
Brother2245 

1.4.2. Numeric variables

The number consists of digits with one optional decimal point and an optional + or - sign preceding the first digit.

<Example> <Wrong>
0.1234
-123.4 +.05
+123.0 -.05 

1.4.3. Strings

Strings consist of any combination of characters from ASCII 32 to 255, plus ASCII 9, except ASCII 34 (quotation marks), which are used to define the start and end of a string.

<Example>
"Print Job KKK"
"This is a sample string" 

1.5. Invalid Commands

There are two general types of invalid commands. Each type operates differently.

Syntax errors include :

  • unrecognized command and command modifier
  • strings which are missing quotation marks
    • numeric values which are missing digits before the decimal point

1.5.1. Syntax errors

Commands received with Syntax errors cause the printer to ignore the entire PJL command.

1.5.2. Syntax warning and semantic warning

Syntax warnings and semantic warnings are issued for commands which include unsupported options, values which are out of range, or wrong or missing commands, etc. When the printer receives commands which would create a syntax warning or semantic warning, it operates the command as long as possible, however, the portion of the command which would create a warning is ignored.

2. HOW TO USE PJL

2.1. Overview

PJL resides "above" printer languages such as Postscript and PCL. Each job can be distinguished from the other jobs by PJL, and it can switch between PJL commands and printer language commands for each job.

PJL Code PCL Job PJL Code Postscript Job PJL Code

2.2. PJL Job Requirement

Some conditions are required in order for PJL commands to work correctly. Jobs which follow these conditions will work correctly with a PJL printer in both single user and network environments.

  • All PJL jobs must begin and end with a UEL command.
  • The @PJL prefix must be placed immediately after the UEL command which starts PJL jobs, and can be followed by and . Characters, including control characters, must not be placed between the UEL command and the @PJL prefix.
  • Nothing must be placed after the UEL command which ends a PJL job.
  • is required to terminate all PJL commands. can be placed before , however, is optional and is ignored.
  • Blank lines must not exist. If a blank line is required, the @PJL line can be used.

3. COMMAND GROUP

4. KERNEL COMMANDS

4.1. Introduction

This section explains three PJL command, UEL, ENTER and COMMENT. These commands provide the minimum set of tools to operate job control.

UEL command (Universal Exit Command)

ENTER command

COMMENT command

4.2. UEL Command

The Universal Exit Command causes the printer to exit the current printer language and sets the printer into PJL mode.

Syntax

<ESC>% -12345X 

• The UEL command is a data stream sequence.
- The UEL command indicates to the current printer language to finish a job. If PJL is available, PJL commands which have not yet been executed are cancelled and the printer is ready to accept the next PJL command.
- The UEL command must be placed in the first and last position of all PJL job command sequences.
- Printers which have an Automatic I/O switching feature can use the UEL command in order to set job boundaries.
- The @PJL prefix which is placed at the beginning of a PJL job must follow immediately after the UEL command.
- If the printer receives codes other than the PJL prefix, it enables the default printer language and prints the job.
- ENTER command should be used in order to specify the printer language.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E.....PCL JOB.....<ESC>E
<ESC>%-12345X 

4.3. EXECUTE Command

The EXECUTE command orders the printer to execute the specified operation.

This command is supported only by HL-1050/1070/1250/1270N/1450/1470N/P2500/2400C/2400Ce/3400CN/1650/1670N/3260N/2460/7050/1850/1870N/5040/5050/5070N/5140/5150D/5170DN/2600CN/3450CN/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2700CN/2070N/5240/5250DN/5270DN/5280DW/4040CN/4050CDN/4070CDW/2140/2150N/2170W/5340D/5350DN/5370DW/5380DN/3040CN/3045CN/3070CW/3075CW/2130/2240D/2250DN/2270DW/4140CN/4150CDN/4570CDW/5440D/5450DN/5470DW/6180DW/S7000DN/3140CW/3150CDW/3150CDN/3170CDW/1110/1111/1112/1118/L8250CDN/L8350CDW(T)/L9200CDW(T)/L9300CDW(T)/L8260CDN/L8260CDW/L8360CDW(T)/L9310CDW/L2300/L2300D/L2320D/L2321D/2260/2260D/L2305W/L2340DW/L2360DN/L2361DN/2560DN/L2360DW/L2365DW/L2366DW/2569DW/1212W/1210W/1210WR/1212WR/1210WE/1211W/1218W/1200/1201/1202/1208/L3270CDW/3190CDW/L3230CDW/3160CDW/L3230CDW/L3230CDN/L3210CW printers. 

Syntax

@PJL EXECUTE operation []

Parameters

- operation

SHUTDOWN : The printer goes into sleep mode.

DEMOPAGE : The printer prints the demo page.

RESIFONT : The printer prints the list of resident fonts.

PERMFONT: The printer prints the list of permanent download fonts.

PRTCONFIG: The printer prints the list of printer settings.

  • If the printer receives this command, it immediately executes the specified operation.

4.4. ENTER Command

The ENTER command specifies which emulation the printer uses to print data.

Syntax

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = emulation [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

  • emulation
    The variables depend on the printer model.
  • The ENTER command must be placed immediately before print data.
  • The specified emulation will be used immediately after the terminating of the ENTER command.
  • If the printer does not receive the ENTER command, it uses the default printer language which is set by the control panel or the printer language which is set by the SET PERSONALITY command.
  • When a printer emulation is selected by the ENTER command, the printer must switch to the defined printer language.
  • If this command specifies an emulation which is not supported, data after this command is ignored until the next UEL command.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E.....PCL JOB.....<ESC>E
<ESC>%-12345X
@PJL COMMENT Start of Postscript job <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <CR><LF>

<ESC>%-12345X
@PJL COMMENT End of Postscript job <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

4.5. COMMENT Command

The COMMENT command is used to add an information line, such as an explanation for the PJL command.

Syntax

@PJL COMMENT remarks [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

  • remarks
    Printable characters (ASCII 33-255) and White space which contains and )
  • The COMMENT command is helpful for placing an explanation of a PJL command.
  • The COMMENT command can be placed on the PJL line anywhere between the UEL command and the ENTER command.
    • The COMMENT command is terminated by .

4.6. Printer Language Switching

There are three methods of switching printer languages.

4.6.1. Explicit switching

Explicit switching means the method which uses the PJL ENTER LANGUAGE command to switch to the desired emulation. As the desired emulation is explicitly specified, this method is the most reliable.

4.6.2. Implicit switching

If a default printer language is configured, and the PJL ENTER command is not described on a PJL line, the printer uses the default printer emulation. This may not always select your desired emulation.

4.6.3. Context switching

If the printer is set to 'automatic emulation selection' and the PJL ENTER command is not described in the PJL command, the printer investigates the incoming data and decides the required printer emulation. The printer can select the printer language by this switching, however, the PJL ENTER command is recommended to select the printer language accurately.

5. JOB SEPARATION COMMANDS

5.1. Introduction

This section explains two PJL command, JOB and EOJ. These commands are used to determine the boundaries of a job. When these commands are used with status readback, the printer also can send status information at the beginning and end of each job.

5.2. JOB Command

The JOB Command sends information at the start of a PJL job to the printer and aligns the job with the page status information. It also specifies which pages of a job are to be printed.

Note:

JOB and EOJ command are always used in pairs. You must not use one without the other.

Syntax

@PJL JOB [NAME = "job name"] [START = first page] [END = last page]
[PASSWORD = "password"] [<CR>] <LF> 

• NAME = "job name"

This option NAME describes the print job as a job name. Printable characters (ASCII 33-255) and spaces or horizontal tab characters can be used for the job name. It can contain 80 characters max. and must be enclosed in double quotes. If the NAME option is set, the job name is included in the unsolicited job.

• START = first page

This option START is used to provide a non-printing mode. You can specify from which page printing is to start. If the START option is not set, the printer starts printing at the beginning of the job.

first page = 1 to 2,147,483,647 Default value = 1 

• END = last page

The END option indicates the page number of the last page to be printed. If the END option is not set, the printer prints to the end of the job. If the end of job is encountered before the START page, no pages are printed. If the end of job is encountered before the END page, printing terminates.

last page = 1 to 2,147,483,647 Default value = prints entire job 

- PASSWORD = password ( HL-1660e/2060/2400C/2400Ce/3400CN/1650/1670N/3260N/2460/7050/1850/1870N/5040/5050/5070N/5140/5150D/5170DN/2600CN/2700CN/3450CN/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2070N/5240/5250DN/5270DN/5280DW/4040CN/4050CDN/4070CDW/2140/2150N/2170W/5340D/5350DN/5370DW/5380DN/3040CN/3045CN/3070CW/3075CW/2130/2240D/2250DN/2270DW/4140CN/4150CDN/4570CDW/5440D/5450DN/5470DW/6180DW/S7000DN/3140CW/3150CDW/3150CDN/3170CDW/L8250CDN/L8350CDW(T)/L9200CDW(T)/L9300CDW(T)/L8260CDN/L8260CDW/L8360CDW(T)/L9310CDW/L2300/L2300D/L2320D/L2321D/2260/2260D/L2305W/L2340DW/L2360DN/L2361DN/2560DN/L2360DW/L2365DW/L2366DW/2569DW/ HL-1212W, 1210W, 1210WR, 1212WR, 1210WE, 1211W, 1218W/L3270CDW/3190CDW/L3230CDW/3160CDW/L3230CDW/L3230CDN/L3210CWonly ) When the password is set by the DEFAULT command, modifying the NVRAM by using the DEFAULT or INITIALIZE commands is locked with the password. Sending the correct password with this command can unlock this until the EOJ command is executed.

password = 0 to 65,535 Default value = 0 

When the printer receives the JOB command, the UEL command is not recognized as a job boundary until an EOJ command is received.

  • If the UEL command is placed between the PJL JOB and EOJ commands, it is handled as a printer language reset. In this case, UEL resets the printer environment to the PJL Current environment, not to the User Default Environment.
  • If your application supports status readback capabilities, you can monitor the job status by the USTATUS command with the JOB option.
  • If job status is available and a JOB command is received, the printer returns a job status message.

