GL2 Menu
This menu lets you set the printer to emulate a plotter, allowing 
you to use software which requires a plotter for output. The 
LJ4GL2 mode is similar to the GL/2 mode supported in the HP 
LaserJet 4 mode. The GLlike mode emulates some of the HP-GL 
plotter commands and includes all the commands found in HP’s 
GL/2 mode, as well as two additional commands.
* Available only when GLlike is selected as the GL Mode.
Before you start printing in the GL/2 mode
You may need to change the following print options in your 
application, depending on your output needs. Check these 
settings to make sure they match the data you are trying to print.
