The text string is sent literally, except for a back slash (\). Use a back slash
followed by a three-digit number (taken from the ASCII table), for example,
\027, to specify binary (unprintable) characters such as the escape character.
\027 is interpreted and sent as a single character whose value is 27. The number
27 is the escape character. For example, \27%-12345X PJL ENTER LANGUAGE
= PostScript\10 sends an HP PJL command to a dual-language laser printer
before it's initialized and switches the printer into PostScript mode. The \027
sends an escape character and the \010 sends a line feed character. The
remainder of the text string is sent literally. It is best to use three decimal
digits for binary characters, so you'll need to add leading zeros as necessary.
Initialization strings should be used by advanced users only.
Pre-Initialization
Forces a plotter to emulate another plotter by sending a pre-initialization
ASCII text string to the plotter before it is initialized.
Use a back slash followed by a three-digit number (taken from the ASCII table),
for example, \027, to specify binary (unprintable) characters such as the escape
character.
Post-Initialization
Sets a device-specific option that is not supported elsewhere in the program.
Specify a post-initialization ASCII text string that is sent to the plotter after it
is initialized.
Use a back slash followed by a three-digit number (taken from the ASCII table),
for example, \027, to specify binary (unprintable) characters such as the escape
character.
Termination
Restores the printer to its original state after plotting. Specify a termination
ASCII text string that is sent to the plotter after plotting is complete.
Use a back slash followed by a three-digit number (taken from the ASCII table),
for example, \027, to specify binary (unprintable) characters such as the escape
character.
User-Defined Paper Sizes & Calibration Node
Attaches a PMP file to the PC3 file, calibrates the plotter, and adds, deletes,
revises, or filters custom paper sizes. You can also modify standard paper sizes.
This node accesses the Plotter Calibration and Custom Paper Size wizards. If
the plotter you are using has been calibrated, a Plotter Model Parameter (PMP)
file contains that calibration information. If the PMP file is not already attached
to the PC3 file you are editing, you must create that association so you can
