CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION - 3
1. ABOUT THE MANUAL
This technical reference manual is intended to help you get the most out of each of the emulation modes
supported by your HL-Series laser printer. It is divided into nine sections - this introductory section and one
section for each of the emulation modes. Each emulation mode section describes the software commands (the
escape sequences and control codes) that you can use to make the printer perform each of its available
functions. Some example programs are included to give you useful ideas.
This manual is for our PCL models. For the differences between each model, see the Appendix "Model
Comparison."
“PCL6” includes both “PCLXL” and “PCL5e”.
As for “PCL5e”, it is described in “chapter 2 PCL” of this manual.
As for “PCLXL”, it is mainly used with Windows driver, and its command is structured by binary code.
Therefore, it is not described in this manual.
For basic set-up information, such as how to connect the printer to your computer, look in the User’s guide.
The User’s guide also describes the printers control panel and how you can set various options using the
keys.
