TYPE TYPE changes the type (device type) portion of the printer's AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol type field. ?&b#WTYPEdevicetype Valid characters for the printer's type is not changed. The default device type for PCL is "HP LaserJet 4" and for PostScript is "LaserWriter". - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 58
PCL Job Separation command is not supported. The HP LaserJet 4Si printer handles job separation through the control panel. If a PCL Job Separation command is received by the printer it will be ignored. Refer to the HP LaserJet 4Si User's Manual (part number C2010-90901) for additional information - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 59
control panel functions must be controlled programmatically using Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language (refer to the Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual, part number 5021-0380 for detailed PJL information). The HP LaserJet 4L printer PCL command features are identical to those of the - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 60
The HP LaserJet 4ML printer also includes some new PCL features: print model logical operation (ROP3) and pixel placement, as described on the following pages. The HP LaserJet 4ML supports the typefaces that the HP LaserJet 4 printer supports. Several of the typefaces in the HP LaserJet 4ML printer - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 61
Operations With the introduction of the HP LaserJet 4ML printer the print model was expanded to include logical operations. The basic print model defines how a pattern, source image, and destination image are applied to each other using the print model's transparent and opaque modes to produce - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 62
Operands • Source objects: character cell, raster image, rule, HP-GL/2 vectors and polygons • Texture: pattern mask • Destination per pixel, the following diagram shows the print model process.

Pattern are transparent Temporary_ROP3 = ROP3 (Dest, Src, Texture). Image_A = Temporary_ROP3 & Src & Pattern. Image_B = Dest & Not Src. Image_C = Dest & Not Pattern. Return Image_A | Image_B | Image_C. ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-15 - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 64
example, the value 225 corresponds to TDSoxn, the logical function of NOT (texture XOR (source OR destination)) This command is the PCL Version of the HP-GL/2 MC command. This command sets the ROP value which affects not only PCL operation but also the - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 65

It must be remembered that the printer operates in something similar to a CMY space and inverts the bits and reverses the order. 2-18 - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 67

As shown below, each model produces a different result. (Since PCL printers print only at intersections - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 73
Pixel Placement The grid centered model produces a rectangle that is one dot row thinner and one dot row shorter than the grid intersection model. The grid intersection model is the PCL default.

no longer supported since there are supported since it does not support WYSIWYG color. • Monochrome Print Mode - This command is only supported at the beginning of a job, since user applications only support the choice of monochrome printing of color documents for an entire document. 2-116 Printer - HP 1200 | HP PCL/PJL reference - PCL 5 Comparison Guide - Page 165
