HP 5961-0509 manual 8Introduction to HP PCL

Use these three rules to combine and shorten printer commands:

1The first two characters after “?” (the parameterized and group character) must be the same in all of the commands to be combined. In the example above, these are “&” and “ l”.

2All alphabetic characters within the combined printer command are lower-case, except the final letter which is always upper-case. In the combined example above, “O” becomes “ o”. The final character in the printer command must always be upper-case to let the printer know that the command is complete.

3The printer commands are performed in the order that they are combined (from left to right). Be sure to combine commands in the order that they are to be performed.
