Most line matrix printers have specialized architectures which enable the printer to emulate, or behave like, another printer. These specialized architectures are restricted. The P5000LJ printer, however, introduces an open architecture concept that is not available on any other line matrix printer.

The P5000LJ printer offers the standard emulation of Hewlett-Packard's Printer Control Language, PCL Level II, to allow easy online programming capabilities and compatibility with Hewlett-Packard systems. The Printronix P5000LJ Series printers are fully compatible with HP LineJet and LP Series printers.
