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.
