Two-Byte HP-GL/2 Support
One-byte applications (which support non-orthogonal rotation, 
scaling, and shearing of text) have long been able to use HP-GL/2 to 
print to HP LaserJet printers. Two-byte applications have not had this 
capability until the introduction of HP LaserJet 5 and 5M printers.
The capability of 2-byte applications (which support non-orthogonal 
rotation, scaling, and shearing of text) to print to HP LaserJet printers 
using HP-GL/2 is provided by the Label Mode (LM) command.

WinJ-DBCS, GB2312, or Big-5.
