Printer Features

Introduction

Hewlett-Packard printers which support the PCL 5 printer language contain slightly different feature sets, each suitable for that printer's intended use. Each printer implements minor variations of PCL 5 as a result of those differences. With new printer releases, new features may be added with new commands and/or PCL operations which require documentation.

The purpose of this guide is to identify the differences in the implementation of the PCL 5 Printer Language for different HP LaserJet and DeskJet printers, as compared to the features described in the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. This guide describes new commands and exceptions to existing commands unique to the printers, as well as internal typeface/font support and print environment settings.

Note For information about products newer than those included in this

book, see the PCL5 Comparison Guide Addendum, which includes product-specific information about newer products, as well as commands and variables added to support these newer products.

1-2 Printer Features ENWW

PCL Feature Support

Tables 1-1A through 1-1C, the PCL Feature Support Matrix, lists all the printer commands from the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual and identifies which of these commands are supported by the various printers. The table below describes the printers covered in each table. (More detailed PCL information for each PCL 5 printer is provided in Chapter 2.)

Note The PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual (part

number 5961-0509) was revised for the release of the HP LaserJet 4 printer and contains all PCL language features up to the HP LaserJet 4 printer. Subsequent commands are covered in this

PCL 5 Comparison Guide and the PCL 5 Color Technical Reference Manual.

ENWW Printer Features 1-3

Note In Table 1-1, if the command value field parameters are not listed,

then all parameters are supported by printers that support that command.

The value in parentheses following a command parameter identifies the parameter value (for example, the parameter “Letter (2)” indicates that the value field to select letter size in the Page Size command is “2”).

Commands which are not supported (“ns”) by a printer are ignored.

PCL 5 Technical Reference Manual Corrections

This section describes updates to the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual (5961-0509). Because this manual will

not be updated, any changes to it are documented in this guide. Some errors have been identified in the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual since its printing. Those errors are identified and corrections are provided on this page.

Chapter 4 PCL Job Control Commands

Unit of Measure Command

In Figure 4-6 on page 4-18, the two escape sequences at the top should read “( and (

?&u200B).”

Chapter 8 PCL Font Selection

Transparent Print Data Command

The last sentence in the note at the bottom of page 8-33 should read “Refer to the PCL 5 Comparison Guide, Appendix A, for character codes for the various symbol sets.” instead of “Refer to Appendix A for character codes for the various symbol sets.”

?&u100D) and (?&u200D)” instead of “(?&u100B)

Chapter 13 The PCL Print Model

User-Defined Pattern Command

In Figure 13-10 on page 13-19, byte zero should read Format (20) instead of Format (0)

On page 13-21, Format (Byte 0) should read “0” for a 300 DPI user-defined pattern header and “20” for a resolution-specified user-defined pattern header.
