SIZE Sets the point size used by PCL-XL to switch

PAGEPROTECT Page protection configuration. The page
protection feature reserves a block of printer
memory to prevent printer overrun errors
(error 21) when formatting very dense or
complex images, especially HP-GL/2 images.
The variable can be set to any legal value at
any time, regardless of the current amount of
free memory or the currently set resolution.
When a job is sent, if there is not enough
memory to print correctly with the current
resolution and page protection configuration,
the system temporarily overrides the
resolution and/or page protect values to run
the job. In these cases, the job may be printed
at 300 dpi without page protection. When the
page protection status is changed, memory is
reconfigured and all downloaded fonts, PCL
macros, and PostScript dictionaries are lost
(however, no I/O data is lost). Refer to
“Commands that Affect Printer Memory” in
Appendix A. OFF, LETTER,
