Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual - Business ...

Example: Switching Printer Languages
The job in this example prints two pages: one in PCL and one in
PostScript. The program first enters PCL, and then immediately
enters HP-GL/2 to draw a box and print “PCL Print Job.” Next,
PostScript is entered and PostScript data is sent to the printer to draw
a box and print “PostScript Job.”
