HP PCL/PJL reference (PCL 5 Printer Language) - Technical Reference Manual Part II

HP-GL/2 Commands and Syntax
There are two classes of commands used to print vector graphics:
PCL printer language commands and HP-GL/2 commands. As the
name implies, the PCL printer language commands are used when
in the PCL printer language mode. They define the area on the page
where HP-GL/2 graphics are printed and provide a means to enter
HP-GL/2 mode. The HP-GL/2 commands are used within HP-GL/2
mode. They define the image that is printed, and allow you to return
to the PCL printer language mode. The HP-GL/2 language has its
own syntax, and each command is listed in this section of the manual.
The vector graphics commands have been grouped into functional
categories. The categories are designated as shown in Table 17-1
through . Each of the command categories is discussed in its own
chapter, beginning with Chapter 19, The Configuration and Status
Group.
