Manual background

There are two emulations provided — Hewlett Packard’s Printer Control Language (PCL), incorporating the GL/2 graphics language, and TrueImage, Microsoft’s PostScript-compatible page description language. (The TrueImage emulation is only available for use with the LS-5TT or the LS-5EX with its optional TrueImage Board installed.)

In each emulation there area selection of built-in fonts—22 PCL fonts and 35 TrueType (the name for TrueImage’s font format). This offers consider- able typographic flexibility without the need to purchase additional fonts. Additional fonts may be installed on cartridge (HP emulation mode only) or downloaded from the host computer.
