Table 2-3. PCL Feature Additions for HP LaserJet 4 Feature/Command Support Adaptive Compression System New Configuration Command New Number of Copies Modified Units of Measure Command New Page Size Modified Bitmap Font Support New Header Scalable Font Support New Header TrueType Internal Typefaces New New Raster Resolution Command Modified User-defined Pattern New Header Continued on next page. Comments Adaptive compression system enables the printer to compress internal raster data when memory becomes low. This operation occurs automatically; there are no PCL commands for this feature (refer to Chapter 5 for ADC information). Allows PCL jobs to be printed (using LocalTalk or EtherTalk MIO) using AppleTalk protocol. Supports 1-32,767 copies as does the HP LaserJet IIISi printer. Allows selection of the units of measure for cursor moves, drawing rules, and for character spacing (font metrics). A parameter value is added for B5 envelope size; the HP LaserJet 4 printer supports the four standard paper sizes and five envelope sizes. Printer will expand 300 dpi bitmap fonts to 600 dpi. A new 300/600 dpi bitmap font descriptor has been added to allow bitmap fonts to be created that work at either 1/300 or 1/600 inch printer resolution. A new Universal header has been added to allow design of typefaces of different scaling technologies to be supported by one header. This header is used to support TrueType on the HP LaserJet 4 printer. (This header will be used to support any other new scaling technologies HP may add in the future). TrueType scaling technology support has been added to the printer. Several new Intellifont and TrueType internal typefaces (and supporting symbol sets) are now provided in the printer. Parameter values have been added to support raster resolutions of 200 dpi and 600 dpi. A new 300/600 dpi user-defined pattern header has been added to support patterns that work at either 1/300 or 1/600 inch printer resolution. ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-5
