HP-GL/2 Printing
HP-GL/2 Printing
This printer supports printing using the original Canon GARO printer control language and printing using HP-GL/2
and HP RTL emulation to print in colors resembling the colors produced by printers from other companies.
The printer automatically switches to the corresponding processing depending on whether a GARO or HP-GL/2
and HP RTL emulation job is received.
Note
•
GARO is an abbreviation of Graphic Arts Language with Raster Operations.
•
HP-GL/2 is an abbreviation of Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language/2, and HP RTL is an abbreviation of Hewlett-
Packard Raster Transfer Language.
•
Emulation is good for obtaining results similar to printing on other printers.
When printing from applications that support HP-GL/2 output, specify HP-GL/2 in the application's plotter output
settings.
HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation related settings such as the printer to emulate are configured from the printer Con-
trol Panel. (Refer to "Menu Structure ➔P.410 " and "Menu Settings ➔P.416 ")
Note
•
For instructions on configuring these settings, refer to the software documentation.
It may not be possible to print jobs with excessively large amounts of data correctly.
