EPSON GL/2 Mode Note:
You cannot change the GL/2 Mode items by SelecType. To change
these items, use the GL/2 command listed in Appendix C.
In EPSON GL/2 mode, you can use your printer with plotter
applications. EPSON GL/2 has two operational modes. One is
the LJ4GL2 mode; the other is the GLlike mode. The GLlike
mode emulates some of the HP-GL plott er commands and
includes all of the commands found in LJ4GL2 mode, plus two
additional commands.
The table below shows the differences between these modes.
For more information on GL/2 commands in LJ4 emulation
mode, see Appendix C.
