PCL5

PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language for printers developed by Hewlett-Packard. Versions 5, 5c and 5e were developed in the early 90’s of the 19th century and became a de facto industry standard. Nearly all page printers and multifunction machines support this protocol, also called “printer language”. Many BENS filters and plugins can analyze and modify this kind of print data.
