Introduction

Ecoprint mode— extends toner yield by reducing the amount of toner used on the page.

Standard bi-directional parallel interface— supports high-speed data exchange with the computer.

Software Features

Bitmapped and scalable typefaces— In addition to its 79 internal bitmap fonts, the printer provides 45 fully-scalable resident typefaces that are equivalent to HPLJ fonts. The scalable typefaces can be used at any size desired up to 999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments.

A new printer control language, PRESCRIBE II, is provided with features including advanced graphics capabilities that allow you to print any conceivable outline shape or solid form. Also provided are a variety of special effects, such as patterned fills, gray-scale shading, a user-accessible print image model, and multiple page orientations and print directions within the same page.

PDF417 two-dimensional bar code— The printer includes the capability that allows the user to implement the two-dimensional stacked bar code symbology, PDF417, or Portable Data File 417. This expanded functionality is achieved by using the PRESCRIBE II language com- mands.

Automatic rotation of fonts and graphics— Images and scalable fonts are automatically rotated to match the page orientation.

A wide variety of internal symbol sets— The printer supports most Hewlett-Packard Laser- Jet 4 Plus compatible symbol sets for both bitmap and scalable fonts.

Display of printer messages in any of three languages— English, French, or German. As an option it is also possible to have the messages displayed in other languages. Please contact your Kyocera dealer.

Memory card slot for option fonts, macros, forms, etc.— Data in the memory card can be selectively read from the printer’s control panel.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliance— Offers network managers complete open system network management.
