HP-GL/2 mode.
E

% # A
# =0— Position cursor at previous PCL cursor position.
1 — Position cursor at current HP-GL/2 pen position.
Default = 0
Range = 0, 1 (even values are mapped to 0; odd values are
mapped to 1)
Sending the Enter PCL Mode command causes the printer to stop
interpreting the incoming data as HP-GL/2 commands and to begin
interpreting the data as PCL commands. The value field (#) specifies
the cursor position when PCL mode is entered.
0— A 0 parameter (
E
C
%0A) sets the pen position to the previous
PCL position (the cursor position before entering HP-GL/2 mode).
1— A 1 parameter (
E
C
%1A) sets the cursor position to the current
HP-GL/2 pen position. If the current HP-GL/2 pen position is outside
the bounds of the PCL logical page, the nearest point on the logical
page boundary becomes the new PCL cursor position.
No PCL variables except the cursor position are affected by entering
and exiting HP-GL/2 mode.
Example:
To exit HP-GL/2 mode using the current active cursor position (CAP)
that existed before entering HP-GL/2 mode, send:
