All
PCL Command Sequences begin with the
escape character (an
ASCII control code with a hex value of 1Bh, 27 decimal) and end with the first upper case letter (or "=" note: "@" is considered an uppercase letter). In between there is either nothing (the
PCL command is just the escape and a single upper case letter) or a set of one or two characters and often a numerical value. The single character
commands are listed at the end of the "Decoded
PCL commands" table below. The first non-uppercase character after the escape will be a symbol between "!" and "\" (most commonly one of %,&,( or *) which is called the "parameter." After the parameter there is normally a lower case letter called the "group." After this there may be a numeric value. If no value is present, the value is assumed
to be zero. Finally the ending uppercase letter is called the "command."
See
Examples, Tutorials below for some samples of
PCL commands and the
Decoded commands List for detailed information. Note that these use the text "Ec"
to mean the escape character. Since the escape character is not printable, it is very hard
to convey in human readable text. Common abreviations are Esc, Ec, [], or <-. See the
ASCII page for more information on the codes. That page also allows you
to convert between hex, decimal or ASCII codes. The form below can be used
to find english descriptions of
PCL commands. Just paste the
PCL in
to the box, if you use "Ec" or "esc"
to mean the escape character, press the "Ec and esc
i hope this will work for you
All the Best.
