Command Usage Table
The Command Usage Table provides a quick key for the application of the available command
options for each printer command. The column labeled "#Value" lists all options (also referred
to as command parameters) for the command being discussed. The group of columns labeled
with the model numbers of the HP DeskJet printers indicates which printers recognize each
command option. The column labeled "Effect" briefly describes what result the use of each
command option will have. The Command Usage Table is designed to let you quickly deter-
mine if a particular command and a selected command option will be recognized by your tar-
get printer, and what the effect of using that command and command option will be. The
detailed command description can be carefully studied to gain a thorough understanding of
the command once you determine if it is the one you want to use.

ticular printer model in the row for a command option, that printer will recognize the option. If
there is no check mark for a command option under a particular printer model number, that
printer will not recognize or respond to that command option. If a command is used with an
option the printer does not recognize, the results you obtain on your print media will be unpre-
dictable; your printed page may not appear as you expect.
