HP LaserJet 5 and 5M Printers HP LaserJet 5 and 5M printers are performance-enhanced follow-on products for HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers, respectively. The enhanced PCL 5 printer language in these printers include all of the PCL 5 features supported by HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers as well as the features listed in Table 2-18. Table 2-14. PCL Feature Modifications for HP Color LaserJet 5 and 5M Printers Feature Status Comments Character Text Path Direction Command Modified A new algorithm decides whether or not to counter-rotate characters when using the vertical rotated printing mode. Text Parsing Method Command Modified The default text parsing method is based on the font type and symbol set fields in the default font. Label Mode (LM) New HP-GL/2 support for 2-byte applications. Command Text Parsing When 2-byte text parsing methods were introduced in HP LaserJets (from LaserJet 4PJ on), the default text parsing method was based on the default symbol set. For example, if a user selected Roman-8 as the default symbol set (via the control panel or a PJL command), then 1-byte text parsing was the default method. If they selected WINJ-DBCS as the default symbol set, Shift-JIS text parsing was the default method. HP LaserJet printers (from LaserJet 5 and 5M on) now base the default text parsing method on the font type and symbol set fields in the default font. If the default font is a 16-bit font, the default text parsing method is set to one that matches the symbol set field. In all other cases, the default text parsing method is set to 1-byte text parsing. 2-96 Printer-Specific Differences ENWW
