Two-Byte HP-GL/2
Support
One-byte applications (which support non-orthogonal
rotation, scaling, and shearing of text) have long been able
to use HP-GL/2 to print to HP LaserJet printers. Two-byte
applications have not had this capability until the
introduction of HP LaserJet 5 and 5M printers.
The capability of 2-byte applications (which support
non-orthogonal rotation, scaling, and shearing of text) to
print to HP LaserJet printers using HP-GL/2 is provided by
the Label Mode (LM) command.
