HP (Hewlett-Packard) PCL 5 Printer User Manual


 
HP-GL/2 Imaging
Mode
The HP-GL/2 Imaging Mode provides a way of using vector
commands in printing documents. Although the default
PCL and HP-GL/2 palettes are not the same, when
transferring from PCL to HP-GL/2, active palette
information does stay the same. You can switch between
PCL and HP-GL/2 and use the same palette, and you can
also modify palettes using either PCL or HP-GL/2.
Compared to monochrome printers, the Color LaserJet and
DeskJet 1200C color printers have some commands that
are new and/or modified for use with color printers.
Chapter 7 describes the new or modified HP-GL/2
commands.
If you are not familiar with using HP-GL/2, see the PCL 5
Printer Language Technical Reference Manual. It provides a
detailed explanation of using HP-GL/2.
