About the Printer
The Hewlett-Packard® LineJet™ series consists of five fast, reliable line
matrix printers. The name of the printer indicates its speed rating and the type
of printer housing, as shown below.
LineJet printers use a flash memory architecture that permits rapid access to
stored printer emulations. A variable-speed shuttle, half-step paper control,
and system architecture contained on a single circuit board enable these
printers to print a wide variety of high-volume jobs with minimum maintenance
and maximum reliability.
LineJet printers are excellent graphics printers. Code V™ II and PGL® are
simple but versatile programming languages available as options for LineJet
printers. The Code V II
graphics language is a QMS® emulation. PGL is a
Printronix® IGP® emulation
Although technologically advanced, the LineJet printer is easy to use. The
operator can select every printer function at the control panel or by sending
printer control codes in the data stream from the host computer.
