HP DeskJet 1200C
Printer
The DeskJet 1200C is a 300-dpi LaserJet-compatible
thermal inkjet color printer. It uses PCL 5 and is very
compatible with the LaserJet 4 family of printers. The main
differences between the DeskJet 1200C and the LaserJet 4
printer are summarized in the table below (for a complete
listing, see Table 1-1).
The DeskJet 1200C printer does not support the following
LaserJet 4 features:
Unit of Measure (?&u#D)
Status Readback (?*s#X, ?*s#U, ?*s#M, ?*s#T, ?*s#I)
Raster resolutions of 200 dpi and 600 dpi
Page sizes: Executive, A4, JIS B5 paper, International B5
envelope, Monarch envelope
HP-GL/2 in macros
Feature Status Comments
Enter HP-GL/2 Mode
Modified Three additional parameters (-1, 2, 3) have been added to
provide support for Standalone HP-GL/2 Mode (?%-1B), for
using the current PCL coordinate system/previous HP-GL/2
pen position (?%2B), and for using the current PCL
coordinate system/current PCL CAP (?%3B).
Media Type
New Sets the print mode required for printing on various media
types.
Mechanical Print Quality
New Determines the graphics print quality.
Negative Motion
New Specifies whether negative motion will be used.
Raster Scaling
New/Modified Several commands are added for raster scaling: Destination
Raster Width (?*t#H), Destination Raster Height (?*t#V),
Scale Algorithm (?*t#K); also, two parameters are added to
the Start Raster Graphics command to initiate scaling
(?*r2A and ?*r3A). (See the PCL 5 Color Technical
Reference Manual for more information.)
