HP Color LaserJet
Printer
As its name implies, the HP Color LaserJet printer is a
color laser printer. This 300 dpi printer adds several new
features to the PCL 5 language. These new features are
summarized in the table below and are described in detail
in the PCL 5 Color Technical Reference Manual (part
number 5961-0940). The printer also supports logical
operations, the HP-GL/2 Merge Control command, and
pixel placement (both PCL and HP-GL/2 commands). These
commands are described in the HP LaserJet 4L section of
this chapter and also in the PCL 5 Color Technical
Reference Manual.