Note:

Resetting the page count according to unsolicited page status information does not affect the current page.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "KKK data from spooler" <CR><LF>

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Postscript Job <CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "YYY data from spooler 2" <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <CR><LF>
%!PS......PS    JOB......^D
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ NAME = "End of YYY data" <CR><LF>

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E......PCL JOB......<ESC>E
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ NAME = "End of KKK" <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF> 

5.3. EOJ Command

The EOJ command indicates to the printer that the job is completed. You must use this command whenever you use the JOB command.

Note:

JOB and EOJ command always are used in pairs. You must not use one without the other.

Syntax

@PJL EOJ [NAME = "job name"] [<CR>] <LF> 

• NAME = "job name"
The EOJ command can name the print job. The job name is a string and must be enclosed in double quotes in the command syntax. The job name need not be same as the "job name" of the JOB command. If the NAME option is described, the unsolicited end-of-job status includes the job name. Job names can use printable characters (ASCII 33-255) and spaces or horizontal tab characters up to a maximum of 80 characters.
• The EOJ command indicates the end of a job.
- Resets the PJL Current Environment variables to the default values.
- Terminates the non-printing mode.
- When the EOJ command is received, the printer returns unsolicited job status information.
- The EOJ command resets the page number associated with unsolicited page status.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "KKK data from spooler" <CR><LF>
    <ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
    @PJL COMMENT Postscript Job <CR><LF>
    @PJL JOB NAME = "YYY data from spooler 2" <CR><LF>
    @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <CR><LF>
    %!PS......PS    JOB......^D
    <ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
    @PJL EOJ NAME = "End of YYY data" <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E......PCL JOB......<ESC>E
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL<CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ NAME = "End of KKK" <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

6. ENVIRONMENT COMMANDS

6.1. Introduction

Our recent printers have many features which you are able to set using printer commands, through the printer control panel or by using the remote printer console program. A combination of PJL commands and printer emulation commands allows you to set printer features to the desired state.

This chapter describes the setting of printer features known as printer environments, PJL commands you are able to use to set printer features to a desired state are as follows;

- DEFAULT

Set the default value for environment variables. (storing them in non volatile RAM, so called NV-RAM)

- INITIALIZE

Reset the current and default PJL variables to the factory default values

- RESET

Reset the current PJL values to the default values

- SET

Set an environment variable to a specified value until the next PJL reset condition.

6.1.1. Print environment

The printer constantly maintains four environments, which are listed below in priority order

1. Factory Default Environment

These environment setting values are permanently stored in the printer. The printer uses these settings when it is powered on for the first time after shipping from the factory, and after the @PJL INITIALIZE command is performed.

2. User Default Environment

These environment setting values are stored in the printer's NV-RAM and can be altered through the printer's control panel or by using the Remote Printer Console software or the @PJL DEFAULT command. These values are placed into the PJL Current Environment following any PJL reset condition.

3. PJL Current Environment

These environment setting values contain the current PJL feature settings. Current settings are based on the User Default values and include any settings modified by the @PJL SET command. These settings are changed to the User Default values when a PJL reset occurs.

4. Modified Print Environment

These environment settings become active just after a printer language is entered. At that time, the PJL Current environment values are loaded into the Modified Print Environment and act as a base set of features. Then, Printer language commands are used to change or modify feature settings to the desired state.

Whenever an emulation is activated or a reset command is received (a reset command includes any printer language reset or PJL reset), the PJL Current environment settings are loaded into the Modified Print environment.

The diagram below illustrates how the environments interact and how the modified print environment is affected.

    F --> G["MODIFIED PRINT ENVIRONMENT"]
    C --> H["CONTROL PANEL OR @PJL DEFAULT"]
    E --> I["@PJL SET"]

6.1.2. PJL reset conditions

The result of PJL reset condition is different from that of a printer language reset (for example, ESC E). Printer language reset loads the PJL Current Environment values into the Modified Print Environment. PJL reset conditions load the User Default values into the PJL Current Environment, which are then loaded into the Modified Print Environment.

PJL reset occurs on the following events.

  1. Power on
  2. UEL command (when not between a JOB and EOJ command pair)
  3. @ PJL INITIALIZE command
  4. @ PJL RESET command
  5. @ PJL JOB or EOJ command
  6. Other printer-specific events
  7. Reset from Control Panel
  8. Language specific exit command
  9. Emulation switching command

6.1.3. Remember these points about environments

Remember the following points when you use PJL to set the printer to a desired state.

  1. The current feature settings are the same as the control panel values (or values in the remote printer console program) when beginning a PJL job.
  2. The current feature settings (Modified Print Environment) become the same as the PJL Current Environment when the printer enters a printer language. The feature settings are modified by the printer language command once a printer language is started. All other settings are overridden by printer language commands.
  3. The SET command changes the PJL Current Environment settings. These settings are effective until the next PJL reset condition.
  4. Control Panel settings, the remote printer console program settings or the DEFAULT command changes the User Default Environment.
  5. Printer language commands change the Modified Print Environment. These settings are effective during a printer language job. The PJL Current Environment settings are loaded into the Modified Print Environment by a printer language specific reset, for example, ESC E for PCL.

  6. Always use the PJL RESET command after a job is completed if the SET command is used in the PJL job.

6.1.4. PJL environment variables

This section lists the PJL environment variables. There are two kinds of PJL environment variables, General PJL environment variables and Printer language -specific variables. For all variables, except the read-only variables, value settings can be modified using @PJL SET, @PJL RESET, @PJL DEFAULT, and @PJL INITIALIZE.

By using the @ PJL INQUIRE and @ PJL DINQUIRE, you can request value settings for the printer features. For the details of these commands, see the next section.

Note:

  1. Use PJL commands only when no printer language commands are available for a desired feature.
  2. When setting printer features with PJL, use the SET and RESET commands when you want to affect the current PJL job only.
    If you want to affect more than the current job, use the DEFAULT and INITIALIZE commands.
  3. Supported variables depend on your printer model.

The currently defined PostScript specific variable is listed as follows. This variable can be set using the LPARM : POSTSCRIPT option.

VariableDescription Sample Value Range
PRTPSERRSThe printing of a PostScript error page is enabled or disabled by this variableOFF, ON

6.3. Default Command

The DEFAULT command changes the User-Default environment which is stored in NV-RAM and it is activated following a PJL reset condition. The current print environment is not affected by the DEFAULT command, but when a PJL reset condition happens, this command takes effect. This doesn't change the current print environment, but is activated when a PJL reset condition happens.

It is recommended to restrict the use of the DEFAULT command when the printer is shared by several users such as in a network environment. This allows use of the standard print environment and avoids changing default features for each print job. If you have to change the default for a particular print job, use the SET command.

Syntax

@PJL DEFAULT [LPARAM : personality] variable = value [<CR>] <LF> 
  • LPARM : Personality
    This optional parameter is used to set personality-specific (emulation) environment variables.

• variable = Value

This parameter is used to set one of the environment variables to the specified value. For example, the @PJL DEFAULT RESOLUTION = 300 command sets the user-default resolution to 300 dpi. Use the @PJL INFO VARIABLES command to obtain valid variables and the range of values for each variable. This command can request the information directly from the printer.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Control Panel Defaults <CR><LF>
@PJL DEFAULT PAGEPROTECT = LEGAL <CR><LF>
@PJL DEFAULT LPARM : PCL SYMSET = PC850 <CR><LF>
@PJL RESET <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

6.4. Initialize Command

The INITIALIZE command resets the PJL Current Environment and User Default Environment variables to the Factory Default values. I/O configuration values and the unsolicited status settings are not affected by this command.

It is recommended to restrict the use of the INITIALIZE command when the printer is shared by several users such as in a networking environment in order to use a standard environment and avoid having default features changed by different print jobs.

Syntax :

@PJL INITIALIZE [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters :

• The INITIALIZE command has no parameters.
- The INITIALIZE command resets the following environment variables to the Factory Default values.
- If any additional personality (emulation) is added to the printer, the printer may support more personality-specific variables than the variables listed. In any case, the INITIALIZE command resets the PJL Current and User Default environment values for all personalities to their factory default.

Example :

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT setting to <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT factory defaults <CR><LF>
@PJL INITIALIZE <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

6.5. Reset Command

The PJL RESET command resets the PJL Current Environment variables to the User Default values.

Use this command at the end of any PJL jobs in which the PJL SET command was used.

Syntax

@PJL RESET [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

• The RESET command has no parameters
- When an application such as a Spooler or Print Data Generator uses the SET command to set PJL variables, the application has to conclude with the RESET command (before the UEL command) to return the variables to the previous state.
- The RESET command resets the environment variables to their user default values. In any case, the RESET command resets the PJL Current settings for all personalities to the User Default values.
- Use the @PJL INFO VARIABLES command to obtain valid variables and the range of values for each variable. This command requests this information directly from the printer.

Examples

<ESC>% -12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Reset variables to <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT control panel settings <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 300 <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RET = DARK <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E ....PCL job ...<ESC>% -12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Reset to return to <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT control panel settings <CR><LF>
@PJL RESET <CR><LF>
<ESC>% -12345X 

6.6. Set Command

The SET command enables you to change the value of PJL Current Environment variables during a PJL job until a PJL reset condition resets the default values.

Use this command to make a job-specific environment.

Syntax

@PJL SET [LPARAM : personality] variable = value [<CR>] <LF> 

• LPARM : Personality
This optional parameter is used to set personality(emulation) -specific environment variables.

• variable = value

This parameter sets one of the environment variables to the specified value.

For example, @ PJL SET RESOLUTION = 300 command sets the current resolution to 300 dpi. For a list of variables and values, see the following table.

- Use the @PJL INFO VARIABLES to obtain valid variables and the range of values for each variable. This command can request this information directly from the printer.

Parameters

  • The printer control panel setting values and the feature settings stored in NV-RAM are not affected by the values modified with the SET command.
  • The setting values selected with the SET command are valid until the next PJL reset condition occurs.
  • If the SET command is used in a job, use the RESET command after the job to reset the printer to User default settings.

