The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 111 is an earlier kind of laser printer than your
Star LaserPrinter 4111. Y ou should have no trouble running most popular
software packages, as those programs likely can send LaserJet III com-
mands.
Because the LaserJet III is a laser printer, though, its commands can give you
more control over your Star LaserPrinter 4111 than is possible with the other
built-in command sets. Recognizing that reality, we've put examples into
this chapter.
At the end of the chapter we describe how to create and use your own fonts,
and also how to save time by writing command macros.
4.1 PRINTER CONTROL LANGUAGE
4.1.1 What do Printer Control Language look
like?
The Star LaserPrinter 4111 includes a dozen common control codes (such as
<CR> for carriage returns) and single-character Escape sequences (such as
<ESC> E for resetting the printer). But all the other commands you can send
your Star LaserPrinter 4111look like this:
<ESC> cc n C
in which the cc prefix is a symbol or two showing the general category of
commands to which this one belongs, n is some variable you want to use in
this command, and C is the specific command you want performed.
