Common Variables for Both Printer Languages

Note: The word common applies to those variables common to both your printer and the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet printers.

The following common variables are supported for both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation, unless otherwise noted. Therefore, the [command modifier:value] parameter should not be specified.

To determine which variables your printer supports, see “Table B-1: Common

Variables for Both Printer Languages” on page B-1.
