Printer Control Language (PCL) emulation 39 All lines of data must be the same length. If they are not, then add zeroes (0) to attain the same length. Note: If the uncompressed image extends beyond the logical page dimensions or beyond the raster width specified in the Raster Width command (ESC*r#S), then the image is clipped at print time. Additional compression modes When the compression mode is 1008 (Lexmark adaptive), TIFF word and double-word can be printed using compression scan modes 254 and 255 respectively. This compression method sends a raster image as a block of raster data. Creating macros 1 Assign an ID number for the macro. Note: If the number is identical to an existing macro ID in RAM, then the old macro is deleted when you specify the Macro Control Start Definition. 2 Start the macro definition. 3 Send the macro contents. 4 Stop the macro definition. Note: Define each macro separately. Example: This example creates a macro to print the Wigit Corp. logo, and then calls the logo macro in the body of a letter.

All lines of data must be the same length. If they are not, then add zeroes (0) to attain the same length.
Note:
If the uncompressed image extends beyond the logical page dimensions or beyond the raster width
specified in the Raster Width command (
ESC
*r#S
), then the image is clipped at print time.
Additional compression modes
When the compression mode is 1008 (Lexmark adaptive), TIFF word and double-word can be printed using
compression scan modes 254 and 255 respectively. This compression method sends a raster image as a block
of raster data.
Creating macros
1
Assign an ID number for the macro.
Note:
If the number is identical to an existing macro ID in RAM, then the old macro is deleted when you
specify the Macro Control Start Definition.
2
Start the macro definition.
3
Send the macro contents.
4
Stop the macro definition.
Note:
Define each macro separately.
Example:
This example creates a macro to print the Wigit Corp. logo, and then calls the logo macro in the body of a letter.