Examples:

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Setting PCL job <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT to desired state <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RET = DARK <CR><LF>
@PJL SET PAGEPROTECT = OFF <CR><LF>
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>

7. STATUS READBACK COMMANDS

7.1. Introduction

Applications can request, by sending a PJL command to the printer, information such as the configuration and status of the printer. The printer can be programmed to send back this information when requested and also can send back voluntarily unsolicited information of its status such as cover open, off-line state, toner empty, displayed prompt message on the LCD and other necessary information.

PJL Status Readback will help you to program the application to appropriately set the printer settings.

In this chapter, you can learn how to use PJL Status Readback in programming an application. The following Status Readback Commands are described :

  • INQUIRE ... requests the information of the specified PJL Default setting (PJL Current Environment) set by @PJL SET or @PJL RESET command
  • DINQUIRE ... requests the information of the specified User Default setting (User Default Environment) set by @PJL DEFAULT or @PJL INITIALIZE command or control panel
  • ECHO ... request the printer to send back to the host computer a comment for the purpose of synchronization with each other in order to start communication
  • INFO ... requests a specified category of information from the printer
  • USTATUS ... gives the printer permission to send back unsolicited information.
  • USTATUSOFF ... turns off all unsolicited status information set by USTATUS

Job Recovery is also described in this chapter.

7.1.1. Synchronization with the printer

The printer sends the status responses to the same I/O port as it received the request from. Therefore, in a shared or network environment, if the I/O port was used by another user and the printer is still processing the previous job, the printer may send a response of the status of the previous user's job against the request from the current application. In order to make sure that an application can receive correct responses for its request, it must synchronize itself with the printer by sending the ECHO command so as to be assured that the printer is ready for communication to you.

7.1.2. Basic format of status readback responses

The printer sends its status information to the host computer in the following format :

• starts with the @PJL prefix

• ends with a character

- All the data is in a readable ASCII format.

Each line in the PJL status responses is in the following format :

• starts with a specific keyword

• ends with

For example, the readback response against the @PJL DINQUIRE is :

@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable<CR><LF> value<CR><LF> <FF> 

The application must read all the data between the @PJL and codes. If the application can not understand the meaning of the lines, it must ignore them. Future printers may send currently unused keywords.

Refer to each command description to learn about the format of responses from the printer.

7.2. Inquire Command

The INQUIRE command is used in order to get the information of the current value of a specified variable in the PJL DEFAULT setting. (PJL environment). It is possible to get the information for variables the value of which PJL cannot change (Read-only).

This INQUIRE command can request only one variable at a time. If you would like to get the information from multiple variables, send multiple INQUIRE commands or the PJL INFO VARIABLES command which responds with all the variables in the PJL Default settings (PJL Default Environment).

Syntax

@PJL INQUIRE [LPARAM : personality] variable [<CR>] <LF> 

Response Syntax

@PJL INQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable <CR><LF>
value <CR><LF>
<FF> 

If the variable is not supported by the printer, it returns the response in the following syntax :

@PJL INQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable <CR><LF>
"?" <CR><LF>
<FF> 

- LPARM : personality

This optional parameter must be used when requesting the information of printer language-specific variables, such as the font number in the PJL DEFAULT setting.

- variable : variable

This is a parameter which specifies which variable you would like to get the information about among the PJL Default settings (PJL Current Environment). The variables which can be used in this command are listed in Appendix A. You can also check by sending the @PJL INFO VARIABLES command to the printer.

- value

This is the value of the parameter requested by the variable parameter.

Examples

7.3. DINQUIRE Command

The DINQUIRE command is used to get the information of the default value of a specific variable in the PJL Environment. (User Default Settings). It is also possible to get the value for variables which PJL cannot change (Read-only).

The returned value of User Default Settings is identical to the Control Panel Setting.

This DINQUIRE command can request only one variable at a time. If you would like to get information from more variables, send multiple DINQUIRE commands.

Syntax:

@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARAM : personality] variable [<CR>] <LF> 

Response Syntax:

@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable <CR><LF>
value <CR><LF>
<FF> 

If the variable is not supported by the printer, it returns the response in the following syntax :

@PJL DINQUIRE [LPARM : personality] variable <CR><LF>
"?" <CR><LF>
<FF> 

• LPARM : personality

This optional parameter must be used when requesting information about printer language-specific variables such as the font number in the User Default setting.

- variable

<FF> 

7.4. ECHO Command

The ECHO command requests the printer to send back a specified message, in order to ensure that the printer is ready for communication with the application and that the received answer from the printer is what the application requested. The application must send this command before starting PJL communication.

After sending the ECHO command, the application must ignore any status information from the printer before it receives the response from this command, because not receiving the response from this command means that the printer is still processing the previous job and its status information is for the previous job environment. When the application receives the correct response for the requested ECHO command, the printer is now ready for the application and you can be sure that the status information following is for the requested command by the application.

Syntax

@PJL ECHO [< words >] [<CR>] <LF> 

Response Syntax

@PJL ECHO [< words >] <CR><LF>
<FF> 

-

The beginning of this parameter must be a printable character. Then this parameter consists of characters from ASCII 33 to 255, space characters and horizontal tab characters.

This < words > parameter can be written without quotation marks as this is not a string of variables.

The parameter is recommended to be unique, distinguishable words from other print jobs, such as the time determined by the real time clock and user name, so as to confirm the received message from the printer is definitely the answer for the ECHO command which the application sent.

The length of the must be within 80 characters.

Parameters

Parameter Valid characters
ASCII 33 to 255,,,

Example

The application sends the following example to the printer :

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT the ECHO command follows <CR><LF>
@PJL ECHO This is a sample 22:03:00 <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

The printer sends back the answer for the above ECHO command :

@PJL ECHO This is a sample 22:03:00 <CR><LF>
<FF> 

After receiving the above answer, all the messages from the printer are the requested information from the application, except for unsolicited status information.

7.5. INFO Command

The INFO command requests the printer to send back information on a specific category of the printer such as 'ID' (model name), 'CONFIG' (printer configuration), 'MEMORY' (available printer memory), 'STATUS' (current printer status), 'VARIABLES' (list of setting variables), 'USTATUS' (list of unsolicited status variables), 'PAGECOUNT' (total printing page number of the printer), 'PHYSICALMEMORY' (Physical memory size of printer) as shown in the following table.

This INFO command can request the information from only one category at a time. If you would like to get the information from more categories, send multiple INFO commands.

Syntax

@PJL INFO category [<CR>] <LF> 

Response Syntax

@PJL INFO category <CR><LF>
[lines of printable characters or <WS> with <CR><LF> at the end of each line]
<FF> 

If the variable is not supported by the printer, it returns the response in the following syntax :

@PJL INFO category <CR><LF>
"? "<CR><LF>
<FF>

7.5.1. ID category

The application can use @PJL INFO ID command to find out the printer model name. As the features of the printer may be changed by future revisions, the application should check them by using the @PJL INFO CONFIG command.

Example

The application sends the following command to the printer :

<ESC>% -12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL INFO ID <CR><LF>
<ESC>% -12345X 

The printer sends back the answer for the above INFO command if the printer name is HL-1660e:

@PJL INFO ID<CR><LF>
"Brother HL-1660e"<CR><LF>
<FF> 

7.5.2. CONFIG category

The application can use @PJL INFO CONFIG command to have the printer return a list of printer configuration information. The list consists of the information on paper sources, paper sizes, languages, USTATUS (unsolicited status) commands, font sources, RAM size, number of lines and characters on the LCD supported by the printer, with the format of the number of available types and/or the description of each type. The printer sends back a list of multiple information for one @PJL INFO CONFIG command.

<FF> 

7.5.5. VARIABLES category

The application can send the @PJL INFO VARIABLES command to get a list of possible variables for printer environment settings, possible language-specific variables, the current settings for both and the possible values or range for those variables. Refer to the "Environment Variables" in Chapter 6 for more information about the variables for the environment settings.

The language-specific variables returned from the printer depend on the current environment and are indicated with LPARM: personality.

The value and options for the FONTSOURCE variable depend on the installed font sources such as cartridge, downloaded permanent soft fonts.

The range of fonts listed for FONTNUMBER variable is only for the current font source. The upper limit value of the range varies according to the number of fonts in the current font source.

Example

The application sends the following command to the printer :

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>

7.6. USTATUS Command

Sending the USTATUS command makes unsolicited printer status (sending the printer status information to the host computer automatically without being requested for it) valid or invalid. If the unsolicited status is set to ON with the USTATUS command, the printer sends unsolicited status information to the host computer at the time interval set by USTATUS TIMED command from when the status changes. On the other hand, the DINQUIRE, INQUIRE and INFO commands make the printer send a response only once, just after they are received.

The printer status to be sent to the host computer are ;

• Device status changes - printer cover open, paper jams, paper out, etc
• Job status changes - completion of the printing of a job, receiving a JOB command
• Page status changes - ejecting a printed page

All the unsolicited status information (USTATUS DEVICE, JOB, PAGE and TIMED) is turned off at once by the USTATUSOFF command. Each status can be turned off individually by the corresponding USTATUS command.

The USTATUS TIMED command specifies after which time period the printer sends the unsolicited status information and is turned off by setting the time increment to zero with this command.

To get information about the current settings or possible settings for unsolicited status, use the INFO USTATUS command.

Syntax

@PJL USTATUS variable = value [<CR>] <LF> 

Response Syntax

@PJL USTATUS variable <CR><LF>
returned option [printable characters or <WS>] <CR><LF>
...
...
...
...

Parameters

VariableValueDescription
DEVICE ON Makes unsolicited device status valid for any status change (printer errors)
VERBOSE Makes unsolicited device status valid for any PJL parser warning, error and status changes
OFF Makes unsolicited device status invalid for any status change
JOB ON Makes unsolicited job status (reporting job start/job end) valid
OFF Makes unsolicited job status invalid
PAGE ON Makes unsolicited page status (reporting respective page printed and OFF Makes unsolicited page status invalid
TIMED 5 to 300 Makes timed unsolicited status (allowing the printer to send back unsolicited status after an interval specified in seconds) valid
0 Turn TIMED USTATUS off (Makes timed unsolicited status invalid)

7.6.1. Device variable

The @PJL USTATUS DEVICE command allows the printer to send status messages when the printer status changes. The printer will send the status by the status code shown in the table below.

