200 Functions of the Control Panel
GL2 Menu
This menu lets you set the printer to emulate a plotter, allowing
you to use software which requires a plotter for output. The
LJ4GL2 mode is similar to the GL/2 mode supported in the HP
LaserJet 4 mode. The GLlike mode emulates some of the HP-GL
plotter commands and includes all the commands found in HP’s
GL/2 mode, as well as two additional commands.
* Available only when GLlike is selected as the GL Mode.
Before you start printing in the GL/2 mode
You may need to change the following print options in your
application, depending on your output needs. Check these
settings to make sure they match the data you are trying to print.
