iii GLOSSARY Absolute plotting A method of plotting in the HP - GL and HP - GL/2 graphics language where coordinates are specified relative to the origin of the coordinate system currently in us e. Anchor point The top left - hand corner of the PCL picture frame.
iv Control code An ASCII code that tells the computer to perform a particular function, such as a carriage return. Control panel reset A reset or factory reset performed using the printer control panel. Cross - hatching A met hod of shading using perpendicular diagonal lines that cross one another.
v Fill A shading applied to a shape that you have drawn. Fixed spacing See monospacing. Font A collection of characters that are designed to work in harmony together. A font has seve ral characteristics that identify it uniquely: character or symbol set, spacing, pitch, height or point size, style, stroke weight and typeface.
vi Isotropic scaling A form of image scaling using the SC command in HP - GL or HP - GL/2 mode in which the user units must be of equal size. Hence it may not be possible to use the entire graphics window to display the image. Justification The way in which text is aligned.
vii Pen Although this printer is a laser printer the HP - GL/2 and HP - GL graphics languages retains the notion of a pen and allows you to select between two pens, white and b lack. You must select a pen before you can draw anything. The HP - GL and HP - GL/2 language were originally developed for use with plotters and the terminology remains.
viii Print position The position from which printing of the next character or graphic object will begin, providing that no operations that change the print position are performed in the interim.
ix Proportional spacing Fonts intended for high quality typographic output use a method of character spacing in which the space occupied by a single character on a line of text depends on the individual design of the character. This is known as proportional spacing.
x Secondary font In LaserJet mode the printer maintains two current font settings. The secondary font is the second of these..
xi Serif A kind of typeface normally u sed for body text. Serif typefaces have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters that makes text more readable. Soft clip limits See graphics window. The soft limits are determined by the IW command. Source image The graphic image that is app lied to the destination image in the LaserJet print model.
xii User units Coordinate units specified by the user with the HP - GL and HP - GL/2 SC command. Vector graphics A method of defining graphic images in terms of coordinates, points and lines. The HP - GL and HP - GL/2 graphics languages use this method.

2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 10 2. INTRODUCTION This laser printer provides a complete emulation of the supported Hewlett Packard LaserJet printer. Features include raster and vector graphics, suppor t for bitmap and scalable fonts and page control.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 11 3. CONTROLLING THE PRIN TER 3.1. Control Codes Control codes are ASCII codes that tell the printer to perform a given function, such as a carriage return. You can send these codes to the printer as part of a program.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 12 3.2. Escape Sequences Escape sequences , also known as PCL (Printer Contro l Language) commands, tell the printer which operations to perform. An escape sequence consists of the Esc character followed by a string of characters which define the operation to be performed.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 13 3.2.3. Display functions mode You can choose to make the printer print escape sequences instead of executing them. Send the printer the following sequence: EscY (27)(89) <1B><59> Now the printer prints out escape sequences and prints the characters of the control codes.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 14 3.3. Environments 3.3.1. Factory default environment The factory default environment is the collection of printer settings programmed into t he printer before it leaves the factory. You can restore the factory default environment using the printer’s control panel.

2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 35 5. USING FONTS 5.1. Introduction A font is a collection of characters that have common characteristics, such as size, style and typeface, and which r anges over a given set of symbols. For example, 12 point Tennessee Bold in the Roman - 8 symbol set is a typical HL Series font .
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 36 Microsoft Windows 3.1 TrueType Compatible Fonts: HL - 1050/1070/1250/ 1270N/1450/1470N/ P2500/1660e/2060/ 2400C/2400Ce/3400CN/1650/1670N/3260N/2460 Ten nessee.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 37 You can buy cartridge/card - based bitmap fonts and scalable typefaces. Plug the cartridge/card into one of the printer’s cartridge/card slots and then select any font from them as if it were in the printer’s ROM.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 38 5.1.9. Downloadable fonts You can buy diskettes containing fonts which can be copied directly to the printer using t he DOS COPY command. You can also design your own fonts and download them to the printer. One disadvantage of downloaded fonts is that they reside in the printer’s RAM memory.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 39.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 40 5.1.16. Symbol set The symbol set is the list of symbols that constitute a particular font. Normally, symbol sets contain lower and upper case letters, numbers, punctuation marks and a selection of other commonly used symbols.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 41 5.2. Font Selection Commands 5.2.1. User - defined symbol sets User - defined symbol sets can be used with Unbound scalable fonts. Three new commands below are prepared for use to control a user - defined symbol set.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 42 0 - 1: Header size (UI) - set to 18 or greater. This value stands for the number of header bytes. 2 - 3 : Encoded Symbol Set Designator (UI) - should be as same as the ID code which is defined by ESC*c#R . 4 : Format (UB) - 1 for MSL (Intellifont), 3 for Unicode (TrueType).
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 43 Symbol map (Array of UI ) The symbol map, which has a list of s ymbol index numbers, is used to define the symbols for the symbol set. This map defines the combinations of symbol index numbers and character codes.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 44 User - defined symbol sets are defined by the command ESC ( f # W. Esc)symbol set ID (27)(41) <1Bh><29h> • This command selects the symbol set (character set) for the secondary font.

2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 91 6.4. Vector Graphics For large - scale graphic images it is more efficient to use vector graphics . In LaserJet emulation mode you can set up the page area on which to print vect or graphics images.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 92 6.5. The Picture Frame The PCL picture frame is the rectangular area of the page on which you can print graphic images. You can position and size the picture frame to suit your requirement s and achieve effects such as scaling or distortion of vector graphics images.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 93 7. MACROS 7.1. The Purpose of a Macro A macro is a sequence of commands that you wish to execute. You can specify the command seq uence and download it to the printer after which you can execute it with a single command.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 94 7.2. Defining a Macro To define a macro you must first assign an ID number to it, then send to the printer a Start Macro Definition command, the macro definition itself (consisting of a sequence of PCL commands) and finally an End Ma cro Definition command.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 95 7.3. Running a Macro Macros can be invoked in three different ways: they can be ‘executed’, ‘called’ or ‘enabled for overlay’. When a macro is 'executed' it uses the current modified print environment.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 96 7.4. Handling Macros 7.4.1. Delete all ma cros Esc&f6X (27)(38)(102)(54)(88) <1Bh><26h><66h><36h><58h> • This command deletes all macros from the printer’s memory.

2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 102 In a font status response, the "SELECT=" keyword line specifies the individual fonts. The font is identified by this line by specifying the font selection characteristics such as symbol set, spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typefaces.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 103.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 104 "LOCUNIT=" specifies the location unit of the font which is selected at present. The value field of the Set Status Readback Unit command is related to the value returned.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 105 For instance, a font extended response with the location type set to 1( selected at present ) where the font which is selected at present is the internal Pc Tennessee (18 point identified for printing) bold, retur ns the response as follows.
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 106 Status location type 1 (selected at present) is an incorre ct location for unbound font symbol sets and returns an error. Example responses in this section for "SYMBOLSETS=" do not indicate the complete list of symbol sets which are available internally, but only a partial list .
2001/10/02 CHAPTER 2 "PCL" - 107 8.5.17. Font cache In order to print characters from a scalable font, the printer changes the scalable character outlines into sized bitmaps. These bitmapped characters are produced on a character - by - character basis and th e produced bitmapped characters are stored in memory.
