Selects the number of lines for the selected paper size and 
orientation. This also causes a line spacing (VMI) change, and the 
new VMI value is stored in the printer. This means that later 
changes in the Page Size or Orientation settings cause changes in 
the Form value, based on the stored VMI.

special ROM module installed to handle specific languages.
CR Function, LF Function
These functions are included for users of particular operating 
systems, such as UNIX.

selected, the commands are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 
5Si.
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.
 
						

							248Using the Control Panel
* 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.
If you need to configure the printer settings, first switch to the 
GL/2 emulation mode, then change the settings using the printer 
driver, or the control panel menus.

for in the Pen 0 through 6 item. The LJ4GL2 mode supports two 
pens (0 and 1), while the GLlike mode supports seven pens (0 
through 6).
End
