Page Size Command - HP PCL 5 Reference Manual

Page Size Command

The Page Size command designates the size of the paper which in
turn defines the size of the logical page.
PAPER:
ENVELOPES:
Default = 2 (Configurable from Control Panel)
Range = 1, 2, 3, 6, 26, 27, 80, 81, 90, 91, 100 (Other values ignored)
Note
Refer to the "PCL Feature Support Matrix" in Chapter 1 of the PCL 5
Comparison Guide or the printer User's Manual for lists of supported
paper and/or envelope sizes on specific printers.
Upon receipt of this command any unprinted pages are printed, the
top margin, text length, and left and right margins are set to their user
defaults, and any automatic macro overlay is disabled. The cursor is
moved to the left edge of the logical page at the top margin on the
following page (see Figure 5-5). Also, certain HP-GL/2 state variables
are reset (refer to Table 5-1, under "Sending a Page Size
Command:").
The factory default Page Size is Letter (A4 for 220v option printer);
however, a user default Page Size may be selected from the control
panel. The Page Size command takes precedence over the printer's
control panel FORM setting.
