Hp Laserjet 4L Printer - HP PCL 5 Comparison Manual

HP LaserJet 4L
Printer
The HP LaserJet 4L printer is a smaller, low-cost HP
LaserJet printer. The control panel on this printer is
limited to one button with four indicators. Many of
the control panel functions must be controlled program-
matically using Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language
(refer to the Printer Job Language Technical Reference
Manual, part number 5021-0380 for detailed PJL
information).
The HP LaserJet 4L printer PCL command features are
identical to those of the HP LaserJet 4 printer PCL
features, except for some differences in parameter values
(such as for paper source—refer to Table 1-1). Additional
features which do not require PCL command control
include EconoMode and HP Memory Enhancement
technology (MEt). EconoMode causes the printer to print
less dots, thus saving toner. Memory Enhancement
technology involves some memory saving techniques to
better utilize available memory (refer to Chapter 5,
"Memory Usage" for additional information).
Typefaces in the HP LaserJet 4L printer are different from
those of the HP LaserJet 4 printer. The HP LaserJet 4
printer contains both Intellifont and TrueType scaling
technologies, but the 4L contains only Intellifont scaling
technology. Thus, the 4L does not contain any of the
TrueType typefaces, with one modification. The TrueType
Wingdings typeface has been converted to Intellifont format
and is available in the printer as an Intellifont typeface
(refer to Chapter 3, "Internal Typefaces/Fonts and Symbol
Sets" for additional information).
