HP-GL/2 Printing

This printer supports printing using the original Canon SG Raster printer control language and printing using HP-GL/2 and HP RTL.

The printer automatically switches to the corresponding processing depending on whether SG Raster and HP-GL/2 or HP RTL job is received.

Note

• SG Raster is an abbreviation of Swift Graphic Raster.
• 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 or HP RTL output, specify HP-GL/2 or HP RTL in the plotter output printer language settings.

HP-GL/2 and HP RTL emulation related settings are configured from the printer operation panel. For further details, refer to "HP-GL/2 Settings."

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.
