2. HP LaserJet Emulation mode
Your Xerox laser printer supports Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet
IIISi printer commands as documented in the HP LaserJet IIISi
Printer User's Reference Manual and the HP PCL 5 Printer
Language Technical Reference Manual. In addition, several
additional capabilities of the HP LaserJet III and HP LaserJet 2000
are supported, as outlined in this chapter.
This chapter is intended for the advanced user who wants to
control the printer directly through commands, or for the
programmer writing application software.
The information in this chapter is not a tutorial for HP PCL
programming. This chapter only highlights certain features
specific to the Xerox HP LaserJet Emulation mode. Because this
chapter is only a supplement, the standard information described
in Hewlett-Packard documentation has been omitted.
In HP LaserJet Emulation mode, the printer is suitable for a wide
range of office graphics and text processing applications,
including the following:
• Word processing
• Database reporting
• Financial planning
• Business graphics
• Office publishing
The Xerox HP PCL 5 emulation command interpreter is
compatible with the HP LaserJet Series IIISi. The following
capabilities of the HP LaserJet Series III and LaserJet Series 2000
are supported:
• The printer implements the HP LaserJet Series IIISi font set.
• The printer does not have the capability to emulate HP
cartridge fonts.
• The HP PCL 5 commands do not support any of the available
printer options, such as the hard disk and network interface
controllers.
For a complete list of supported HP commands, refer to the "HP
PCL command quick reference" and "HP-GL/2 command quick
reference" appendices.
