HP-GL/2 Printing
This printer supports printing using the original Canon GARO printer control language and printing using HP-GL/2
and HP RTL emulation to print in colors resembling the colors produced by printers from other companies.
The printer automatically switches to the corresponding processing depending on whether a GARO or HP-GL/2
and HP RTL emulation job is received.
•
GARO is an abbreviation of Graphic Arts Language with Raster Operations.

settings.
HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation related settings such as the printer to emulate are configured from the printer Con-
trol Panel. (Refer to " Menu Structure