Status code Status

10000 - 10999 Status information such as printer on-line or off-line.

11000 - 11999 Status of available paper in paper input sources, such as paper empty and auto-switching to another paper source.

20000 - 20999 PJL parser errors. The entire command line of a PJL command is ignored when an error (except for code 20004) occurs.

25000 - 25999 PJL parser errors. Part of a PJL command is ignored when the error occurs.

27000 - 27999 PJL semantic errors, which means that they are grammatically acceptable but cannot be executed. For example, attempting to lock the only unlocked paper tray causes this error.

30000 - 30999 Errors which do not stop the printing procedure if the CONTINUE is set to AUTO (auto continue mode). If the CONTINUE mode is set to STOP, the printer stops printing and goes to off-line status and only resumes when the CONTINUE or SEL key are pressed.

Status code Status

35000 - 25999 Errors which may cause incorrect printing results, such as loss of some print data on a page. The operator's intervention may be required.

40000 - 40999 Errors such as paper empty, cover open or paper jams which suspend printing until the operator takes the corresponding corrective action.

41000 - 41999 Errors in the paper source such as running out of paper in the current paper tray and none available from any other paper sources.

Example

Example 1 :

The application sends the following command to the printer :

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = VERBOSE <CR><LF>

@PJL USTATUS DEVICE<CR><LF>
CODE=20002<CR><LF>
<FF> 

7.6.2. JOB variables

The @PJL USTATUS JOB = ON command allows the printer to send the job processing status. This is sent to the application whenever a JOB and EOJ command is issued so that the application knows when a job starts and ends.

Example

The application sends the following commands to the printer.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS JOB = ON <CR> <LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "JOB 88554" <CR> <LF>
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR> <LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR> <LF>
<ESC>E . . . PCL Job . . . <ESC>E <ESC>%-12345X
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ NAME = "JOB 88554" <CR> <LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

The printer may send back the answer for the above command.

@PJL USTATUS JOB<CR><LF>
START<CR><LF>
NAME="JOB 88554"<CR><LF>
<FF>
[ . . time period while job is printing . . . ]
@PJL USTATUS JOB<CR><LF>
END<CR><LF>
NAME = "JOB 88554"<CR><LF>
PAGES=5<CR><LF>
<FF> 

7.6.3. PAGE variable

The @PJL USTATUS PAGE = ON command allows the printer to send the information about the print completion of a particular page. Using this command, you can monitor the job process on a page-by-page basis.

Example

The application sends the following commands to the printer.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS PAGE = ON <CR> <LF>
@PJL JOB <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E . . . Four-page PCL Job . . . <ESC>E
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ <CR><LF>

@PJL USTATUS PAGE<CR><LF>
3<CR><LF>
<FF>
@PJL USTATUS PAGE<CR><LF>
4<CR><LF>
<FF> 

7.6.4. TIMED variable

The @PJL USTATUS TIMED = XXX command enables the printer to send printer status information to the application at the specified time period.

This time interval can be set to 0 and from 5 to 300 seconds. If set to 0, this function is turned off. If set to any value between 5 and 300, the printer automatically sends to the application "CODE = XXXXX" (a status code number), "DISPLAY =XXXXXXXXXX" (the message currently displayed on the printer's control panel), and "ON LINE = XXXXXXXX" (printer's on-line/off-line status) at the specified time interval.

Example

The application sends the following commands to the printer.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30 <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

The printer may send back the answer for the above command.

@PJL USTATUS TIMED<CR><LF>
CODE=10001<CR><LF>
DISPLAY="00 READY 001P LT"<CR><LF>
ONLINE=TRUE<CR><LF>
<FF> 

7.7. USTATUSOFF Command

The @PJL USTATUSOFF command makes all unsolicited status reporting inactive.

Syntax

@PJL USTATUSOFF [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

There are no parameters for this command.

Example

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUSOFF <CR><LF>
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = ON <CR><LF>
<ESC>%-12345X 

7.8. JOB Recovery

You can recover a failed job with the combination of JOB and EOJ commands and the USTATUS PAGE command. JOB/EOJ commands inform the printer of the beginning and ending of each job and the USTATUS PAGE command informs the application of completion of printing of each page of a job.

When the spooler finds a job failure, it can recover the failed job. It can send the JOB command with the START option. The START page should be set to the last printed page, which can be found by the USTATUS PAGE command.

8. DEVICE ATTENDANCE COMMANDS

8.1. Introduction

You can change display messages on the printer control panel by using PJL. The Operator can be alerted by this feature to what specific actions should be taken. This chapter shows you three device attendance commands.

RDYMSG

By using this command, you can change the message "00 READY" on the printer control panel into whatever message you like. This command does not change the printer's online/offline state.

OPMSG

By using this command, the printer can display a message you specify on the printer switch panel LCD and set the printer to off-line (non-ready state for printing).

STMSG

By using this command, the printer can display a message you specify on the printer control panel LCD and the printer will go off-line. After the operator puts the printer back on-line by the on-line / off-line key, the printer name is returned by the printer to the application.

8.2. RDYMSG Command

With the RDYMSG command, you can change the message "00 READY" on the printer control panel into a specified message. The printer will be kept online.

Syntax

@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "message" [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

ParameterFunctionalRangeDefault
DISPLAY = "message" ASCII 33 and ASCIIN/A
35 through 255,
<HT>

DISPLAY = "message"

You can use any combination of characters available on the printer except for the quotation marks (ASCII 34) up to 16 characters total including spaces or horizontal tab. Characters must be enclosed in double quotes.

Comments :

  • This RDYMSG command keeps the printer online. You can display whatever message you like, for example, job name, person name etc..
  • @PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "" This command returns the display to "00 READY".

Example :

The following example shows how to display the name of person who is printing the job.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "Tom's job" <CR><LF>
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "TOM'S JOB" <CR><LF> 

The following is an example of how to restore the display to the normal ready message.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL COMMENT Normal READY message <CR><LF>
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "" <CR><LF>
@PJL EOJ NAME = "End of Tom's Job" <CR><LF>

8.3. OPMSG Command

With the OPMSG command, you can display any message you like on the printer switch panel LCD. The printer will go off-line and stop printing until the operator presses the ON LINE key or resets the printer (Press SHIFT key and RESET key, then press SET key.)

Syntax

@PJL OPMSG DISPLAY = "message" [<CR>] <LF> 

Parameters

ParameterFunctionalRangeDefault
DISPLAY = "message" ASCII 33 and ASCIIN/A
35 through 255,

DISPLAY = "message"

You can use any combination of characters available on the printer except for the quotation marks (ASCII 34) up to 16 characters in total including spaces or horizontal tab. Characters must be enclosed in double quotes.

Example

The following example shows how to display "LOAD C5 ENVELOPE" on the printer switch panel.

<ESC>%-12345X@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL JOB NAME = "JOB C5 envelope" <CR><LF>
@PJL OPMSG DISPLAY = "LOAD C5 ENVELOPE" <CR><LF>
@PJL <CR><LF>
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL <CR><LF>
<ESC>E This is C5 Envelope<ESC>E 

8.4. STMSG Command

With the STMSG command, you can display any message you like on the printer switch panel LCD. The printer will go off-line and stop printing until the operator presses the ON LINE key or resets the printer (Press SHIFT key and RESET key, then press SET key.) When the printer is put back to on-line by the operator, the printer returns a status message giving the name of the key.

Syntax

@PJL STMSG DISPLAY = "message" [<CR>] <LF> 

Return Syntax

@PJL STMSG DISPLAY = "message" <CR><LF>

2. INTRODUCTION

In this mode you can control the HL-Series printers that support this emulation directly by incorporating control codes and escape sequences into your program. Alternatively, applications software (for example, your word-processing or spreadsheet software) may send the necessary commands to the printer automatically. Check the manual that came with your software for instructions on how to use your application with an Epson FX-850 printer.

3. EMULATION DETAILS

The following points should be borne in mind when using the printer in Epson FX-850 mode.

3.1. Ignored Commands

The following commands are ignored: the BEL control code (ASCII code 7) which is normally used to sound a printer's bell, the DC1 (ASCII 17) and DC3 (ASCII 19) control codes, used to enable and disable a printer, the Esc 9 and Esc 8 commands, which normally enable and disable the out-of-paper sensor, the Esc < and Esc U commands for enabling unidirectional printing and the Esc x control code for choosing between near letter quality and draft printing.

In addition, commands that try to change the printer's printing speed cannot do so, since the HL-Series printers always print as fast as they can. Hence, the Esc s command, to select or cancel half-speed printing mode, is also ignored, and the Esc Y escape sequence (Print Double-Speed, Double-Density Image), performs the same function as the Esc L (Print Double-Density Image) command.

3.2. Resolution

The resolution of our recent printers is 600 dots per inch. (HL-2060/1650/1670N/2460/7050/1850/1870N/5050/5070N/5150D/5170DN/6050/6050D/6050DN/8050N/2070N/5240/5250DN/5270DN/5280DW/5340D/5350DN/5370DW/5380DN/5440D/5450DN/5470DW/6180DW supports 1200dpi.) Some instructions use fractions of an inch by which 600 is not exactly divisible, for example Esc J performs a line feed using a line spacing of n/216". Similarly, there are graphics commands which specify resolutions of 72, 120 and 240 dots per inch. When a line spacing or graphic cannot be implemented exactly at 600 dots per inch the printer approximates as closely as possible using 600 dots per inch.

4. TERMINOLOGY

4.1. Syntax

The following conventions are used in this description of the Epson FX-850 mode software commands:

A single letter, two or three-letter control code mnemonic, or number in upright bold text is a literal character and should be sent to the printer as the character code.

A letter or word in italics is a variable and you must substitute an appropriate value when you use the command.

A statement element enclosed in angle brackets consists of a stream of data whose length is defined within the same command. The data consists of numbers represented by bytes which are sent to the printer as if they were ASCII character codes.

4.2. Conventions

Although the machine is a laser printer and does not physically have a print head, for the purposes of this emulation description, we refer to the location on the page at which the printer is currently positioned to print as the print position.

The printable area is the area of the page where the printer can place a dot.

