Permanent Parameters
The printing system maintains a number of parameters in a non-volatile (flash) memory. 
These parameters control the initial state of  the environment at power-up, including the 
initial emulation mode, page orientation, ch aracter set, buffer allocations in memory, 
interface parameters, and other options. 
The parameters may be changed permanently  with the FRPO (Firmware RePrOgram) 
command. Some FRPO parameters affect  only the current interface (interface-depen-
dent) and some affect all interfaces at once  (non-interface-dependent). If the printing sys-
tem is shared with other users, rememb er that any changes to any non-interface-
dependent parameters may interfere with the pr int jobs of the other users. This chapter 
explains the FRPO command and gives examples of its use. 
The current settings of the FRPO parameters are listed as option values on the printing 
system’s service status page. Refer to the tables in this chapter to interpret the values. To 
print a service status page, command:
!R! STAT 1; EXIT;
Before changing any FRPO parameter, print out a service status page, so you will know 
the parameter values before the changes are made. To return FRPO parameters to their 
factory default values, send the FRPO INIT (FRPO-INITialize) command.

FRPO Parameters 
The FRPO command changes the value of one parameter in permanent memory. A 
separate command is required for each pa rameter change. The parameters, their 
meanings, and the specifiable  values are listed below. 
In these tables, the Interface-dependent parameters  affect the environment on the current 
interface only. Any changes made to the pa rameters on one interface will not change 
parameters on the other interfaces. To change a similar parameter on another interface, 
first switch to that interface then issue the FRPO command.
The  Interface-independent parameters  affect all interfaces simultaneously. If the printing 
system is shared with other users, reme mber that changes made to non-interface-
dependent parameters can affect  users on other interfaces as well.
Note
Certain parameters are available only when the printing system is installed with the rele-
vant option equipment.

dP4/P5—Automatic Emulation Switching
The FRPO P4 command establishes Automatic  Emulation Switching (AES) between KPDL and 
the alternative emulation. With  the P4 value of 1, the printing system will switch from KPDL 
emulation to non-KPDL emulation, or vice ve rsa. Switching is triggered by the command 
specified by the FRPO P7 value. 
The FRPO P5 value specifies the alternative em ulation to which the printing system switches 
from KPDL. The factory default for P5 is the HP LaserJet. 
The automatic emulation switching mode may no t operate properly if the print job contains 
PRESCRIBE commands. 
eV0-V3 — Default (power-up) font 
These parameters define the default font at pow er up. The V3 parameter accepts a scalable font 
name of up to 32 characters and defines it to be  the power-up font. The factory-set default font 
is Courier. The V0, V1, and V2 parameters specif y the height of the font. The default size is 
012.00 points (00, 12, 00, respectively). 
The V0-V3 parameters are ignored if the specif ied font is not present at power-up, and the 
printing system selects Courier  as the default font for V3.
The example below gives the PRESCRIBE sequ ence which changes the default font to 
TimesNewRoman, 14.25 points: 
!R! FRPO V3, ’TimesNewRoman’;
FRPO V0, 0;
FRPO V1, 14;
FRPO V2, 25;
EXIT; 
The power-up font can be a simulated bitmap font by giving a font number to the C5, C2 and 
C3 parameters in the same manner as for V0,  1 and 2. This will set the V3 value to null.
