HP (Hewlett-Packard) PCL 5 Printer User Manual


 
No PCL commands except ?E, ?%#A, and the PJL com-
mand ?%-12345X are recognized by the printer.
The PCL picture presentation directives are ignored.
—The ?%#A command closes HP-GL/2, prints the current
page, and performs an ?E before entering PCL.
The default HP-GL/2 orientation is reverse landscape.
Hard-clip limits are equal to the printable area.
—The ?E command functions as usual.
When the single-context mode is used (?%–1B), the
following steps should be followed:
1. Enter HP-GL/2 mode using the ?%–1B command.
2. Transmit one or more HP-GL/2 drawings.
3. Exit HP-GL/2 mode (?%#A).
0 — This parameter option (?%0B) sets the pen position
to the previous HP-GL/2 position; if this is the first time
HP-GL/2 mode is entered in the present print job
(assuming an ?E has been sent), the pen position is at
the lower left corner of the PCL Picture Frame (0,0).
1 — This parameter option (?%1B) specifies that the pen
position and the label carriage return point become the
same as the current PCL cursor position.
2?%2B transfers the current PCL dot coordinate
system to HP-GL/2, including the PCL origin and axes,
but uses the previous HP-GL/2 pen position as the new
pen position. Once the PCL coordinate system is
established with this command, it is independent of the
P1 and P2 positions.
3 — This parameter option (?%3B) specifies that the pen
position and the label carriage return point become the
same as the current PCL cursor position. The current
PCL dot coordinate system and axes are also transferred
to HP-GL/2; once the PCL coordinate system is
established with this command, it is independent of the
P1 and P2 positions.
