HP created PCL to provide an efficient way for controlling printer features across many different printing devices. The format was originally developed for HP&rsquo;s dot matrix and Inkjet printers, but has been part of various thermal, matrix and page printers with the passage of time. The format underwent several different revisions, resulting in different versions where each version was enhanced to meet the demands of time with respect to the printer control features.
