Printer Features

Introduction

Hewlett-Packard printers which support the PCL 5 printer
language contain slightly different feature sets, each
suitable for that printer’s intended use. Each printer
implements minor variations of PCL 5 as a result of those
differences. With new printer releases, new features may be
added with new commands and/or PCL operations which
require documentation.

The purpose of this guide is to identify the differences in
the implementation of the PCL 5 Printer Language for
different HP LaserJet and DeskJet printers, as compared to
that described in the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical
Reference Manual
. This guide describes new commands and
exceptions to existing commands unique to the printers, as
well as internal typeface/font support and print
environment settings.
