Enter printer commands directly into files
Some software applications allow you to enter printer commands (for
example, escape sequences) directly into files. However, this method
of controlling your printer requires that you learn printer PCL
commands. For information on PCL printer commands, see
Appendix C
or the PCL/PJL Technical Reference Package for this
printer. (See page 32
for ordering information.)
