ii i GLOSSAR Y Absolute plotting A method of plotting in the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language where coordinates are specified relative to the orig in of the coordinate system currently in use. Anchor point The top left-hand corner of the PCL picture frame.
i v Control panel reset A reset or factory reset performed using the printer control panel. Cross-hatching A method of shading using perpendicula r diagonal lines that cross one another. Current units The current unit type in use in HP-GL and HP-GL/2 mode.
v Fixed spacing See monospacing. Font A collection of characters that are designed to work in harmony together. A font has several characteristics that identify it uniquely: character or sy mbol set, spacing, pitch, height or point size, style, stroke weight and typeface.
v i Justification The way in which text is aligned. For example, left justification involves aligning the left end of every line of text. Label A text string that forms part of an HP-GL and HP-GL/2 plot. Landscape The orientation in which the top edge of the page is longer than the side edges.
vi i Perforation skip A feature whereby the printer automati cally compensates for a page break and resumes printing from the top of the text area on the next page. Permanent font A downloaded font that is retained when a printer reset is performed. Permanent macro A macro stored in the printer that will not be erased if the printer is reset.
vii i RAM Random Access Memory. The printer's mem ory in which fonts and macros can be stored and where pages that are to be printed are composed. Raster graphics A m ethod of representing a graphic image as a series of zeroes and ones that correspond to white and black dots respectively.
i x Soft clip limits See graphics window. The soft limits are determined by the IW command. Source image The graphic im age that is applied to th e destination image in the LaserJet print model. The interaction of the two images is determ ined by the current source and pattern transparency settings.
x VMI Vertical motion index. The vertical distance that the print position moves down the page when a line feed is performed. This can be set using printer comm ands or with the printer's control panel by adjusting the "Lines" menu option in PAGE FORMAT MODE.

2006/05/31 CHAPTER 5 PJL- 4 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. About PJL Printer Job Language(PJL) provides job status cont rol by sending the printe r status informat ion to the application. PJL can be a valuable t ool for the single-user environm ent, but is a m uch more useful tool for the networking / sharing envi ronment.
2006/05/31 CHAPTER 5 PJL - 5 1.2. In Case of Using PJL with a Non-PJL Printer Our recent printer models support PJL, however, earlier m odels do not . If the PJL comma nds are sent to a non-PJL printer, the printer acts as foll ows; 1.

2006/05/31 CHAPTER 5 PJL - 7 1.4. Variables PJL can use alphanumeric vari ables, numeric vari abless and strings. 1.4.1. Alphanumeric variables The first character must always be a character in the allowable range of letters and d igits. Letters consists of the uppercase characters (ASCII 65-90) and lowercase characters (ASCII 97-122).
2006/05/31 CHAPTER 5 PJL- 8 2. HOW TO USE PJL 2.1. Overview PJL resides "above" printer languages such as Postscript and PC L. Each job can be distinguished from the other jobs by PJL, and it can switch between PJL comm ands and printer language comm ands for each job.
2006/05/31 CHAPTER 5 PJL - 9 3. COMMAND GROUP Command Group Command Command Description Kernel Comm ands UEL Exits current printer language and returns control to PJL. EXECUTE Orders the printe r to execute the specified operation. SUPERUSER Moves to the SUPERUSER mode.
