Logical page

The area of the physical page on which the cursor can be positioned in LaserJet

 

mode. You can use PCL commands to specify the position of the logical page on

 

the physical page. Also known as the PCL addressable area.

LSB

i) The least significant byte of a set of data bytes.

 

ii) The least significant bit of a single byte of data.

Macro

A sequence of PCL commands that can be stored in the printer memory. To run

 

the sequence you need only use a single PCL command.

Macro execution

Executing a macro is a way of running a macro whereby any changes made to the

 

modified print environment by the macro are retained when macro execution has

 

been completed.

Macro overlay environment

Used only by a macro that has been enabled for overlay. A combination of the user

 

default environment and the modified print environment.

Medium

The line thickness of normal type.

Modified print environment

The collection of all current LaserJet printer settings. This environment is saved if

 

you call a macro or enter HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode, it is restored when the

 

macro has finished running or when you quit HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode.

Monospacing

Some bitmap fonts are printed with each character occupying the same space on a

 

line of text. This is known as monospacing.

MSB

i) The most significant byte of a set of data bytes.

 

ii) The most significant bit of a single byte of data.

Pattern

i) The hatching or cross-hatching that can be applied to an outline shape.

 

ii) The non-white areas of the source image in the LaserJet print model.

Pattern transparency

The patterned ( non-white ) areas of the source image are either transparent, in

 

which case the destination image is visible through the white parts of the pattern,

 

or opaque, in which case the destination image is not visible at all throughout the

 

patterned areas of the source image.

PCL

Printer Control Language. The language consisting of escape sequences that is

 

used to control the printer in LaserJet mode

PCL addressable area

See logical page.

PCL picture frame

See picture frame.

Pen

Although this printer is a laser printer the HP-GL/2 and HP-GL graphics languages

 

retains the notion of a pen and allows you to select between two pens, white and

 

black. You must select a pen before you can draw anything. The HP-GL and HP-

 

GL/2 language were originally developed for use with plotters and the terminology

 

remains.

Perforation skip

A feature whereby the printer automatically compensates for a page break and

 

resumes printing from the top of the text area on the next page.

Permanent font

A downloaded font that is retained when a printer reset is performed.

Permanent macro

A macro stored in the printer that will not be erased if the printer is reset.
