Printer Features

Introduction

Hewlett-Packard printers which support the PCL 5 printer language contain slightly different feature sets, each suitable for that printer’s intended use. Each printer implements minor variations of PCL 5 as a result of those differences. With new printer releases, new features may be added with new commands and/or PCL operations which require documentation.

The purpose of this guide is to identify the differences in the implementation of the PCL 5 Printer Language for different HP LaserJet and DeskJet printers, as compared to that described in the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. This guide describes new commands and exceptions to existing commands unique to the printers, as well as internal typeface/font support and print environment settings.
