XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO USING PAGE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES 1-11. 1PCL 5The DocuPrint NPS system supports the following functions forsource documents:• On monochrome systems, printing of PCL 5e masterscontaining PCL commands, HP-GL/2 commands, fonts, anddata to be printed.• On highlight color models, printing of PCL 5e monochrome orPCL 5c color masters containing PCL commands, HP-GL/2commands, fonts, and data to be printed.Jobs can be submitted using the HP LaserJet 4 or LaserJet 4Si printdrivers for monochrome printing with PCL 5e, or the HP ColorLaserJet for highlight color printing with PCL 5c.DocuPrint NPS supports most HP PCL commands, features, andfonts, including those for PCL (the printer control language) and HP-GL/2 (the vector graphics language). The implementation of PCL 5eon DocuPrint NPS emulates the HP LaserJet 4. The implementationof PCL 5c on DocuPrint NPS emulates the HP Color LaserJet. Thischapter provides specific information about the support available.Refer to your Hewlett Packard PCL 5 printer language publicationsfor more information on PCL.There is a DocuPrint NPS Change PCL Parameters command thatallows you to configure your PCL printing environment. Refer to theGuide to Configuring and Managing the System, “Utility commands”for more information.Note: In PCL commands referenced in this chapter, the sign # isreplaced by a number.Maintaining image qualityDocuPrint Models 4050, 4090, 4850, and 4890 NPS provide aresolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi), and Models 92C, 96, 4635 and180 NPS provide resolution of 600 dots per inch. If your PDL containsscalable fonts or simple vector graphics and line art generated at 600dpi, the differences in printing at 300 or 600 dpi are subtle. However,if your PDL contains bitmaps with a resolution of 600 dpi, printing at300 dpi causes a degradation in image quality. To preserve imagequality, regenerate the bitmaps at the printer resolution of 300 dpi orregenerate them as simple line art. The 600 dpi printers can acceptjobs with resources in either 300 or 600 dpi.Note: Though you can print documents containing 300 dpi bitmapson a 600 dpi printer, there can be an impact on performance as theprinter processes the image for 600 dpi printing.
