HP LASERJET 5P/5MP AND 6P/6MP PRINTERS - ADDITIONAL PCL AND PJL
COMMANDS (2 BYTE PCL, PRINTING DIRECTION, MP TRAY SELECTION, PRINTER
NAME, PRINTING TEST PAGES)


ADDITIONAL PCL CODES
     
     
     2 BYTE PCL
     
     2 byte PCL allows 2 bytes of information to be downloaded to the
     printer to print one character.  This is necessary to accommodate
     large symbol sets, specifically the Asian languages.
     
     Text Parsing Methods
     
     There are three text parsing methods used to send 2 byte
     information down to the printer, and all three are included in
     the HP LaserJet 5P/5MP printer.  Details about these methods are
     found in the HP LaserJet 4PJ printer Technical Reference Manual.
     The escape sequence tells the printer the text parsing modes are
     changing.  The number represented by the pound sign specifies
     which parsing method.
     
                 <esc>&#P
               
               # = 0-1  for One-byte
                        
               # = 21   for Asian 7-bit
                        
               # = 31   for Shift JIS
                        
               # = 38   for Asian 8-bit
                        
               
               
     
     PRINTING DIRECTION
     
     This PCL command allows the printing of characters vertically
     from top to bottom instead of horizontally from left to right.
               
               
               <esc>&cA#T
               
               # = 0   Horizontal
                       
               # = -1  Vertical
                       
     

ADDITIONAL PJL COMMANDS
     
          
          NOTE:     The following PJL commands are in
                    addition to the numerous PJL commands
                    that are defined in the PJL Technical
                    Reference Manual.
     
     
     MP TRAY AS A CASSETTE OR FIRST TRAY
     
     This command sets the configuration of Tray 1 (MP Tray) as either
     a FIRST tray or a CASSETTE tray.  The command is as follows:
     
               Ec%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT MPTRAY = FIRST or CASSETTE
               
               Ec%-12345X
          
          NOTE:     The default value is FIRST.
     
     
     PRINTER NAME DEFINITION
     
     This command changes the printer name to anything up to 32
     characters.  The command is as follows:
     
               Ec%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT PRINTERNAME = XXXXXXX
               
               Ec%-12345X
     
     Put in the desired printer name for the XXXXXXX values.
     
          
          NOTE:     This change will reflect in all places
                    that print the printer name.
     
     
     PRINTING SELF-TEST PAGES
     
     This PJL command instructs the printer to print any of the six
     self-test pages or the continuous self-test.  The command is as
     follows:
     
               Ec%-12345X@PJL SET TESTPAGE = SELFTEST or other
               variable
               
               Ec%-12345X
     
     Substitute the variable for the particular test desired:
