About this Developer’s Guide 2.0 About this Developer’s Guide 2.1 Which printers are covered by this guide1 Throughout this HP PCL Developer’s Guide you will see printer names referenced. Here is a list of actual names and the “Series” names used throughout this guide. 2.1.
About this Developer’s Guide 2.2 Special Notes 4 HP DeskJets were designed in series - the printer’s internal firmware will usually report the series name, rather than the specific product name. All printers in a series will behave as the base model. For example, the HP DeskJet 810C Series printers were sold under the name of the HP DeskJet 810C, HP DeskJet 812C, and the HP DeskJet 815C. All three printer models have the same internal firmware, reporting the printer as a HP DeskJet 810C.

Introduction to HP PCL 5.0 Introduction to HP PCL 5.1 History of HP PCL Printer Language Hewlett-Packard created the HP PCL Printer Language to provide an economical and efficient way for application programs to control a range of printer features across a number of printing devices. HP has evolved both the definition and implementations of the HP PCL printer language to provide the optimal price and performance balance.
Introduction to HP PCL Once an HP PCL command sets a parameter, that parameter will remain set until that HP PCL command is repeated with a new value, the printer is reset to its user default environment, or another command makes a change. For example, if you send the printer a command to set line spacing to 3 lines/inch, each page will print 3 lines/inch until the printer receives a Line Spacing or VMI command or the printer is reset. 5.
Introduction to HP PCL zi Parameter Character - Any character from the ASCII table within the range 96-126 decimal (" " " through "~"). This character specifies the parameter to which the previous value field applies. This character is used when combining escape sequences. Zn Termination Character - Any character from the ASCII table within the range 64-96 decimal ("@" through "~”). This character specifies the parameter to which the previous value field applies.
Introduction to HP PCL Esc & l 1 o Escape Character 2 A Termination Character Parameterized Character Group Character Value Field Parameter Character Value Field Notice that the "Esc" and the "&l" are dropped from the second printer command when they are combined. Also, the upper-case "O" that terminated the first command becomes a lowercase "o" parameter character when these commands are combined.
The Page 6.0 The Page 6.1 Logical Page, Physical Page The HP PCL printer language distinguishes between the physical page and the logical page. The physical page is the actual sheet of paper. Its size is determined by the size of the media installed in the printer. The logical page defines the addressable area in which the cursor can be positioned. CAP (Current Active Position) refers to the "cursor" position on the logical page, similar to the cursor used on most computer terminals.
The Page 6.2 Page Layout Referring to the previous figure, each page passed through the printer has a number of components. Text printing is normally limited to a specific printable area within the logical page known as the text area. The text area is entirely contained by the logical page, but may be smaller because of margins. There are unprintable regions along the outside edges and bottom of each sheet of print media.
The Page point (0,0) may change. The point (0,0) then, does not necessarily equate to the top of the paper. CAP Position Top Margin (0,0) X Y Top Margin (0,0) ABCD... X Y ABCD... Logical Page Logical Page Landscape Portrait 6.2.2 CAP Reference Point The first line starts at the (0,0) coordinate. CAP starts at (X,Y), where X= the left margin setting, and Y= the top margin setting.
The Print Environment 7.0 The Print Environment The group of all the printer's current feature settings is collectively referred to as the print environment. Default settings refer to the settings the printer uses unless printer commands are used to select other settings. Default settings are settings that are programmed into the printer at the factory. Each time a job is printed, some of the printer's feature settings may be changed from their default values to produce a desired output for that job.
Merged Text and Graphics 8.0 Merged Text and Graphics The process for merging text and graphics with the HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers in both portrait and landscape orientation is the same as the landscape orientation method for the HP DeskJet 520, 540, 550C, and 560C Series printers, described in the HP DeskJet 500 Series Technical Reference Guide.
Programming Hints 9.0 Programming Hints The following are overall guidelines to keep in mind when programming with HP PCL printer language commands. 9.0.1 Follow Specifications Follow the specifications for HP PCL printer language commands as described in this guide. Do not rely upon undocumented workarounds. For example, the HP DeskJet 500 Series printers do not allow a negative vertical cursor movement of more than 1/3 inch.
Programming Hints 9.0.4 Priority of Commands There are no finite rules when it comes to structuring your overall program. In general, start by setting the print environment with the printer control commands, such as Reset, Selecting the Media Source, and so on. It is almost always advisable to start and end your program with the reset command (Esc E). This clears the printer environment and places your program back to the default settings.
Programming Hints 4 Avoid using a Start Raster Graphics and End Raster Graphics command on every line. Use these commands at the beginning and end of the graphics image. 4 When setting the raster graphics width, calculate the widest point of the raster image. Use this value to set the width once for the entire raster graphics image. 4 Avoid setting top margin or text length to values outside of the printable area. This may cause data loss.
HP PCL Commands 10.0 10.1 HP PCL Commands Control Codes and Special Character Codes The following commands initiate printer control functions: 10.1.1 Escape Provides supplementary control of printer functions. The escape character itself is a prefix for the string of one or more characters that follow.

