Printer Control Language. The command language for the HP
LaserJet printers. It has become a de facto standard used in many
printers and typesetters. PCL Level 5, introduced with the LaserJet III
in 1990, also supports Compugraphic's Intellifont scalable fonts.
Starting with the LaserJet 5 in 1996, PCL Level 6 streamlines the
graphics and font commands, reducing the amount of information that
has to be sent to the printer.
A network architecture in which nodes communicate directly with
other nodes, as opposed to client/server architecture.
A page description language (PDL) from Adobe used extensively on
all computer platforms. It is the de facto standard in commercial
typesetting and printing houses, many of which require PostScript files
as electronic input.
