PDL Reference Guide for the
WorkCentre 5222/5225/5230
Accessing Extended Features
Overview
This document enables you to access the extended features of the WorkCentre
5222/5225/5230 in environments that do not have a custom print driver.
Note: The commands and syntax used in this document requires familiarity with either
PostScript (PS) or Printer Command Language (PCL).
This document provides the Printer Description Language (PDL) commands and syntax
for each feature. The following items are also included:
•A PCL table that describes the PCL features the WorkCentre supports and the syntax
to use the feature.
•A PS table that describes the PS features the WorkCentre supports and the syntax to
use the feature.
This document is not intended to be a complete PS or PCL reference manual. It is a
guide for using the PS and PCL commands with the WorkCentre 5222/5225/5230. Refer
to these sources for additional PS and PCL information:
• PostScript Language Reference Manual, Third Edition, ISBN 0-201-38922-8,
• PCL5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/bpl13208/bpl13208.pdf), a

Using this Guide
Search the Feature Table to determine whether the feature you wish to use is supported.
Verify that the feature is supported by the platform. For example, the WorkCentre must have an optional
finisher installed to use stapling commands.
Follow across the table to find the syntax listed for the PDL examples shown. Reference the
“Dependencies/Caveats” section when working with PS and/or PCL commands.
PCL
This WorkCentre supports PCL5e and PCL XL emulations that enable the features listed in the following
table.
Feature Description
Job Name The value for Job Name is stored for printing on the banner page.
Custom Paper Size Customer designated paper size on which to print a job.

PCL/PJL Feature Dependencies/Caveats
All PJL commands must be in the first 2,500 bytes of the job.
To combine printer escape commands (not including PJL commands):
The first two characters after the <esc> MUST be the same.
All alpha characters MUST be lowercase, except the final terminating character.
The commands are read left to right. Combine commands in the order you wish them to
execute.
For example, combine print 5 copies (<ESC>&|5X) and use letter size (<ESC>&|2A) as
<ESC>&|5x2A.
In case of duplicate commands, the last one requested takes preceden ce.
The @PJL SET COPIES takes precedence over the PCL Escape Command (<ESC>& | int
X>) to set copies. In general, a PJL command takes precedence over a PCL command.
Valid media sizes for duplexing are between [88.9 x 127] and [297 x 432] (mm) or all sizes
that can be fed from tray1 - 4.
Valid media sizes for stapling include A3, A4, B4, B5, Letter (8.5 x 11”), 8.5 x 13”, Legal (8.5
x 14”), Tabloid (11 x 17”) and Executive (7.25 x 10.5”) for Type A and Type B Finisher. For
Type B Finisher, 8 x 10”, 11 x 15”, A4 Cover, 9 x 11” and 215 x 315mm are also valid.
Valid media sizes for booklet stapling include A3, A4, B4, Letter (8.5 x 11”), 8.5 x 13”, Legal
(8.5 x 14”), Tabloid (11 x 17”) for Type B Finisher.
PCL Fonts
The following PCL fonts are resident.
The commands in the table reference a 12-point font. If you wish to use any other point size,
change the 12v within the PCL Escape Command to the desired size (.25 – 999.75).
The commands listed use the default symbol set, Roman-8. To change the symbol set, you
include the alternate symbol set after the first <ESC> and before the second <ESC>. Use the line
printer examples as a reference.
