PCL 5 feature support

Table 1 describes the contents of the subsequent feature support tables for HP LaserJet and HP

color LaserJet products. These tables list all of the printer commands from the PCL 5 Printer

Language Technical Reference Manual and identify which commands the various products

support.

Note The PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual was revised for the release of the

HP LaserJet 4 printer and contains all of the PCL language features for printers up to and including

the HP LaserJet 4 printer. Subsequent commands are covered in the PCL 5 Comparison Guide,

the PCL 5 Color Technical Reference Manual, and this document.

Note The information contained in the following tables is subject to change without notice. To ensure

that the specific support information is correct, test these functions and commands on your

product.

In the following tables, if the command value field parameters are not listed, then all parameters

are supported by printers that support that command.

Corresponding parameter values are shown in brackets after the command. For example, under

the Page Size command, the table lists “Letter [2],” which indicates that the value field to select

for letter size in the Page Size command is “2”.

Commands that are not supported (ns) by a printer are ignored.