HP PCL Commands 10.13 Raster Graphics The following HP PCL commands apply to the printing of raster graphic images on HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers. 10.13.1 Raster Mode The Start Raster (Esc * r # A) command begins a restricted state called raster mode. Raster mode locks out commands that would affect rendering of the graphics image. These commands remain locked out until End Raster (Esc * r C). 10.13.
HP PCL Commands Start Raster HP2000C DJ970C DJ895C DJ890C DJ880C DJ870C DJ850C DJ810C DJ695C DJ690C DJ680C DJ670C Esc * r # A # Value DJ600 DJ660C Start Raster - DJ610C TABLE 48. DJ830C 10.13.
HP PCL Commands 4 Resets the left graphics margin to 0. 4 Moves CAP to the row immediately following the end of the raster area and zero-fills empty rows if source raster height was specified; otherwise to the next row. 4 Resets the plane pointer to 1. If a value field is received, it is ignored and the command is still executed.
HP PCL Commands Source Raster Width HP2000C DJ970C DJ895C DJ880C DJ870C DJ850C DJ830C DJ810C DJ695C DJ680C DJ670C DJ660C DJ610C *r#S # Value DJ600 DJ690C Source Raster Width - Esc TABLE 51.

HP PCL Commands 10.14 Raster Data Transfer The Raster Transfer commands (Esc * b # V, Esc * b # W) define how many bytes will be interpreted as binary raster data The Transfer Raster by Plane (Esc * b # V) command is used when the data is encoded by plane, as specified by the Simple Color (Esc * r # U) command. Transfer Raster by Plane is used to send each plane in the row except the last; Transfer Raster by Row (Esc * b # W) must be used to send the last plane and advance the row.
HP PCL Commands Transfer Raster by Row/Block HP2000C DJ895C DJ890C DJ880C DJ870C DJ850C DJ830C DJ810C DJ695C DJ680C DJ670C DJ660C DJ610C * b # W [data] # Value DJ600 DJ690C Transfer Raster by Row or Block - Esc TABLE 54. DJ970C 10.14.
HP PCL Commands 10.15 Raster Compression Since raster images take a large amount of memory and processing time, raster data should be reduced as much as possible. White-space data transfer can be reduced by sending empty rows and planes (Esc * b 0 W, Esc * b 0 V), or by offsetting the left graphic margin (Esc * r 1 A) or the vertical starting point (Esc * b # Y). The Compression Method (Esc * b # M) command provides several other ways of compressing data.
HP PCL Commands ! Method 1 requires byte pairs: a Transfer Raster (Esc * b # V or Esc * b # W) command with an odd value field is ignored and the data discarded. Method 2 - Tagged Image File Format Encoding (TIFF revision 4) Method 2 (“packbit” encoding) combines methods 0 and 1, with blocks of repeated bytes and blocks of literal (unencoded) bytes. A control byte precedes the raster data; it indicates the number of succeeding bytes, and whether they are repeated or literal.
HP PCL Commands Compression method 1 - Run-length encoding Esc*r1 A Esc*b1 m6W(3)U(0)A(1)T Esc*rC Compression method 2 - TIFF encoding Esc*r1 A Esc*b2m6W(-3)U(0)A(-1)T -orEsc*b2m6W(-3)U(2)ATT Esc*rC ! Parentheses in the above escape sequences are for readability only. Method 3 - Delta Row Encoding This method replaces only bytes in the current row that are different from the preceding row (seed row). Unreplaced bytes are replicated from the seed row. The current row then becomes the seed row.
HP PCL Commands The values of the offset have the following definitions: 0 to 30: The offset is 0 to 30. 31: The offset is 31 or greater. If the offset is 31, an additional offset byte follows the command byte. The offset in the command byte is added to the offset byte. If the off- set byte is 0, the offset is 31; if the offset byte is 255, additional offset bytes follow. The last offset byte will have a value less than 255.
HP PCL Commands The following data is compressed using method 3. Italicized bytes are those needing replacement, i.e., bytes different from the seed row. Graphics data is binary. Byte #: 1 2 3 4 5 Row 1 00000000 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000 Row 2 00000000 11111111 11110000 00000000 00000000 Row 3 00001111 11111111 11110000 10101010 10101010 Esc * r 1 A Start Raster initializes the seed row to all zeros.
HP PCL Commands Control Bit: Determines whether the replacement data is encoded, and also the bit boundaries of the command byte’s other two fields. Offset Count: The number of bytes the replacement data is offset from the current position in the seed row. Replacement Count: The number of consecutive data bytes to be replaced. Control Bit = 0 If the control bit is 0, the replacement data is uncompressed. Bits 0-2 contain the replacement count; bits 3-6 contain the offset count.
HP PCL Commands Seed Row Source Esc * b # S Specifies the plane of the seed row for multi-plane graphics in compression methods 3 and 9. Value (#) = 0 - Use the corresponding plane of the previous row. = > 0 - Number of previous seed planes before the current plane Default = 0 Range = 0 to number of currently active planes. For example, if the printer is in 3-plane mode and Esc * b 0 S was sent, then: 4 The Cyan plane would use the Cyan plane from the previous row as a seed plane.

