Print Environment - HP PCL 5 Comparison Manual

Print Environment

Introduction
All of a printer's current feature settings are collectively
referred to as a print environment. A PCL printer
maintains four print environments: Factory Default
Environment, User Default Environment, Modified Print,
and Overlay Environment.
This chapter identifies the Factory Default Environment
and User Default Environment. The Factory Default
Environment, which is programmed into a printer at the
factory, is listed in Table 4-1 for the PCL context and
Table 4-2 for the HP-GL/2 context. The User Default
Environment, which can be set from a printer's control
panel, is listed in Table 4-3.
Note
If a feature setting is not supported on a printer (for exam-
ple, duplex on non-duplex printers, or status readback on
printers which do not support that feature), then the
printer's print environment does not contain that feature
setting. In the following tables, not all values are used for
all printers. See Table 1-1 to identify supported values for a
certain HP printer.
The HP LaserJet 4PJ printer defaults to the ESC/P person-
ality. The defaults listed here are for PCL only.
