D PrinterCommands

Overview

Most software applications do not require you to enter printer commands. See your computer and software documentation to find the method for entering printer commands, if needed.

PCL

PCL printer commands tell the printer which tasks to perform or which fonts to use. This appendix provides a quick reference for users who are already familiar with PCL command structure.

The PCL 5e printer commands are backward-compatible with previous versions of PCL.

The PCL 6 printer commands take full advantage of the printer’s features.

HP-GL/2

The printer has the ability to print vector graphics using the HP-GL/2 graphics language. Printing in the HP-GL/2 language requires that the printer leave PCL language and enter HP-GL/2 mode, which can be done by sending the proper PCL codes. Some software applications switch languages through their drivers.
