Internal Fonts

Internal fonts are the fonts resident in the printer when shipped.

Landscape

See Orientation.

Logical Page

The PCL logical page (also referred to as the addressable area)

defines the area in which the cursor can be positioned. Although the

printer does not actually have a cursor (like the blinking underline

character used on most computer terminals), the cursor position

refers to the currently active printing position (CAP). In other words,

the location of the “cursor” is the position on the logical page where

the next character is positioned. You can move the cursor to different

points on the logical page using the cursor positioning commands;

however, the cursor cannot be moved outside of the logical page

bounds.

Macro

A macro is a collection of escape sequences, control codes, and data

downloaded to the printer, whose execution can be initiated using a

single command.

A list of configurable items. In the nomenclature of this document,

an “item” is one particular configurable entity (such as “Copies”); a

“value” is an “item’s” particular configuration (such as “Copies=10”).
