Appendix E: PCL
The table below shows some frequently-used PCL printer commands (escape se-
quences) that can be useful when sending a PCL print job from DOS to your GCC
printer. PCL commands tell the printer which actions to perform or which fonts to
use.
The commands listed below are a subset of the PCL command set. When entering
escape sequences, substitute the
left column with the appropriate number from the right column.
The character l shown in some examples after the ampersand (&) is a letter l (a
lower-case letter L).
