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.

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.

may be erased when you change the emulation mode.
GL Mode
Specifies whether the printer uses a direct emulation of the GL/2 
plotter language, or the HP LaserJet 4 emulation of GL/2.
Scale
Specifies whether the output from the software is scaled. The scale 
factor is based on the output paper size of the application.
Origin
Specifies whether the logical origin of the “plotter” is the corner 
or the center of the paper.

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).