The bits that comprise a byte of data are numbered 1 to 8. Bit 1 is the least significant bit (LSB) and bit 8 is the most significant bit (MSB).

The lower case 'L' character is shown as an 'I' in the Esc1 printer command, to distinguish it from the character 'l' (onc).

5. CONTROLLING THE PRINTER

Commands are invoked using either control codes or escape sequences. You can send them to the printer as part of a program using the same command that you would use to print a string on the printer. For example in BASIC you would use the LPRINT command.

The printer's control panel can also be used to set various operating parameters. Try to ensure that the control panel settings and computer generated settings do not conflict with one another, or you may not get the results you require.

5.1. The Control Panel

Refer to the printer User's Guide for a description of how to use the printer's control panel switches. You should be aware, however, that the following can be set using the control panel: automatic line feed (a line feed is performed with every carriage return), auto mask (two-line top and bottom margins are automatically used on every page), paper size, top, bottom, left and right margins, the number of lines of text per page, orientation (portrait or landscape), the current font and the emulation mode. Conflict between control panel settings and the settings you establish with software commands (or from applications software) is by far the most likely cause of unexpected printing results. Use this manual in conjunction with the printer User's guide to resolve these conflicts.

5.2. Control codes

Control codes are ASCII codes that instruct the printer to perform a particular operation, such as a line feed. You can send a control code to the printer by sending the same type of instruction you would use to print a character using its ASCII code number. For example, the ASCII code for a form feed is 12, so to make the printer perform a form feed use the following BASIC statement:

LPRINT CHR\$(12);

The CHR\$ operator is normally used to convert an ASCII code into its corresponding character.

5.3. Escape sequence

Escape sequences tell the printer what Epson FX-850 mode function to perform. An escape sequence consists of the Esc character followed by one or more characters which define the operation to be performed. Send an escape sequence to the printer by sending the same type of instruction you would use to print characters using their ASCII codes. Some escape sequences require parameter values or data following them, for example, commands which turn a particular feature on and off, or commands for printing graphic images. Numerical parameter data, too, is sent to the printer as if it were a character code to be printed. For example, to move the print position to the third column position on the page the required escape sequence is Esc HT 3. In BASIC this would be:

LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(9); CHR\$(3);

In some instances where a numerical parameter can only take the values 0 or 1, you have a choice between sending the number or the character code itself as the numerical parameter. Hence you can use CHR\(0) or CHR\(48) to represent 0, and use CHR\(1) or CHRS(49) to represent 1. The practice of using character code numbers CHR\(48) and CHR\$(49) is not recommended, however, as it is not conducive to clear programming and, in any case, is not universally available on commands whose parameters can only be either 0 or 1.

6. COMMANDS

6.1. Basic printer operations

The most common printer operations are described in this section. Some are invoked using control codes alone - the rest require escape sequences. For the sake of completeness, several instructions which are part of the Epson FX-850 mode instruction sets, but which an HL Series printer ignores are included.

Null

NUL (0) <00h>

NUL (ASCII code 0) is ignored.

Bell

BEL (7) <07h>

BEL (ASCII code 7) is ignored.

Space

SP (32) <20h>

The SP control code (ASCII code 32) moves the current print position one space to the right. LPRINT CHR\$(32); 'Print a space

Backspace

BS (08) <08h>

- The BS control code (ASCII code 8) moves the current print position one space to the left.

- This code is only effective when used with left justification, which is the default justification mode. LPRINT CHR\$(8); 'Backspace

Carriage return

CR (13) <0Dh>

- The CR control code (ASCII 13) moves the print position to the left margin on the current line.

- If automatic line feed is on, this code moves the current print position to the left margin on the next line. On some printers you can turn on automatic line feed using the control panel switches. LPRINT CHR\$(13); 'Carriage return

Line feed

LF (10) <0Ah>

- The LF control code (ASCII code 10) moves the current print position down one line, using the current line space setting.

• This code does not cause a carriage return to be performed.

- If the print position is such that this operation would move it below the bottom margin, the current page is ejected and the print position is moved to the top of the next page instead.

Form feed

FF (12) <0Ch>

- The FF control code (ASCII code 12) ejects the current page and moves the current print position to the top of the next page, unless the current page is blank.

- This code does not cause a carriage return to be performed, hence the print position does not change horizontally.

- If the current page is blank this control code has no effect. LPRINT CHR\$(12); 'Form feed

Set inter-character space

EscSPn (27) (32)n <1Bh><20h>n

  • This command allows you to set the space between successive characters.
  • n is the space between characters in multiples of 1/120".

  • This command allows you to select the justification mode for subsequent text.
  • Set n to 0 to select left justification.
  • Set n to 1 to centre subsequent text.
  • Set n to 2 to select right justification.
  • Set n to 3 to select full justification (text will be both left and right justified).
  • The default justification mode is left justification.
  • The horizontal tab, HT, and backspace, BS, control codes can only be used in left justification mode. LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(97); CHR\$(2); 'Right justify text

Set absolute print position

Esc\$n1n2 (27) (36)n1n2 <1Bh><24h>n1n2

  • This command allows you to print characters a specified distance in from the left margin.
    • The unit of movement is 1/60".
    • The specified distance to be moved is n_1+(n_2*256)/120" .
  • If the specified position is to the right of the right margin the command is ignored. LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(36); CHR\(120); CHR\(0); 'Print a line 2" in

Set relative print position

Esc\n1n2 (27) (92)n1n2 <1Bh><5Ch>n1n2

  • This command allows you to print characters a specified distance to the left or right of the current print position.
    • The unit of movement is 1/120".
  • If you wish to move the print position to the right, the distance the print position is to be moved is calculated as (n_i + (n_2 * 256)) / 120" .
  • If you wish to move the print position to the left, the distance the print position is to be moved is calculated as (65536 - (n_1 + (n_2 * 256))) / 120
  • If the specified position is beyond the left or right margin the command is ignored. LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(36); CHR\(180); CHR\(0); 'Print a line 1.5" to the right

  • All remaining data is printed out and the printer default settings are restored. LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(64); 'Printer reset

Reset printer / change emulation mode

EscCR (27) (13) mode <1Bh><0Dh>mode

  • This command enables you to switch emulation mode or to reset the printer.
  • Change emulation mode by setting mode to the appropriate letter or pair of letters. Set mode to 'D' to switch to Diablo mode, 'H' to switch to LaserJet mode, 'I' to switch to IBM Proprinter XL mode, 'AB' to switch to BR-Script Batch mode, 'AI' to switch BR-Script Interactive mode, 'GL' to switch to HP-GL mode.
  • If you set mode to 'E' in Epson FX-850 mode, a printer reset is performed.
  • If you set mode to 'FD', to reset the printer to its factory default settings, LaserJet mode (the factory default emulation mode) is selected and the LaserJet factory default environment is restored. For a list of the factory default settings see the sub-section "Factory default environment" in Chapter 2 "PCL" of this manual.
  • On receiving this command the printer prints any remaining data and performs a page eject (unless the current page is blank). The newly selected emulation mode's default settings come into effect, except when mode is set to 'FD'.

LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(13); CHR\$(73); 'Change to IBM Proprinter mode

User reset

EscCR!#R (27)(13)(33)#(82) <1Bh><0Dh><21h>#<52h>

  • This command enables you to set up to 32 horizontal tab stops based on the current character width.
  • The character width setting is determined by the combination of the current pitch (10 or 12 characters per inch) and the current character mode (condensed, normal or double-width). If proportional spacing is being used the character width is based on a pitch of 10 characters per inch.
  • The tab stops must be set in ascending order. If you invoke the command with the tabs in any other order all horizontal tab settings are cleared.
    • The value of n_i must be in the range 0 to 255.
  • Once you have selected the tab settings they remain fixed - their position does not change if you change the character pitch or character width settings.
  • To set up a group of equally spaced tab stops use the Esc e 0 command.
  • Esc D 0 clears all horizontal tab settings.
  • The default tab stop settings are at every eighth column, starting at the ninth column. The default column width is 1/10".
  • The default settings are adopted when the printer is first switched on or when you perform a reset with the Esc @ instruction.

  • You can set up to eight different sets of vertical tab stops and select any of these sets for use at any time. Each set of tab stops is called a channel - channels are numbered from 0 to 7.
  • Channel 0 normally holds the settings you have selected with the Esc B command, or equally spaced tab settings that you have set with the Esc e 1 command. However, you can also set the channel 0 tab settings using the Esc b command.
    • To set the tab stops held in channels 1 to 7 you must use the Esc b command.
  • This command enables you to set up to sixteen vertical tab stops for each channel based on the current line space setting.
  • n is the channel number whose tab stops are to be set.
  • m_i specifies the tab based on the current line space setting.
  • The value of m_i must be in the range 0 to 255.
  • The tab stops must be set in ascending order. If you specify a channel's tab settings in any other order, any previous settings made for that channel are cleared.
    • Vertical tab settings are not affected by subsequent changes in the line spacing setting.
  • Esc b n 0 clears the vertical tab settings set for channel n.
  • You can select a channel using the Esc / command and move the print position to its tab stops using the VT control code.

Esc&NULn 1 n 2 (n _3 ) (27)(38)(00)n1n2(n3...) <1Bh><26h><00h>n1n2(n3...)

  • This command enables you to define and download characters for printing.
  • Monospaced characters are designed on a grid eleven dots wide by nine dots high. Characters either occupy the top 8 rows of the grid (ascending characters) or rows 2 to 9 of the grid (descending characters).

