HP LaserJet IIIP Printer

Several new PCL features were added to the PCL 5 language with the release of the HP LaserJet IIIP printer. These new features are summarized in Table 2-2. One new feature listed here is adaptive compression (method 5) for the Raster Compression Mode command. In addition to compressing data for transmission, if certain rules are followed (discussed below), the HP LaserJet IIIP printer will store adaptive compressed data in compressed format and only decompress it when required for printing. There are certain requirements which must be met for this data to be stored in compressed format. These requirements are discussed following Table 2-2.
