366 Functions of the Control Panel
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.
If you need to configure the printer settings, first switch to the 
GL/2 emulation mode, then change the settings using the printer 
driver, or the control panel menus.
Note:
Settings or data saved in the printer’s RAM (such as downloaded fonts) 
may be erased when you change the emulation mode.
GL Mode
Specifies whether the printer uses a direct emulation of the GL/2 
plotter language, or the HP LaserJet 4 emulation of GL/2.
Scale
Specifies whether the output from the software is scaled. The scale 
factor is based on the output paper size of the application.
Origin
Specifies whether the logical origin of the “plotter” is the corner 
or the center of the paper.
