shows how to select PCL emulation and discusses PCL emulation commands, along
with resident PCL emulation font and symbol set support.
To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: "PCL Support"

Parallel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automatically switches
