The example of a generic escape sequence used is quite long only
to show the possible placement of codes. Many escape sequence
commands, including the ones you may use most often, are much
shorter. For example, the escape sequence command to change
from portrait orientation to landscape is as follows (note that there
is both a lowercase “l” (first) and a numeral “1” (second) in the
command):
<esc><&><l><1><O>
The command to change back to portrait is as follows (note that
there is a lowercase “l” in this command, and no numeral “1”) :
<esc><&><l><Ø><O>
Check your system and application program documentation before
attempting to send escape sequences to the printer. The procedure
may vary from system to system. In addition to those programs that
allow you to send HP LaserJet series II Emulation escape
sequences, you may also send escape sequences using the BASIC
programming language, in which case, you would use the LPRINT
statement.

The following is a summary of the commands used with the
LaserJet series II. This summary is provided for those somewhat
