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

23-4 The Character Group EN
Note In the examples in this chapter, the left column identifies the
command sequence data for the plot. If the label command text is too
wide for the column width, is it continued on a second line (which
might indicate a Carriage Return in the text). In actual use, the text
should be presented on one line, with no carriage-returns. If a
Carriage Return is required in the example, it is indicated as “CR-LF.”
