Introduction
Scope of Document
This document describes special functions of PJL, PCL, and PostScript
that communicate between printer driver software and printer controller
firmware in the Dragon printing system. This document is composed of
three chapters. Chanter one describes the special PJL command, chapter
two describes the special PCL command, and chapter three describes the
PostScript special operator.
In the Dragon printer system, printer functionality is described as HP
LaserJet 4000 series emulation for PCL. So, these commands are based
on the command that is implemented in the machine.
However, some commands are modified and some new commands are
added to control some additional printer function and special printer
configuration of the Dragon printer system. This document describes the
detailed specification for these commands.

(5021-0380) in detail.
In the Dragon printing system, PJL is used for switching PDL, defining job
separation, selecting a printer finisher, and other purpose.
