CHAPTER 1: Set Initial Conditions Commands

The Set Initial Conditions (SIC) command sets the printer to the default values that were set at the factory or to user-defined defaults.

The following data is applicable to both IBM and Epson modes, unless otherwise noted. The SIC command cannot be used in OKI emulation mode.

There are three copies of the settings for each of the parameters specified by the SIC command:

•

•

•

Factory default settings stored in flash memory User default settings stored in NVRAM Printer's current settings stored in RAM

Factory

Factory defaults cannot be modified.

User

The SIC command has the ability to override Current settings with the

 

User defaults or Factory defaults. It can then change those values and

 

optionally store then back to NVRAM as the new User defaults.

Current

When the printer is turned on, the current RAM settings are initialized

 

from the User default settings. The basic commands implemented in

 

IBM, Epson and Oki emulations can modify the Current settings stored

 

in RAM but cannot save them back to User Defaults in NVRAM.

These devices are designed to handle high-volume printing tasks without compromising quality, providing sharp text and bold graphics with a print resolution that can reach up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

Another key characteristic is the versatility in media handling. They support various paper sizes, from envelopes to legal-size sheets, accommodating diverse printing needs. The standard input capacity is robust, featuring a 250-sheet input tray, with optional additional trays available, allowing for increased paper handling capabilities suitable for larger print jobs.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with USB and Ethernet interfaces for easy integration into existing networks. They also offer mobile printing options, aligning with contemporary work habits, allowing users to print directly from their smartphones or tablets through services like Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint. This flexibility is further enhanced with Lexmark’s innovative Mobile Print app, streamlining remote printing tasks.

Security is paramount in today’s digital landscape, and Lexmark addresses this concern with built-in security features. These include secure print, which requires a code to release jobs, and various encryption protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission. This focus on security not only safeguards information but also complies with industry standards for data protection.

The Lexmark 259x and 258x series utilizes trademarked technologies like Lexmark’s Unison toner, which optimizes quality and performance. This technology ensures consistent, high-quality print output while maximizing yield, leading to more cost-effective printing solutions.

In summary, the Lexmark 259x and 258x series stand out for their speed, quality, versatile media handling, robust connectivity, and strong security features. These printers are well-suited for organizations aiming to achieve efficiency in their printing processes while ensuring reliability and high performance.
