Raster Transfer Language) developed by HP (Hewlett Packard).
HP-GL emulates the HP-GL commands of HP7550A.

TIFF/CALS
Print TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format bitmap files from UNIX workstations and DOS/V
computers.
TIFF/CALS files are rastorized by the machine. "Rastorization" refers to the process of printing dot by
dot from the bitmap image. This process does not require a printer driver so printing can be set from
either the machine or the Web browser.
• You can print GL/2 and TIFF/CALS files using PostScript 3.
