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.
