PCL
2-13
Your Lexmark printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode to enable a
Hewlett-Packard Company’s driver to select the forward compatibility fonts. The
Lexmark PCL driver uses the backward compatibility mode and temporarily switches
the printer to this mode. The PCL (PJL) commands to switch the default compatibility
modes are:
Forward
ESC
%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL6
@PJL RESET
ESC
%-12345X
Backward
ESC
%-12345X@PJL DEFAULT LPARM:PCL LFONTCOMPATIBILITY=PCL5
@PJL RESET
ESC
%-12345X
