Printer commands

Overview

PCL 5e

PCL 5e printer commands tell the product which tasks to perform or which fonts to use. This appendix provides a quick

reference for users familiar with PCL 5e command structure.

Note

Unless PCL 5e backward compatibility is required, HP recommends that PCL 6 drivers be used to take full advantage

of all product features. The PCL 5e driver in this product is not backward compatible with older products that use PCL

5e drivers.

HP-GL/2

The product has the ability to print vector graphics using the HP-GL/2 graphics language. Printing in the HP-GL/2 language

requires that the product leave PCL 5e language and enter HP-GL/2 mode, which can be done by sending the product PCL 5e

code. Some software applications change languages through their drivers.

PJL

HP Printer Job Language (PJL) provides control above PCL 5e and other printer languages. The four major functions

provided by PJL are: product language changing, job separation, product configuration, and status readback from the printer.

PJL commands may be used to change product default settings.
