EPSON GL/2 Mode

EPSON GL/2 mode features plotter commands. In this mode, you can
use your printer with plotter applications.
EPSON GL/2 mode is similar to the GL/2 mode included in HP
LaserJet 4L mode. This mode emulates some of the HP-GL
commands. It features all of the commands of the GL/2 mode in HP
emulation mode, plus two additional commands.
The table below shows the differences between these modes. For
more information on GL/2 commands in LJ4L emulation mode, see
