Description | PCL (Printer Command Language) is a standard page description language, which was developed by Hewlett-Packard. Initially, it was used by inkjet printers, but later it evolved to suit other types of printers (matrix, thermal, etc.) Today, PCL is used with HP LaserJet-compatible printers. PCL files contain commands, which describe the graphic layout of the document being printed; then they are directed to HP printers, which decode them. Files are created with the help of a PLC driver. |
