LaserWriter Select 310: Uses PCL4 Escape Sequences (10/94)


I am using a LaserWriter Select 310 with my custom MS-DOS application on a MS-DOS computer. The programmer who wrote the application is requesting the hex printing code for the LaserWriter Select 310, so it can be added as a selection in the application. Are these hex codes available?

The LaserWriter Select 310 uses PostScript and PCL4 for printing. The hex codes the programmer wants are probably the PCL4 escape sequences. Escape sequences are typically used with PCL or dot matrix printers.

Where to Find PCL4 Escape Sequences
-----------------------------------
* The User's Guide for the Select 310 has some information.
* Numerous books available for programming LaserWriters and
Hewlett-Packard printers, which we emulate via PCL4.
*â•©Hewlett-Packard publishes a manual for programming in PCL

Another option available to the programmer is to use PostScript instead of PCL.
