HP RTL is Hewlett-Packard’s Raster Transfer Language. It is a language that is understood by various plotters and printers, and is used to produce plotted or printed output from those devices. HP RTL is similar to Hewlett-Packard’s PCL printer language; many of its commands are the same as those of PCL, though some are different, and you should be aware of these differences if you are already familiar with PCL.