Blank columns Character width
BROTHER HL-L2376DW - Define characters - 1

text_image 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Replication area 11 12 Rows 1 - 8 Rows 2 - 9
  • Proportionally spaced characters are subject to the same height constraints (that is, eight dots high and either ascending or descending). The width of proportionally spaced characters is specified by the value in n3 .
  • n_j is the character code of the first character in the sequence to be defined.
  • n_2 is the character code of the last character in the sequence to be defined.
  • It is assumed that you are defining a sequence of characters whose code numbers increment by one for each character as default. If this is not the case, you must split the characters you are defining into sets of characters with contiguous code numbers and use a separate command for each set.
  • Each character is defined as a series of bytes - each byte defining a column of dots. The columns are read from left to right in the order in which they occur in the definition. The most significant bit of each byte represents the top dot of the column, and the least significant bit represents the bottom dot. Simply set a bit to 1 to print a dot in that position on the grid, or to 0 to print white space.
  • The MSB (bit 8) of n_3 specifies whether the defined character is an ascender or a descender. Set bit 8 to 0 when defining an ascender, and to 1 for a descender. Ascending characters occupy the top 8 rows of the grid while descending characters occupy rows 2 to 9 of the grid.
  • Bits 5 to 7 of n_3 specify the number of columns left blank to the left of the defined character in proportional spacing mode. The number of columns to skip is the number held in bits 5 to 7 minus 1. Up to six columns can be skipped. Hence, if you set this number to 4 it is equivalent to setting the first three character definition data bytes to 0.
  • Bits 1 to 4 of n_3 specify the width in columns of the defined character in proportional spacing mode. The width in columns is the number held in bits 1 to 4. Characters can be up to fifteen columns wide, including skipped blank columns.
  • Downloaded characters are selected using the Esc % 1 NUL command and then printed by sending the appropriate character codes.

Select standard / downloaded characters

Esc%nNUL (27) (37)n(00) <1Bh><25h>n<00h>

  • Once you have defined and downloaded one or more customized characters using the Esc & command, you can choose between the normal characters contained in the printer ROM and the characters you have downloaded.
  • Set n to 0 to select the printer standard characters. In this mode you cannot print any of your own defined characters.
  • Set n to 1 to select your own downloaded characters for printing. Now you can print using your user-defined characters but you cannot print any of the printer standard characters unless you have previously downloaded them to RAM as well, using the Esc : Copy ROM to RAM command.

This has the effect of inserting your custom characters into the standard character set in place of the standard characters with the same character codes.

2. INTRODUCTION

Some of these HL Series printers offer a complete emulation of the IBM Proprinter. In Proprinter XL mode you can drive the printer directly by incorporating control codes and escape sequences in your program, or alternatively, applications software (for example, your word-processing software) may send the necessary commands to the printer automatically. Check the manual that came with your software package for instructions on how to use your software with an IBM Proprinter XL.

3. EMULATION DETAILS

The following points should be borne in mind when running the HL Series printers in IBM Proprinter XL mode.

3.1. Ignored Commands

A few IBM Proprinter XL commands have reduced effect, or no effect at all. In some cases this is due to the physical nature of an HL Series printer. These commands are as follows. The BEL control code (ASCII 7) which is used to sound the Proprinter's bell, is ignored. The DC3 control code (ASCII 23), used to disable the Proprinter, is also ignored. The Esc Y escape sequence, which enables double-speed, double-density graphics mode has no effect on the printing speed, as HL Series printers always operate as fast as they can. Hence the Esc Y has the same effect as the Esc L (enable double-density graphics mode) sequence.

3.2. Resolution

The resolution of the HL Series printers is 600 dots per inch. Some IBM Proprinter commands use fractions of an inch that not exactly divisible by 600, for example Esc 0 sets line spacing to 1/8" of an inch. Similarly, the Proprinter graphics commands specify resolutions of 72, 120 and 240 dots per inch. When a graphic cannot be represented exactly at 600 dots per inch the printer prints the closest possible approximation to the specified image using 600 dots per inch.

3.3. Character Set selection

Using software commands you can select IBM character set I, IBM character set II or the IBM All Character Code table. Using the printer control panel you can select a number of other character sets depending on the printer model, consult the User's Guide to see if this emulation is supported and for a description of how to do this. All available character sets are shown in the IBM Proprinter XL mode section of the appendix at the end of this manual.

3.4. Controlling the Printer

Commands are invoked using either control codes or escape sequences. You can send them to the printer as part of a program, using the same command that you would use to print a text string on the printer. For example, in BASIC you would use the LPRINT command.

3.5. Control Codes

Control codes are ASCII codes that tell the printer to perform a particular function such as a line feed. Send a control code to the printer by sending the same type of instruction you would use to print a character using its ASCII code number. For example, the ASCII code for a form feed is 12, so to get the printer to perform a form feed use the following BASIC statement:

LPRINT CHR\$(12);

The CHR\$ operator is normally used to convert an ASCII code into its corresponding character.

3.6. Escape sequences

Escape sequences tell the printer which Proprinter function to perform. An escape sequence consists of the ESC character followed by one or more characters which define the operation to be performed. Send an escape sequence to the printer by sending the same type of instruction you would use to print characters using their ASCII codes. Some escape sequences require parameter values or data following them, for example, commands which turn a particular feature on and off and commands for downloading character descriptions to the printer or for printing graphic images. Numerical parameter data, too, is sent to the printer as if it were a character code to be printed. For example, to set the left and right margin settings to be at 10 and 70 columns across the page the required escape sequence is Esc X 10 70. In BASIC this would be:

The following conventions are used in this description of the Proprinter XL software commands.

A letter, word or number in upright bold text is the literal character which and should be sent to the printer as a character code.

A letter or word in italics is a variable and you must substitute the appropriate value or values when using the command.

An ellipsis, ..., indicates that an element may be repeated any number of times.

4.2. Data Conventions

The bits that comprise a byte of data are numbered 1 to 8. Bit 1 is the least significant bit (LSB) and bit 8 is the most significant bit (MSB).

5. COMMANDS

5.1. Basic Printer Operation

The most common printer operations are described in this section. Most are invoked using control codes. For the sake of completeness the instructions which HL Series printers ignore are included.

Null

NUL (0) <0h>

NUL (ASCII 0) is ignored.

Bell

BEL (07) <07h>

BEL (ASCII 7) is ignored.

Escape

ESC (27) <1Bh>

The ESC control code (ASCII 27) marks the start of an escape sequence.

LPRINT CHR\$(27);

Space

SP (32) <20h>

The SP control code (ASCII 32) moves the current print position one space to the right. LPRINT CHR\$(32);

Backspace

BS (08) <08h>

The BS control code (ASCII 8) moves the current print position one space to the left. LPRINT CHR\$(8);

Line feed

LF (10) <0Ah>

The LF control code (ASCII 10) moves the current print position down one line.

LPRINT CHR\$(10);

Form feed

FF (12) <0Ch>

- The FF control code (ASCII 12) ejects the current page (unless it is blank) and moves the current print position to the top of the next page.

- If the current page is blank this control code has no effect. LPRINT CHR\$(12);

Carriage return

CR (13) <0Dh>

- The CR control code (ASCII 13) moves the current print position to the left margin on the current line.

- If automatic line feed is ON, this code moves the current print position to the left margin on the next line.

LPRINT CHR\$(13);

Automatic line feed

Esc5n

(27) (53)n

<1Bh><35h>n

  • When automatic line feed is ON, a line feed is automatically performed every time a carriage return is sent to the printer.
  • To turn the automatic line feed function ON, set n to 1.
  • To turn the automatic line feed function OFF, set n to 0.
    LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(53); CHR\$(1); 'Turn auto line feed on

Enable printer

DC1 (17) (11h>

The DC1 control code (ASCII 17) enables the printer to accept data for printing again after a disable printer instruction.

LPRINT CHR\$(17);

Disable printer

EscQ22 (27) (81) (50) (50) <1Bh><51h><32h><32h>

or

EscQ3 (27) (81) (51) <1Bh><51h><32h>

  • These two commands stop the printer from accepting any data for printing or any control codes until it has received a DC1 code (enable printer).
  • The DC3 code (ASCII 19) is not recognised by the printer.
    LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(81); CHR\$(22); 'Disable printer

Change emulation mode

EscCR (27) (13) mode <1Bh><0Dh>mode

  • This command changes the printer emulation mode or performs a reset.
  • mode can be 'E' (Epson), 'H' (LaserJet), 'I' (IBM Proprinter XL), 'AB' (BR-Script Batch), 'AI' (BR-Script Interactive), 'GL' (HP-GL) or 'FD' (factory default).
  • On receiving this command the printer prints any remaining data and performs a page eject (unless the current page is blank). The new emulation mode default settings come into effect, except when the mode is set to 'FD'.
  • If you set the mode to 'FD' to reset the printer to its factory default settings, LaserJet mode (the factory default emulation mode) is selected and the LaserJet factory default environment is restored. For a list of the factory default settings see the sub-section "Factory default environment" in Chapter 2 "PCL" of this manual.
  • Selecting IBM Proprinter XL emulation with mode = 'T' causes the printer to be reset.
    LPRINT CHR\(27); CHR\(13); CHR\$(69); 'Change to Epson emulation

User Reset

EscCR!#R (27)(13)(33)#(82) <1Bh><0Dh><21h>#<52h>

  • = 0, restores to the current user setting.

  • = 1, restores to User settings 1.

  • = 2, restores to User settings 2.

1. INTRODUCTION

Some of the HL series printers can print bar codes in the HP LaserJet, EPSON FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL emulation modes, refer to the printer User guide for information.

2. PRINT BAR CODES OR EXPANDED CHARACTERS

ESC i n ... n \ (27) (105)n ... n (92) <1Bh><69h>n ... n <5Ch>

Creates bar codes or expanded characters according to the parameters "n ... n". For further information about the parameters, see the following "Definition of Parameters." This command must end with the "\" code (5CH).

3. DEFINITION OF PARAMETERS

This bar code command can have the following parameters in the parameter segment (n ... n). Parameters are effective only within the single command sequence using the syntax ESC i n ... n . They do not take effect in any subsequent bar code commands. If any parameters are not specified, they take the default settings. The last parameter must be the bar code data start identifier ("b" or "B") or the expanded character data start identifier ("l" or "L"). Other parameters can be specified in any sequence. The prefix of each parameter can be either a lower-case or upper-case character, - for example, "t0" or "T0", "s3" or "S3", etc.

Human readable characters are always printed with OCR-B font at 10 cpi pitch and all the current character style enhancements are masked. Note that the default setting is subject to the bar code mode selected by "t" or "T".

