HP Emulation Command Summary

This section lists the commands supported by HP emulation mode. For more information on these commands, see the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III Printer Technical Reference Manual.

All commands closely emulate the HP LaserJet series III except for the following:

ESC &l#A can be used to select the following eight paper sizes: A4, Letter, Legal, Executive, Monarch, Commercial 10, DL, and C5.

This command overrides the SelecType PAGE SIZE setting. You cannot specify other paper sizes with this command.

ESC &l#H works differently whether it is used in INPUT AUTO or not. When you set INPUT AUTO, this command can only be used to specify manual paper feeding when the value of # is 2, 3, or 6; the printer returns to INPUT AUTO with any other values. When you set INPUT STD or OPT, the values for # produce the effects listed in the following table. This command takes effect only if the panel’s MANUAL light is off.

ESC &lP sets the page length and paper size. The paper sizes with this command are the same as those with ESC &l#A.
