Using PCL Emulation

51

This chapter explains the PCL emulation of the printer.

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.

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.

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.

The machine supports multiple emulation modes and can switch between multiple 
print languages. 

There are three methods of switching print languages.
