HP 7550A Emulation [KC-GL] (Mode 8) 
The HP 7550A emulation applies only to the printing systems that handle A3-size paper. 
The printing system emulates the Hewlett-Packard plotter model HP 7550A and uses the 
Kyocera Graphics Language (KC-GL). While it shares features with the HP-GL lan-
guage, it is designed to provide additional features the plotter cannot give. 
KC-GL uses a simple mnemonic graphic langua ge consisting of two-letter instructions. 
Some typical examples are  PA for  Plot to Absolute coordinates  and SP for Select a Pen.  
The KC-GL instructions are summari zed at the end of this section. 
To set the KC-GL for power-up emulation, send the printer the following FRPO com-
mand:  !R! FRPO P1, 8; EXIT; 
The SEM (Set EMulation) 8; command tempor arily switches the printer to the KC-GL 
emulation. 
In the HP 7550A emulation the user can r eceive plotting status information from the 
printer via the RS-232C interface.  Status information is not available when the parallel 
interface is used. 
Basic 
This section explains basic information about the KC-GL language.
KC-GL Instruction Format 
The syntax for KC-GL instructions consists of two letters followed by parameters (if 
any), then a terminator as shown below. 
Some instructions use no parameters. For two or more parameters, they must be sepa-
rated by at least one comma or space. In some  cases, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign can be 
used as a separator. A comma or space can also be used as a separator before, after, or 
between instructions, and after  a terminator. When a series of instructions is coded, the 
series should be terminated by a semicolon, but no semicolon is required between 
instructions in the series. 
The printing system executes in structions as soon as it receives them. When too many 
instructions are issued, the  printing system executes the allowed number of parameters 
and reports error number 2 (wrong number of parameters). 
Not always required
Optional separator
(Commas or spaces) Required

Terminator (A semi-colon or 
line feed, not required if

The SM (Symbol Mode) instruction defines the first su cceeding character as a symbol 
character. The DT (Define label Terminator) instruction defines the first succeeding 
character as a charact er plot terminator. 
The character plot terminator is used to term inate the LB (LaBel) instruction. The default 
terminator is the ETX character  (End of Text), which uses ASCII code 3. If this termina-
tor is inconvenient, the DT instruction enable s the user to change the character plot ter-
minator to a different character. 
Parameter Formats 
KC-GL parameters are specified in  one of the following formats: 
Integer 
When not scaled, integers ar e valid in the range from –223 to 223–1 plotter units. Digits 
to the right of the decimal point are ignored. If  no sign is specified, the value is assumed 
to be positive. 
Real number (decimal) 
Real numbers from –223 to 223–1 are valid. They can include  up to eight digits to the 
right of the decimal point. If no sign is specified, the value is assumed to be positive. 
Scaled real number (scaled decimal) 
Real numbers from –223 to 223–1 can be used with up to eight digits to the right of the 
decimal point. If no sign is specified, the va lue is assumed to be positive. Scaled real 
numbers are used only with scaled user units.  All KC-GL parameters that are interpreted 
as user units are scaled. 
Character string 
A combination of character s, numeric expressions, and string variables. 
When coding an instruction with two or more parameters ( Examples: PA, PR, PU, PD) 
remember that the parameters must be set apart by a separator. 
KC-GL Environment Options 
The FRPO G0 command establishes various options for the KC-GL environment. The 
following table lists the meanings of the individual bits in the command. Each meaning 
is explained in the following sections accordin g to the bit position.

Plot Coordinates (bit 0) 
This bit defines one of two plotting coordinate modes. (See  Figure 7. 29. on page 98.) 
0 =  Mode A
1 =  Mode B 
In mode A, the origin ( 0, 0) starts at bottom left. In mode  B, the origin starts at the center 
of the page. 
Response to SP Instruction (bit 1) 
This bit defines the printing system response to the SP (Select Pen) instruction. 
0 =  Printing System feeds out a page when  it receives a SP; or SP 0; instruction. 
1 =  Printing System returns the pen to the stall from which it came, in other words, it  prints  nothing  when it receives a SP; or SP 0; instruction. 
Figure 7. 29.  Plot Coordinates 
Automatic Plot Coordi nate Mode (bit 2) 
0 =  Printing System changes the plot coordinate from mode A to mode B when it 
receives a IP (Input P1 and P2) instruction using the negative parameter value. 
When the IN 
(INitialize) instruction is later given,  the printing system reverts to mode A.
