The varioPRINT 6000 series supports PCL6, PCL5e and PCL5c as the PCL Page Description Language. PCL6 consist of the following subsets:
PCL6 Enhanced: formerly known as PCL XL 3.0 which is a object oriented PDL similar to PostScript that is optimised for graphical user interfaces (like Windows GDI) and compressed to optimise for throughput.
PCL6 Standard: equivalent to PCL5e intended to provide backwards compatibility.
The PCL6 command set is compatible with the HPLJ4600.
For the technical reference on PCL6, see PCL 5 and PCL-XL reference manuals below.
NOTE
Any limitations of PCL6 are described in this TRM.
PCL5e/5c is the PCL programming interface for the PRISMAsync Print Server. PCL5e/5c knows the following subsets:

Printer Job Language (PJL): this feature allows you to set different/partly processing features of PCL5.
