;
;  This file is intended to serve two purposes:
;
;  1) To provide a reference to the myriad of ESCAPE codes used in the
;     Hewlett Packard printer control language (PCL) for the various
;     models of HP Laser Printers.
;
;  2) As a data file for a series of utilities that operate on PCL files
;     to display the contents in an intelligable manner and provide some
;     filtering and editing capabilities. (Utilities are in the works!)
;
;  The primary source of information for this file has been the HP LaserJet
;  Series II Technical Reference Manual and other various sources such as the
;  file ESC_CODE.ARC by S. Noh (SYSOP Form Feed LaserJet BBS (210) 869-1327)
;  found on many bulletin boards.
;
;  The list as presented is sorted on Functional Area, then by Escape code
;  sequence.  You can easily adjust this by passing the file through the
;  DOS or other SORT utility of your choice.
;
;  To enable this document to stay up to date, I encourage anybody with
;  knowledge greater than mine to add any codes they know of to the list,
;  but to retain the format provided as this will be expected by the PCL
;  utilities when they are done. Where the availability on a printer model
;  is unknown, a ? appears in the availability column. For those codes
;  that have a user defined numeric field, the comment ends with "= #'.
;  This will cause the PCL display utility to fill in the value when
;  analyzing the PCL file.
;
;  The original file name that I have distributed is called PCL100.ARC. In
;  order to keep some track of the state of updates to the file I suggest
;  that if you upload it without any changes to another board, you retain
;  the same name,  if you contribute some additional information, add one
;  to the file name (i.e. PCL101.ARC).  A history section is provided at
;  the end of the file for you to record your name and any additional info
;  you think may be useful to others on this topic (optional). Just start
;  line with a semicolon (;) to indicate that it is a comment.
