Introduction to HP PCL

zi Parameter Character - Any character from the ASCII table within the range 96-126 deci- mal (" " " through "~"). This character specifies the parameter to which the previous value field applies. This character is used when combining escape sequences.

Zn Termination Character - Any character from the ASCII table within the range 64-96 deci- mal ("@" through "~”). This character specifies the parameter to which the previous value field applies. This character terminates the escape sequence and is always in the form of a capital letter, such as A, M, T, etc.

[Data] Binary Data is eight-bit data (for example, graphics data, downloaded fonts, etc.). The number of bytes of binary data is specified by the value field of the escape sequence. Binary data immediately follows the terminating character of the escape sequence.

Following is an example of an escape sequence with a termination character and no parame- ter character. This escape sequence performs a single function of logical page orientation in landscape mode.

4Some escape sequences shown in this manual contain spaces between characters for

!clarity. Do not include these spaces when using escape sequences.

4Also, in the escape sequence a script "l” is used to indicate a lower case "l" for clarity.

The following is an example of two escape sequences, each of which perform one function: the first sets the logical page orientation to Portrait Mode, and the second sets the page size to 8 ½ x 11 inches.

Esc & l 0 O and Esc & l 2 A

These two escape sequences can be combined into one escape sequence as follows:

The HP 700 is equipped with advanced security features, such as secure boot and firmware integrity checking, ensuring that sensitive documents remain protected against unauthorized access. Additionally, it includes features like PIN printing, which provides an extra layer of security by requiring users to enter a PIN before their documents are released for printing.

In terms of sustainability, the HP 700 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It employs HP’s EcoSmart Black Toner technology, which not only delivers exceptional print quality but also contributes to lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. The printer is also compatible with HP's Cartridge Recycling program, allowing businesses to responsibly dispose of used toner cartridges.

The print resolution of the HP 700 series is another strong selling point, offering up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. This high resolution ensures that text and images come out crisp and clear, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from professional documents to vibrant marketing materials.

In summary, the HP 700 series combines high-speed printing, versatile connectivity, robust security features, and energy efficiency, all while delivering exceptional print quality. These attributes make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their productivity and streamline their printing processes. Whether for day-to-day operations or specialized tasks, the HP 700 stands out as a reliable and efficient printing solution.
