Note: The EPSON GL/2 mode is similar to the GL/2 mode included in the HP LaserJet 4
emulation. Table 1-6 shows the differences between EPSON GL/2 mode and the GL/2
mode in the HP LaserJet 4 emulation. While in EPSON GL/2 mode, the operator can
enter GL/2 mode without sending the ESC %#B (Enter GL/2 mode) command. If the
operator's application software cannot send the ESC %#B command, then use this mode.

Notes: EPSON GL/2 mode has two operational modes. One is LJ4-GL/2 mode; the other is the
GL-like mode.
LJ4-GL/2 mode emulates the GL/2 mode in the HP LaserJet 4 emulation. The user can
print with software that supports the HP 7600 series plotter.
The GL-like mode features all the commands of the LJ4-GL/2 mode, plus a few additional
commands. The GL-like mode emulates some of the HP-GL
commands. If the application software uses unsupported commands for the GL-like
mode, print cannot be assured.
Optional modes: EPSON Script Level 2(PostScript Level 2 emulation) mode
