The Star LaserPrinter 4111provides the ability to print vector graphics using the GL/2 graphics language.
Printing with GL/2 requires leaving the PCL mode and entering the GL/2 mode. Switching between modes involves only a few commands and software applications may easily switch between the two modes as needed
— without affecting performance.

The GL/2 commands have four components: a mnemonic, parameter(s), separator(s), and a terminator.
●Mnemonic — The
●Parameter(s) — Some commands have no parameters; for those com- mands having them, parameters can be either required or optional. Optional parameters are enclosed in brackets [ ].
●Separator(s) — When you use parameters, you must separate them with a comma or space, or in the case of a numeric parameter, with a + or – sign. (Commas are recommended because some computers eliminate spaces, especially when sending variables.)
●Terminator — All commands require a terminator. GL/2 commands are terminated by a semicolon or the first letter of the next mnemonic. The last command prior to exiting GL/2 mode must be terminated with a semico- lon.