3.5. Quiet Zone

$$ \mathrm{n} = \text {"onnn"} \text { or } \text {"Onnn"} (\mathrm{nnn} = 0 \sim 3 2 7 6 7) $$

Quiet Zone is the space on both side of the bar codes. Its width can be specified using the units which are set by the "u" or "U" parameter. (For the description of "u" or "U" parameter, see the next section.) The default setting of Quiet Zone width is 1 inch.

3.6. Bar Code, Expanded Character Unit, Line Block Drawing & Box Drawing Units

n = "u0" or "U0" Millimeters (default) n = "u1" or "U1" 1/10" n = "u2" or "U2" 1/100" n = "u3" or "U3" 1/12" n = "u4" or "U4" 1/120" n = "u5" or "U5" 1/10 Millimeter n = "u6" or "U6" 1/300" n = "u7" or "U7" 1/720"

3.12. Bar Code Data Start

$$ n = \text { "b" } \text { or } \text { "B" } $$

  • Data that follows "b" or "B" is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the "¥" code (5CH), which also terminates this command. The acceptable bar code data is subject to the bar code mode selected by "t" or "T" as listed below.
  • When the CODE 39 is selected with the parameter "t0" or "T0":

Forty three characters "0" to "9", "A" to "Z", "-", ", ", "(space)", "S", "/ ", "+", and "%" can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk "* " (start character and stop character). If the received data has an asterisk "* " at its beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character. When you put "?" on the end of the data, a check digit is automatically added.

- When the Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter "t1" or "T1":

Ten numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar code data has odd characters, the zero character "0" is automatically added to the end of the bar code data. When you put "?" on the end of the data, a check digit is automatically added.

- When the FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter "t3" or "T3":

Characters "A" to "D" are valid and 1 digit of data can be printed. Uppercase and lowercase alphabet characters can be accepted.

- When the Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter "t4" or "T4":

Characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data and it must be terminated by a check digit. "?" can be used in place of a check digit.

- When the EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter "t5" or "T5":

Ten numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows.

EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)

EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)

UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)

Any number of characters other than as above causes a data error and the bar code data is printed as normal print data. If the check digit is incorrect, the printer calculates it and replaces it with the correct check digit so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding "+" and a 2-or 5-digit number after the data will create the add-on code.

When UPC-E is selected with the parameter "t6" or "T6":

The numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data.

8 digits Standard format. The first character must be "0" and the data must be terminated by a check digit.

Total 8 digits = "0" + 6 digits + 1 check digit

6 digits The first character "0" and the last check digit are removed from the 8 digit data.

*1: For 8 digits, "?" can be used in place of a check digit.

*2: Adding "+" and 2- or 5-digit number after the data creates an add-on code for all 6 and 8 digit formats.

- When Codabar is selected with the parameter "t9" or "T9":

Characters "0" to "9", "-", ". ", "\$", "/", "+", ": " can be printed. Characters "A" to "D" can be printed as a start-stop code, which can be uppercase or lowercase. If there is no start-stop code, an error will occur.

The check digit cannot be added and "?" causes an error.

- When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter "t12" or "12," "t13" or "T13," or "t14" or "T14" respectively:

Code sets A, B and C are individually selectable. Set A encodes characters in the range Hex 00 to 5F. Set B encodes characters in the range Hex 20 to 7F. Set C encodes numeric pairs in the range 00 to 99.

- Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C.

- FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4.

- The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for 1 character only) between set A and set B and vice versa.

- To print the "%" character, it must be sent twice.

When you put "?" on the end of the data, a check digit is automatically added.

- When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter "t130" or "T130":

The rules are the same as for "t5" or "T5"

- When the ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter "t131" or "T131":

The rules are the same as for "t6" or "T6"

- When EAN 128 set A, set B or set C is selected with the parameter "t132" or "T132," "t133" or "T133" or "t134" or "T134" respectively: Same rules apply as for "t12" or "T12," "t13" or "T13", or "t14" or "T14."

2. INTRODUCTION

The HP-GL graphics mode emulates 40 out of 56 instructions for the HP 7475A plotter made by Hewlett-Packard.

Default measurement unit in the HP-GL graphics mode is 1/1016"(0.025mm).

2.1. HP-GL Syntax

A command consists of a two-letter instruction mnemonic, a parameter field (not needed for some instructions) and a terminator. Parameters following the instruction mnemonic must be separated from each other by at least a single space or comma.

BROTHER HL-L2376DW - HP-GL Syntax - 1

text_image Instruction Mnemonic Parameter Field P A 10 20 Terminator ; At least one space or comma (,) must be used

Numeric values used in the parameter field are in one of the following four formats.

(1) Integer - integers between -2^30 and 2^30-1 . Real numbers specified for a parameter that should be an integer are rounded to the nearest integer.
(2) Clamped integers - integers between -32768 and 32767. Values outside this range are converted to the nearest integer within the range. Real numbers are rounded to the nearest integer.
(3) Real - real numbers between -2^30 and 2^30 - 1 .
(4) Clamped Real - real numbers between -32768 and 32767. Values outside this range are converted to the nearest real number within the range.

2.2. Font Selection

Eighteen character sets compatible with the HP 7454A are available.

IP - Input scaling point

IP [ P1x, P1y [,P2x, P2y]] [;]

P1x ; x coordinate of P1

P1y ; y coordinate of P1

P2x ; x coordinate of P2

P2Y ; Y coordinate of P2

• The coordinate values used are absolute values in graphics units.
- Sets the location of the scaling points(P1, P2).
• Coordinate values for P1X, P1Y, P2X and P2Y are given as integer numbers.

The IP instruction is ignored when the set coordinates are outside the print area.

• Using this instruction without a parameter field initializes the scaling points(P1, P2).
- P2X and P2Y may be omitted. (If P2X and P2Y are omitted, P2 is set automatically so as not to alter the distance between P1 and P2).

SC - Scale

SC Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax

Xmin ; X coordinate of P1

Xmax ; X coordinate of P2

Ymin ; Y coordinate of P1

Ymax ; Y coordinate of P2

  • Sets the scale for the coordinates the user wants to establish.
    • Coordinate values for Xmin, Xmax, Ymin and Ymax are given as real numbers.
    • Using this instruction without a parameter field turns the scaling off.
  • The technical terms user unit and graphics unit as used in this manual are defined as follows;

User unit

: the unit of the coordinates set by the SC instruction

Graphics unit

: the unit (1/1016 of an inch) of the coordinates not set by the SC instruction

IW - Input window

IW [ X₁, Y₁, X₂, Y₂ ] [;]

X1-Window lower left X coordinate Y1-Window lower left Y coordinate

X2-Window upper right X coordinate Y2-Window upper right Y coordinate

  • This instruction sets the window inside which plotting can be performed.
    • Graphic units are always used.
    • Coordinate values for X1, Y1, X2 and Y2 are integer numbers from 0 to 32,767.
  • The order of the pairs (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) may be reversed with no change in the window created: "IW X1, Y1, X2, Y2" is identical in effect to "IW X2, Y2, X1, Y1".
    • Using this instruction without a parameter field releases any previous limitations on the plot area.

RO - Rotate coordinate system

RO [q] [;]

q : Angle in degrees through which the coordinate system is rotated.

  • This instruction rotates the coordinate system.
    • A value of 0 or 90 must be used for q.
    • Using this instruction without a parameter field sets the rotation of the coordinate system to 0 degrees.

PG - Page feed

PG [;]

  • Executes a page feed
    • After page feeding, the cursor position return to the home position (0, 0).

PU - Pen up

PU [X,Y[,...]] [;]

X ; X coordinate of the cursor movement destination

Y ; Y coordinate of the cursor movement destination

  • X and Y are either relative or absolute, depending on whether a PA or a PR was the last plot command executed. The absolute coordinates are set as default.
  • Moves the cursor to the specified coordinates after raising the pen.
  • Using this instruction without a parameter field raises the pen without changing the cursor position.
  • When scaling is on, user coordinates are used.
  • Also, when scaling has been performed, the values for X and Y are real numbers.
  • When scaling is off graphics units are used.
  • When there is no scaling, the coordinates values for X and Y are integer numbers.

1. OUTLINE

1.1. Outline of the function

This function allows you to print two or more copies of the one page data on the printer side. The function also allows you to select the paper tray and register an additional macro for each copy. Therefore it is possible to change the printing format for each copy by selecting the paper tray to change the paper type or registering different macros.

The main purpose of this function is to support the carbon copy printing on the laser printer, which has been provided on the dot printer.

This function is supported on the HL-6050/6050D/6050DN/5270DN/5280DW/5380DN/L5000D/L5580D/L5100DN/L5200DW/L6200DW/L6300DW/L6400DW printers.

Only the PCL emulation can be used since the macro is supported only on the PCL emulation. For the request to use the EPSON / IBM emulation, however, the filter function which converts the EPSON / IBM emulation data to the PCL emulation one is provided.

3.1.2. About tray selection

When the carbon copy function is enabled, the normal tray selection function is ignored, and the carbon copy function takes priority (excluding the PRIORITY command).

Ignored tray commandSOURCE, MP FIRST, MP SIZE, MANUAL FEED,TRAY1 SIZE, TRAY2 SIZE, TRAY3 SIZE, TRAY4 SIZE, TRAY5 SIZE, DUPLEX
Valid tray commandPRIORITY

3.1.3. About the duplex setting

When the carbon copy function is enabled, the duplex printing function cannot be used. (The duplex setting is ignored both on the control panel and with the PJL command.)

3.1.4. About the USER DEFINED SIZE paper

Since the user defined size paper is often used with the carbon copy function, it can be fed from the Tray 1 and Tray 2. However, the paper which cannot be fed from the selected tray is not supported. (Ex. A6 size or others with the Tray 2)

3.1.5. About the reprint function

When the carbon copy function is enabled, the reprint function cannot be used.

3.1.6. About the spool data

The carbon copy function cannot be used even if the function is turned on for the spool data.

3.2. Limited items

3.2.1. About the page break of the print data

When the print data is two or more pages, it is required to insert the FORM FEED command () or RESET command (E) into the page break.

For the print data which breaks a page only with the form feed code, the problem that the macro cannot be added correctly, or that the data is not printed in the correct order will occur since the page break is not known.

