The following information is provided as is, and the authors take no responsibility for the correctness.
PCL XL is a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer language optimized for printing from graphical user interfaces (GUI) like Microsoft Windows® and OS/2®.
The PCL XL language commands are designed to optimally match the graphics printing requirements for GUI-based applications.
In most cases, for every graphics print command that a GUI wishes to perform, there is a matching PCL XL language command. This reduces the number of commands required to describe a graphics page.
The latest technical reference manuals can be ordered or downloaded from Hewlett-Packard.
