HP PCL Commands

10.9Horizontal Positioning Commands

The following commands provide for cursor movement on the horizontal axis.

10.9.1Backspace

<BS>

Moves CAP one character position backwards on the current line.

For horizontal text path direction, no action occurs if CAP is already at the left margin. If the CAP is to the left of the left margin (via one of the Move CAP commands), <BS> functions as if the left margin were column 0, the logical page left boundary.

For vertical text path direction, no action occurs if CAP is already at the top margin. If CAP is above the top margin (via one of the Move CAP commands), BS functions as if the top margin were row 0, the logical page top boundary.

In proportional spacing, a single <BS> centers the overstriking character with the character being over-struck. After printing the overstrike character, CAP is at the same position as before the <BS>. Multiple backspaces each move back the distance of the last printable char- acter or space.

HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers backspace using only the last propor-

tional character width. The resulting cursor relocation is therefore not a fixed constant.

 

10.9.2Carriage Return

<CR>

Moves CAP to the left margin on the current row.

10.9.3Space

<SP>

Moves CAP forward one character position (defined by HMI) on the current line.

CAP does not move if it is already at the right margin and end-of-line wrap is not enabled. If end-of-line wrap is enabled, CAP moves to the left margin of the next row and then prints the space.

10.9.4Linefeed

With an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and high-quality printing, the HP 700 series has carved a niche for itself in the competitive printing market.

One of the standout features of the HP 700 is its impressive print speed, which can reach up to 40 pages per minute. This rapid output ensures that businesses can keep up with their demanding workloads without sacrificing quality.

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.

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.
