HP LaserJet 5 and
5M Printers
HP LaserJet 5 and 5M printers are performance-enhanced
follow-on products for HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus
printers, respectively. The enhanced PCL 5 printer
language in these printers include all of the PCL 5 features
supported by HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 4M Plus printers as
well as the features listed in Table 2-18.
Text Parsing
When 2-byte text parsing methods were introduced in HP
LaserJets (from LaserJet 4PJ on), the default text parsing
method was based on the default symbol set. For example,
if a user selected Roman-8 as the default symbol set
(via the control panel or a PJL command), then 1-byte
text parsing was the default method. If they selected
WINJ-DBCS as the default symbol set, Shift-JIS text
parsing was the default method.
HP LaserJet printers (from LaserJet 5 and 5M on) now
base the default text parsing method on the font type and
symbol set fields in the default font. If the default font is a
16-bit font, the default text parsing method is set to one
that matches the symbol set field. In all other cases, the
default text parsing method is set to 1-byte text parsing.
