The book which comes with the printer is the user's guide, not the tech
reference manual.  The UG contains (to my surprise) a complete *list* of
the general structure of the PCL commands, but it doesn't explain their
use or interpretation.  That data is in the Tech Reference manual, which
you can order from H-P directly.  The price is only slightly exhorbitant,
but at least the call is free.  Call WATS information to get the number.
