Introduction

The PRESCRIBE emulation option for Lexmark laser printers is an extended version of the firmware that includes a

PRESCRIBE language processor. It enables the printer to be an effective replacement for Kyocera printers in select large

accounts where the PRESCRIBE printer language is used.

Since Kyocera does not offer a single standard version of PRESCRIBE across all of its products, the emulation compatibility

of this version is based on testing with customer application test files and an extensive set of engineering command-

level tests.

This technical reference manual describes the capabilities of the PRESCRIBE emulation option and highlights the key

limitations, which customers must consider in their certification testing.

Supported devices

•Lexmark C792

•Lexmark C925

•Lexmark C950

•Lexmark X548

•Lexmark X792

•Lexmark X925

•Lexmark X950, X952, X954

•Lexmark 6500e

Installing the PRESCRIBE emulation option

Note: Installing the option may restore your printer to factory default settings. Before installing, print a Menu Settings

page so that any non-default settings can be restored.

For more information on installing and uninstalling the PRESCRIBE emulation option, see the installation instructions

that came with the option, or the printer User's Guide.

After installing the option, set up the PRESCRIBE FRPO (Firmware RePrOgram) defaults to match the Kyocera default

setup on the applications. Many accounts use the Kyocera factory default settings and may not require further setup.

For more information on the FRPO settings supported by the PRESCRIBE emulation option, see “FRPO: Firmware

RePrOgram” on page 12.

To verify installation, print a Print Menus page from the printer control panel. Under the Printer Information section,

there should be an entry for the PRESCRIBE emulation option (example: “P-Scribe = P41F”). The second page that prints

is a PRESCRIBE emulation STAT page with the current FRPO permanent settings.

Flash memory and hard disk support

PRESCRIBE downloaded fonts (LDFC) and PRESCRIBE macros can be stored on either the flash memory or the printer

hard disk. Programming is done using the Resource Save setting.

Note: The ICCD and WRED commands are not supported.

Introduction

Memorex printer compatibility mode

The PRESCRIBE emulation option includes a custom extension to support an alternate font number table which is

compatible with Memorex system printers. The font number mapping is as follows:

Memorex font number Standard PRESCRIBE font number

1 1

2 6

310

415

5 2

617

723

829

934

10 19

The font number is the parameter used with the FONT command. This font number mapping is invoked by the Memorex

Express start sequence, (O&, instead of !R!.

Print jobs that use the Memorex Express start sequence can often be automatically sensed as PostScript emulation. To

prevent these print jobs from being processed as PostScript emulation, they must be wrapped with a PJL ENTER

LANGUAGE sequence into PCL emulation, or the PostScript SmartSwitch must be turned off for the respective input

port. The following is an example of how to wrap the print job with PJL:

UEL1

@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCL5

ESC E2

(O&3

.......4

EXIT;5

UEL6

1Universal Exit Language: ESC%-12345X

2PCL reset command

3Memorex entry sequence

4PRESCRIBE commands

5Memorex exit sequence

Overview of limitations

Although the PRESCRIBE emulation option works in most environments, there are environments where the option is

not applicable.

Introduction

Incomplete command set

Most PRESCRIBE II commands are not supported. Some commands are partially supported. For example, the BARC (bar

code) command is supported for only a subset of the possible bar code types.

One base emulation supported

Kyocera printers support a number of base emulations. The PRESCRIBE emulation option supports PCL 5e only. PCL 5e

emulation is used for the entire print job, or the print job is formatted using PRESCRIBE commands.

Some print jobs depend on a default PRESCRIBE environment based on an emulation of IBM Proprinter. A Proprinter

default environment setup is supported by the PRESCRIBE emulation option. See the FRPO section for details (under

the P1 parameter section). Starting with the P30 release, the Line Printer setup is also supported.

Font substitution

Kyocera supports a large number of resident bitmap fonts. The PRESCRIBE emulation option supports many of these

bitmap fonts by substituting a resident outline font. Hence, some of the fonts differ slightly in style and size, but the

spacing of the substituted fonts match Kyocera.

No edge-to-edge printing

Many Kyocera printers allow printing to the physical edges of the paper, which is commonly referred to as edge-to-

edge printing. The PRESCRIBE emulation option allows printing within 2 mm of the physical paper edge. See the FRPO

section for details (under the L parameter section).

Certification test process

The PRESCRIBE emulation option must be thoroughly tested with the customer's applications to determine if it is usable

before a customer makes a significant investment in this solution.

If problems are found that do not fall under the set of limitations in this document and need to be investigated further,

then the following information must be available:

•A STAT page from one of the customer's Kyocera printers that prints the job as expected

•A soft copy of any FRPO setup files, fonts, or macros that are used in the print job

•A soft copy of the actual print job

•The model numbers of the Kyocera printers in use

•A description of the problem and a hard copy output from a Kyocera printer

Note: Customers must recertify new versions of the PRESCRIBE emulation option before purchasing it in large quantities.