3.2.2. About the command of the print data

If the command is sent when the carbon copy function is enabled, the printer stops the carbon copy process and disables the carbon copy function when it recognizes the command.

While the filter program is being operated, the printer does not stop the process and disable the carbon copy function.

2. COMMAND TO ENTER HBP MODE

Command

% -12345X@PJL

@PJLENTERLANGUAGE=HBP

Function

The printer enters the HBP mode when this command is received.

Explanation

The printer can receive this command when it is in the idle condition (during HP emulation, IBM emulation, Epson emulation and Auto emulation for HL-1040). The printer reports an error if it receives this command when it is already in HBP mode. The printer enters HBP mode when it receives this command. This mode continues until one of following occurs.

(1) The printer receives the Exit command.
(2) The printer power is turned off.
(3) InputPrime Signal is brought LOW.

The printer executes the following HBP commands in HBP mode.

3. HBP COMMANDS

An HBP command is composed of '@' + an Uppercase Alphabetic character + parameters (not necessary for some commands).

3.2 Commands (Detailed Explanation)

3.2.1 Resolution setting commands

Command

@L + *

Function

This command sets the printer resolution.

CommandResolution
@ L+ (00000000)B600dpi(Default)
@ L+ (00000101)B300dpi
@ L+ (00001010)B150dpi

Explanation

The resolution is set when the printer receives this command.

This command is applied from the next page printed after the FormFeed command after this command is sent (i.e. the next complete page).

The resolution is valid until the one of the following occurs.

(1) The printer receives the Exit command.

(2) The printer power is turned off.

(3) InputPrime Signal is brought LOW.

After (1) is sent, the printer resolution is uncertain. The driver must resend this command again after the HBP mode switch command is sent.

After (2) or (3), the resolution returns to default (600 dpi).

3.2.2 Economy mode setting commands

Command

@E + *

Function

Command Economy Mode

@ E+ (00000000)B OFF (Default)

@ E+ (00000001)B Level 1 (Darkest)

@ E+ (00000010)B Level 2

@ E+ (00000011)B Level 3 (Lightest)

Explanation

This command is applied from the next page printed after the FormFeed command after this command is input. Default value is Economy Mode OFF.

The ECONOMY MODE is valid until the one of the following occurs.

(1) The printer receives the Exit command.

(2) The printer power is turned off.

(3) InputPrime Signal is brought LOW.

After (1) is sent, the ECONOMY MODE value is uncertain. The driver must resend this command again after the HBP mode switch command is sent.

After (2) or (3), the ECONOMY MODE value returns to default. (OFF)

3.2.3 Sleep mode setting commands

Command

@T+ *

Function

This command sets the sleep time in minutes.

Explanation

This command is valid immediately after the printer receives the command.

The command is valid until one of the following occurs.

(1) The printer receives the Exit command.
(2) The printer receives a new sleep time setting command.
(3) The printer power is turned off.
(4) InputPrime Signal is brought LOW.

This command sets the time from the last printer operation (printing, key pressing, motor being driven) to entering sleep mode.

1 byte of binary data (0-255) after the @T command indicates the minute(s) delay to enter sleep mode. However, there are two exceptions. If the value is set to 0, the sleep time is set to 5 seconds. If the value is set to 255, the printer does not go into sleep mode.

For the HL-1040, the command is valid during HBP mode only, it is not effective after using the @X Exit command.

Note1:

Sleep time means the time from the last operation (Key Pressing, Data receiving, Printing) to entering sleep mode.

Note2:

HL-1040 also accepts the PJL command which sets the sleep time. The sleep time set by the PJL command is valid both in HBP mode and in Non-HBP modes. (PCL, EPSON or IBM emulation)

3.2.4 Mode setting commands

Command

@M+*

Function

This command allows various error mode operations to be set. 1 byte, used as 8 bits, that follows the @M command select the settings for each mode.

Bit0:0 = The printer clears the input buffer when a Paper Jam error or Undefined Code error occurs. The printer does not recover automatically from a Print Overrun error.

1 = The printer does not clear the input buffer when a Paper Jam error or Undefined Code error occurs. The printer recovers automatically 10 seconds later from a Print Overrun error.

Bit1: Not used

Bit2:0 = The printer generates an error when an undefined code is received.

1 = The printer ignores any undefined codes.

Bit3: Not used

Bit4:0 = The printer does not ignore any illegal data which is received before entering the HBP mode. (The printer will ignore any illegal data until approx. 32kbyte is received, then the data after that is recognized as undefined code.)

Bit5: Not used

Bit6: Not used

Bit7: Select printer error messages ON or OFF. (HL-820/1020/1040)

0: The printer does not print an error message when an error occurs.

1: The printer prints an error message when an error occurs. The printer resets when an error occurs when Bit7:1. Therefore the setting of Bit0:1 is ignored.

This command works immediately after it is sent to the printer. The command actions apply to the data before printing.

The most appropriate value is as follows;

@M<81H>

Command

@J+*

Function

This command allows the setting of engine related commands. Each setting depends on the value of the 3 byte command string.

@J+CHR\(0) +CHR\(n): Sets Media Type

This command allows the printer to change the temperature control for the fuser unit when printing.

n=0: Regular (Default)
n=1: Thick paper
n=2: Thicker paper
n=3: Transparency 

@J+CHR\(1)+CHR\(n): Sets the toner stirring time

The value of n (0-255) sets the toner stirring time in seconds. The value 0 gives the default setting of 30 seconds stored in the printer, and 1-6 is fixed at 6 seconds. Toner is stirred by the @K+CHR\$(0) command. It is not necessary to set it from the driver.

@J+CHR\(2)+CHR\(n): Indicates Envelope mode

n=0 Normal mode
n=1 Envelope mod 

The driver sets the value to 1 if the paper length is from 180 mm to 250 mm, and the value to 0 when it is shorter or longer.

@J+CHR\(3) +CHR\(n): Sets the envelope mode level

The value n sets the time limit in continuous envelope printing. The default (0) is 20 seconds, which represents a printing speed of 3 ppm.

When set to 0, the time limit in continuous envelope printing is set to 20 seconds.

The printing speed is fastest if the setting is shorter than normal loading speed, such as 1 second or 2 seconds. It is not necessary to set it from the driver.

Command

@K+*

Function

This is an immediately executed command.

@K+CHR\$(0): Execute toner stirring

To set the toner stirring time, use the command, @J+CHR\(1)+CHR\(n).

It is not necessary to set this command from the driver.

3.2.7 Graphic data input commands

Command

@G+ [data length(3bytes)] + data

Function

The 3 bytes of data following the @G command shows the length of the data, N. The N bytes following this 3 byte header is handled as graphic data.

(Example)

fprintf(fp,"%@G%c%c%c",
    (char)((data_length>>16)&0xff),
    (char)((data_length>>8)&0xff),
(char)((data_length>>0)&0xff));
fwrite(data,(size_t)1,(size_t)data_length,fp); 

See section 2.3 for further details of the data format.

The printer driver can send the printer 1 page of print data divided into sections by sending these commands continuously. It is recommended to send 1 page of print data without dividing into sections when the 1 page print data is more than the printer memory (500 Kbytes) as the printer will print this ' on the fly' and sending it in one block will improve the print performance.

3.2.8 Formfeed commands

Command

@F

Remark: The last raster scan on each page should be a white raster. For instance, the white raster command '@G<00H><00H><01H>' should be sent before the @F command.

Function

This command sets a page break.

The printer works as follows when it receives this command;

(1) If 1 page of print data is less than the input buffer size in the printer, the printer recognizes the command as a page break and starts printing.
(2) If 1 page of print data is more than the input buffer size in the printer, then since the printer has already started printing, this command is handled as a page break only.

When it is received after printing, a Print Overrun error occurs in the printer. If Bit0 is set to 1 in the mode setting command (@M+*) mentioned in section 2.2.5., the printer ignores the data until it receives this form feed command when a Print Overrun error occurs.

3.2.9 Exit commands

Command

@X

Function

This command exits from HBP mode

The HL-1040 printer is restored to the default emulation mode by this command

3.3 Graphic Data Format

The data format, which follows the @G+ [number of data bytes (3 bytes)] command, is as shown below.

the number of command bytes for raster 1command byte 1modified data 1command byte 2modified data 2
the number of command bytes for raster 2command byte 1modified data 1modified data 2modified data 3

:

:

The number of command bytes for raster ncommand byte 1modified data 1

The description of each byte

(1) the number of command bytes for raster n

This byte describes the number of command bytes for each raster.

In the case that the raster data is the same as the former raster, 00h is sent as the number of command bytes. In the case that the data is all white, FFh is sent as the number of command bytes and the data format, which should follow the number of command bytes, is not necessary.

(2) command byte

The operation of this byte is divided into the following 2 uses.

Data replacement

0b6b5b4b3b2b1b0

b6, b5, b4, b3 the replacement position (4bits)

b2, b1, b0 the amount of replacement data (3bits): The input value is 1 less than the actual data count of the replacement data.

When both b6, b5, b4, b3 and b2, b1, b0 are overflow, the next byte shows the replacement position and the byte after the next byte shows the amount of replacement data.

Repeated data replacement

1b6b5b4b3b2b1b0

b6, b5 the replacement position (2bits)

b4, b3, b2, b1, b0 the number of loops (5bits): The input value is 2 less than the actual number of loops. (Example)

The 4th byte of data onward is replaced by the three data bytes 00h, AAh, 55h

00100010b,00h,AAh,55h

The 15th byte of data onward is replaced by the two data bytes 33h, 44h and the 20th data onward (absolute value) is replaced by the two data bytes FFh.

01111001b,33h,44h,00100001b,FFh

The 5th byte data onward is replaced by the twelve data bytes AAh.

11101010b,02h,Aah

When the replacement position and the amount of replacement data are overflow, the next data byte becomes an Expansion Offset Byte. However, if the number is FFh, 00h is added.

The number of command bytes = 300, FFh+2Dh

The number of command bytes = 510, FFh+FFh+00h

If there are more than two command bytes for 1 raster, the replacement position for the second command byte onwards is indicated by the offset byte, starting from the data position replaced by the first command byte.

The command strings below shows the recommended command stream for two pages of a print job.
