; ; ;– 22-Dec-88 ←Latest Change ———————————————— ; ; This file is intended to serve two purposes: ; ; 1) To provide a reference to the myriad of ESCAPE codes used in the ; Hewlett Packard printer control language (PCL) for the various ; models of HP Laser Printers. ; ; 2) As a data file for a series of utilities that operate on PCL files ; to display the contents in an intelligable manner and provide some ; filtering and editing capabilities. (Utilities are in the works!) ; ; The primary source of information for this file has been the HP LaserJet ; Series II Technical Reference Manual and other various sources such as the ; file ESC_CODE.ARC by S. Noh (SYSOP Form Feed LaserJet BBS (210) 869-1327) ; found on many bulletin boards. ; ; The list as presented is sorted on Functional Area, then by Escape code ; sequence. You can easily adjust this by passing the file through the ; DOS or other SORT utility of your choice. ; ; To enable this document to stay up to date, I encourage anybody with ; knowledge greater than mine to add any codes they know of to the list, ; but to retain the format provided as this will be expected by the PCL ; utilities when they are done. Where the availability on a printer model ; is unknown, a ? appears in the availability column. For those codes ; that have a user defined numeric field, the comment ends with "= #'. ; This will cause the PCL display utility to fill in the value when ; analyzing the PCL file. ; ; The original file name that I have distributed is called PCL100.ARC. In ; order to keep some track of the state of updates to the file I suggest ; that if you upload it without any changes to another board, you retain ; the same name, if you contribute some additional information, add one ; to the file name (i.e. PCL101.ARC). A history section is provided at ; the end of the file for you to record your name and any additional info ; you think may be useful to others on this topic (optional). Just start ; line with a semicolon (;) to indicate that it is a comment. ; ; Lindsey S.
