Two modes of Epson GL/2
Epson GL/2 mode has two operational modes. One is the
LJ3-GL/2 mode, another is the GL-like mode.
Q
LJ3-GL/2 mode
This mode emulates GL/2 mode of the HP LaserJet series
III emulation. While in this mode you can enter GL/2 mode
without sending the ESC %#B (Enter GL/2 mode)
command. If your application software cannot send the
ESC %#B command, then use this mode.
If your application software supports LaserJet series printers,
you do not need to use this mode.
P
GL-like mode
This mode emulates some of the HP-GL
®
plotter
commands. It features all of the commands of the LJ3-GL/2
mode, plus two additional commands.
The table below shows the differences of these modes.
