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

8-20 PCL Font Selection EN
Orientation
The Orientation command (
E
C
&l#O) designates the position of the
logical page with respect to the physical page. Earlier printers could
only print bitmap fonts and raster graphics in the orientation for which
they were designed. However, the HP LaserJet IID, IIP, 2000, and all
PCL 5 HP LaserJet printers have the capability to automatically rotate
bitmap fonts and raster graphics to match the page orientation;
therefore, all fonts are available in all four page orientations and print
directions. Whenever a scalable font is selected, it is created in the
current orientation for printing. Refer to “Logical Page Orientation
Command” and “Print Direction Command” in Chapter 5 for more
information.
