about PCL commands, only to provide a quick reference for users who are
already familiar with PCL command structure.
Note

commands. For a complete listing and explanation of how to form PCL,
HP-GL/2, and PJL commands, order the
PCL/PJL Technical Reference
Package,
which is described in the “Supplementary Documents” section at
the beginning of this manual (to order, see the inside front cover for
