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. You can position this on the page using a PCL command. Anisotropic scaling A form of i[...]

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. Current units The current unit type in use in HP -[...]

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. Fonts can either be re[...]

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. For example, left justification involves aligning the left end of every lin[...]

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. Per[...]

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. Scalable fonts are almost invariably propor tionally spaced. RAM Random Access Memo[...]

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. Vertical plot size The original vertical size of an imported HP - GL and HP - GL/2 image. VMI Ve[...]

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. Some escape sequences require paramet[...]

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. It does not execute them.[...]
