HP-GL/2 Imaging Mode

The HP-GL/2 Imaging Mode provides a way of using vector commands in printing documents. Although the default PCL and HP-GL/2 palettes are not the same, when transferring from PCL to HP-GL/2, active palette information does stay the same. You can switch between PCL and HP-GL/2 and use the same palette, and you can also modify palettes using either PCL or HP-GL/2.

Compared to monochrome printers, the Color LaserJet and DeskJet 1200C color printers have some commands that are modified for use with color printers. Chapter 7 describes the new or modified HP-GL/2 commands.

If you are not familiar with using HP-GL/2, see the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. It provides a detailed explanation of using HP-GL/2.
