Chapter 1 Software Features Software Features The PCL-II emulation software provides the following features: • Graphics and a selection of print densities. You can enable graphics mode and specify a density mode (dots per inch). • Print Attributes. Characters can be bold, italic, double high, double wide, etc. • Page Formatting. PCL-II commands allow you to set line spacing, page length, and vertical forms control. • Font Typefaces. Also referred to as print modes. The five typefaces include

2 HP PCL-II Introduction ® This chapter describes the HP PCL-II emulation host control codes that are supported for your 5525B/31/32 Series printer. Emulation refers to the ability of a printer to execute the commands of a particular printer control language. A printer control language is the coding system used to convey, manipulate, and print data. It contains character codes and command sequences that configure the emulation. In this manual, the terms emulation, printer protocol, and pri

Printer Feature Set Compatibility NOTE: The SFCC is the Special Function Control Code. From the P-Series protocol, this code is selectable from the front panel. The default value is hex 01. For the Proprinter and Epson emulations, the SFCC is always the ESC (hex 1B) character. Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes The remainder of this chapter describes the PCL-II printer control language codes that may be sent from a host computer attached to the printer. The escape (ESC) con

Chapter 2 Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes General Information Programmatic Printer Control Control codes and multi-character escape sequences are used to control the printers. The printers execute command parameters in the order they are received. Therefore, the order of the parameters is significant. Unrecognized escape sequences are ignored in their entirety and may cause erroneous printing since the printer may be unable to perform the requested operation. Logical and

Escape Sequences Escape Sequences An escape sequence consists of the ESC control code followed by one or more characters in succession. Both two-character and structured escape sequences control the printer. Two-character escape sequences take the form ESCX, where X is a character from the ASCII table (0 through ~). Structured escape sequences take the following form: ESCXy[parameter]Z This sequence is explained below: ESCXy Prefix. This part of the escape sequence indicates that the escape

Chapter 2 Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes Programmable Reset The programmable reset escape sequence (ESCE) causes the printer to eject paper to the top-of-form (position 0,0) if not already at top-of-form. This command resets all current printer configuration values to the following states. The printer remains on-line after a programmable reset. When the printer is reset, it is set to a known state as follows: • Primary and secondary character sets (fonts) as configured f

Character Font Selection Character Font Selection The printer can print several different character sets (fonts). By performing a printer self-test, you can see which fonts are installed in your printer. You may specify any of these fonts from an application. On the self-test printout, each available character font is printed along with a parameter number to the left of the printed font. There are two ways to select a font from those available: • By entering the parameter number via the cont

Chapter 2 Configuring the PCL-II Emulation with Control Codes Symbol Set Selection The printer allows you to select a symbol set. A symbol set is a set of characters that are mapped to certain locations in the printer’s memory. Symbol sets differ from one another in the characters contained in the set and in their locations within memory. The default symbol set is that of the default font specified from the control panel. The following escape sequences are used to specify the primary and se
