Xerox 4213 User Manual

LJ SERIES 2D EMULATION

Please refer to the Xerox 4213 Laser Printer User Guide for the
cartridges that can be used by the LJ 2D emulation.  Cartridges
are listed by part number.

Font cartridges must be installed while the 4213 is powered off.
Font cartridges installed while the printer is on are not
recognised, and may lock up the printer.

The LJ series 2D emulation uses a set of commands similar to the
Printer Command Language (PCL) used to control the HP
LaserJet printers (HP LaserJet, HP LaserJet+, and HP LaserJet
500+, HP Laserjet II and IID).

There are two types of commands:

•

Control codes

•

Escape sequences.

Control codes are single-byte commands which perform simple
functions such as backspace, carriage return, line feed, and form
feed.

In most cases control codes are taken from the unprintable part
of the ASCII character set which covers the decimal values from
0 to 31 (hexadecimal 00 to 1F). If a character set includes
printable characters with values below decimal 31, the
Transparent Data command (

E

 

&p#X)

 may be used to access the

characters.

Control codes usually elicit an immediate response from the
printer and do not perform any deferred or preparatory
functions. The only exception is the escape character
(hexadecimal 1B, decimal 27), which is prefixed to a command to
tell the printer that the data which follows is a command to be
executed and not text to be printed.
