HP LaserJet IIISi
Printer

Several new PCL features were added to the PCL 5
language with the release of the HP LaserJet IIISi printer.
These new features are summarized in Table 2-1 below.

HP LaserJet IIIP
Printer

Several new PCL features were added to the PCL 5
language with the release of the HP LaserJet IIIP printer.
These new features are summarized in Table 2-2. One new
feature listed here is adaptive compression (method 5) for
the Raster Compression Mode command. In addition to
compressing data for transmission, if certain rules are
followed (discussed below), the HP LaserJet IIIP printer
will store adaptive compressed data in compressed format
and only decompress it when required for printing. There
are certain requirements which must be met for this data to
be stored in compressed format. These requirements are
discussed following Table 2-2.
