EN Logical Page Orientation Command 5-5
Logical Page Orientation Command
Orientation defines the position of the logical page and the default
direction of print with respect to the physical page as shown in
Figure 5-1.
? & l # O
# = 0 - Portrait
1 - Landscape
2 - Reverse Portrait
3 - Reverse Landscape
Default = 0
Range = 0-3 (Other values ignored)
Notes This command can be used only once per page. To print multiple
directions per page use the Print Direction command.
This command affects the HP-GL/2 environment (refer to Table 5-1
and the ***“HP-GL/2 and PCL Orientation Interaction” section in
Chapter 15 for additional information).
The Orientation command causes the page length, top margin, text
length, left and right margins, horizontal motion index (HMI), and
vertical motion index (VMI) to return to their user default values, and
disables the automatic macro overlay. All data received prior to this
command is printed, and a Form Feed and Carriage Return executed.
The cursor is moved to the left edge of the logical page at the top
margin cursor position (see Figure 5-5).
The factory default orientation is portrait. Landscape orientation may
be selected as the user default orientation using the control panel.
Note The HP LaserJet 2000, LaserJet IID, LaserJet IIP and all PCL 5
printers automatically rotate all fonts to the current orientation.
Table 5-1 shows how changing certain PCL features (such as a reset,
orientation, page size or page length) or changing the HP-GL/2
picture presentation directives (picture frame width or height,
horizontal or vertical plot size, or picture frame anchor point) affect the
HP-GL/2 state variables.
