Enter HP-GL/2 Mode
This command causes the printer to interpret subsequent commands
as HP-GL/2 commands, instead of PCL printer language commands.
?%#B
As soon as the printer receives this command, it switches to HP-GL/2
mode, interpreting commands as HP-GL/2 commands until it receives
an Enter PCL Mode,
?E, or UEL command, or until the printer power
is switched off and on.
The value field (#) determines the cursor position once HP-GL/2
mode is entered.
Note HP Color LaserJet printers do not support ?%–1B, ?%2B, or
?%3B
