Using PCL Emulation 51
4 Using PCL Emulation
This chapter explains the PCL emulation of the printer.
About PCL Emulation
Print data is data written based on certain rules (grammars). These rules
(grammars) are called "print languages".
The printer supports two types of print languages: page description language and
emulation. Page description language is a language that describes images on a
page basis. Emulation is the ability of this printer to imitate print results of other
printers.
Emulation Mode
When printing data written in a language other than the page description languages
supported by the printer, switch the printer to an emulation mode. The printer has multiple
emulation modes and PCL is one of them. In the PCL emulation mode, the printer emulates
the following printer.
Host Interfaces and Emulation
Each host interface supports different print languages. The following host interfaces support
PCL emulation:
• Parallel port
• LPD port
• NetWare port
•SMB port
• IPP port
• USB port
• Port9100 port
NOTE: To use a NetWare, SMB, or IPP port, the network expansion card (optional) must
be installed.
Switching Print Languages
The machine supports multiple emulation modes and can switch between multiple
print languages.
There are three methods of switching print languages.
