    Lexmark-Unique PCL5 Command Description Support of new bar code functionality is not available in HP BarDIMM, which requires the new Lexmark , but also all of the parameter settings required to build the bar code. The new commands, if sent to an HP printer, are flushed and nothing prints. There is

    of these commands and to ignore them in a bar code context. To avoid this conflict, use the PCL5 Lexmark enhancement switch. Setting or not setting this switch would allow a future Lexmark PCL5 emulation to decide which way to interpret the new escape sequences. The switch is a GL/2 command. HP
