Figure 8.1, is an illustration of an Accounts Payable check and remittance information. The page used a PCL MACRO for the static data and background design. This manual does not address MACRO design and programming, but the variable text information including all the PJL and PCL commands used to print the example are on the page following the sample check.

The commands are a minimal set chosen to produce the example. Please consult Lexmark Technical publications for the complete descriptions of PJL and PCL printer commands.
