printing:

Text Parsing Method
2-byte characters
HP-GL/2 Label allows 2-byte characters.
Media Handling
The HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer has two standard paper trays and
one optional tray. They are accessed as follows:
Paper can be selected by requesting a media type using the Paper
Type command (
?
&n#Wd
papertype

characters in

paper is
?
&n6WdColor. To select “Prepunched” the