Fonts 11.0 Fonts A soft font is composed of a Font Definition (font header) and a series of character definitions. Both are described below. In order to use the standard bitmap font definition on a HP DeskJet 600 or 85X Series printers, the Font Descriptor Size field must be set to exactly 64. The First Code and Last Code fields must also contain valid information.
Fonts 11.2 Resolution-Specified Bitmap Font Definition (Format 20) The Resolution-Specified Bitmap font definition shown below is the same as the Standard Bitmap font definition, except that it allows specification of resolution (shaded fields). As with the Standard Bitmap Definition, the Font Descriptor Size field and the First Code/Last Code fields must be filled and valid. The Font Descriptor Size field for the Resolution Specified Bitmap must be at least 68.
Fonts The following notation is used to define data types in the font definitions: (BOOL) Boolean (0,1) (UBYTE) Unsigned Byte (0 . . . 255) (SBYTE) Signed Byte (-1 28 . . .1 27) (UINT) Unsigned Integer (0 . . . 65535) (SINT) Signed Integer (-32768 . . . 32767) (ULINT) Unsigned Long Integer (0 . . .

Fonts 11.2.10 Spacing (BOOL) Specifies the type of font spacing. Fixed spacing is 0; proportional spacing is l; dual-fixed spacing is 2. ! 11.2.11 HP DeskJet printers prior to the HP DeskJet 600 Series treat values other than 0 or 1 as 1, and require that landscape fonts have fixed spacing. Symbol Set (UINT) Bound Font - Specifies the symbol set characteristic of the font. The value for this field is derived from the symbol set identification number (ID) used by Esc(lD in the font selection process.
Fonts 11.2.14 Height (UINT) Bitmap Font - Specifies the font’s height in quarter-dot units. The value, converted to points (1/72 inch), is used as the height characteristic of the font. Height combines with Height Extended to specify the design height of the font in 1/1024 dots. For example, a 10 point font at 300 dpi has a height field of 166 quarter dots (1200 quarter dots/inch, 1/72 inch/ point). (10 point) x (1 inch /72 point) x (300 dots/inch) x (4 quarter-dots/dot) = 166.667 11.2.

Fonts 11.2.22 Placement HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers ignore this field. 11.2.23 Underline Position (SBYTE) Bitmap Font - Specifies the distance from the baseline to the top dot row of the underline in dots. Zero specifies an underline position at the baseline. A positive value specifies an underline position above the baseline. A negative value specifies an underline position below the baseline. Scalable Font - Set to 0. Underline Distance is ignored.
Fonts 11.2.27 First Code (UINT) Specifies the character code of the first printable character in the font. The space character may be printable, and will print an image if one is defined; otherwise, a space control code is executed. For a type 3 font, this field can have any value from 0 through 65535. First Code must be less than or equal to Last Code. Symbol SetType 0 1 2 10 11 11.2.

Fonts 11.3 Bitmap Resolution Segment The BR (Bitmap Resolution) segment is used to define the X resolution and Y resolution of the bitmap. This segment must be present for bitmap fonts, otherwise the font is invalidated. If the specified resolution is not supported by the device, the font is invalidated. The structure for the BR segment is: Byte 15 (MSB) 8 17 0 Byte x BR x+1 x+2 Segment Size x+3 x+4 11.3.
Fonts 11.4 Character Enhancement Segment The CE (Character Enhancement) segment is used to indicate if a downloaded font is allowed to use the printer’s character enhancement algorithms. It allows soft-font vendors and ISVs to use the printer’s algorithms to enhance their fonts. The structure of the CE segment is: Byte 15 (MSB) 8 17 (LSB) 0 Byte x CE x+1 x+2 Segment Size x+3 x+4 x+5 x+6 Style x+7 x+8 11.4.
