The default environment setting differences between PCL, Proprinter, and Line Printer include the following:
Setting PCL Proprinter Line Printer
Top and Bottom Margins 1/2 inch Set to edge limits Set to edge limits
Default Font 1 8 8
Font Mode 13 0 15
CR on FF PCL setting Yes Yes
Character Wrap at Right Margin PCL setting Always wrap Always wrap
Note: Setting the default emulation to Proprinter or Line Printer may affect native PCL 5e print jobs.
P2: Carriage return
This controls the way the printer interprets the carriage return (CR) control code.
P2 value Description
0 Ignore 0x0d
1 Carriage return
2 Carriage return plus line feed
P3: Line feed
This controls the way the printer interprets the line feed (LF) control code.
P3 value Description
0 Ignore 0x0d
1 Line feed
2 Line feed plus carriage return
R3: Use FRPO edge limits and margins
By default, FRPO edge limit settings (L5–L8) and FRPO margin settings (A1–A8) are ignored when the base emulation
is PCL. To activate these FRPO settings for PCL, the R3 parameter must be set to 1. Note that the R3 parameter applies
only to PCL emulation. FRPO edge limit and margin limit settings are always acknowledged when the base emulation
is Proprinter or Line Printer.
U0–U1: Line spacing
This sets the number of lines printed per inch. U0 and U1 represent the integer part and the fraction part of the line
spacing value, respectively. If U0 is set to 5 and U1 is set to 63, then line spacing is 5.63 lines per inch.
U6: Country code
U6 is used to set the default symbol set. The factory default value for U6 in the PRESCRIBE emulation is set to 255. This
forces the U6 parameter to be ignored and the symbol set to be initialized according to the printer control panel setting
for symbol set. If a specific symbol set other than the default is required, then U6 should be set accordingly.
