Printer Control Language (PCL) page formatting For more information on PCL, refer to the Printer Languages and Interfaces Technical Reference. It contains a complete listing with descriptions of PCL commands. To determine which PCL commands your printer supports, see “Appendix A: PCL support” on page 22. Printable areas The printable areas and logical pages for PCL emulation (both portrait and landscape orientation) are illustrated below.
For the Universal paper size, the area dimensions are listed in pel ranges. Paper ID 99 will be supported for backward compatibility with other Lexmark printers. Paper ID 99 has the same logical paper size as ID 100 (compatible with HP LaserJet 5Si/5SiMx) but is 8 pels wider than the Lexmark 4039.
