PCL P rinter C ontrol L anguage. The command language for the HP
LaserJet printers. It has become a de facto standard used in many
printers and typesetters. PCL Level 5, introduced with the LaserJet III
in 1990, also supports Compugraphic's Intellifont scalable fonts.
Starting with the LaserJet 5 in 1996, PCL Level 6 streamlines the
graphics and font commands, reducing the amount of information that
has to be sent to the printer.
Peer to peer A network architecture in which nodes communicate directly with
other nodes, as opposed to client/server architecture.
PostScript A page description language (PDL) from Adobe used extensively on
all computer platforms. It is the de facto standard in commercial
typesetting and printing houses, many of which require PostScript files
as electronic input.
Printer driver Software installed on the client workstation that enables printing to a
device. The Imagistics printer drivers are on the

CD-ROM . They permit printing to the controller.
Printer Sticky The paradigm where actions and/or settings are permanently saved
so that they are accessible later. For example, a change is made to
the printer settings for a single document and all applications are
aware of the change. See also, Document Sticky.
Printing mode Defines the way the print job is processed by the controller: as a
normal job, private print job, proof print job, or scheduled print job.
Print profile A set of user-defined properties that are saved locally so that complex
documents can be configured quickly and easily.
Private folder A folder that belongs to a registered user. When you create a new
user account, Document Manager creates a private folder for you. You
must log on to Document Manager to view your private folder.
Private print A printing mode that allows you to send a job from your workstation,
and then hold it until you enter a private DIN from the copier to release
and print the job.

copy job and review it before releasing and printing the remaining
copies.
