| Description | PCL (Printer Command Language) is a standard page description language, which was developed by Hewlett-Packard. Initially, it was used by inkjet printers, but later it evolved to suit other types of printers (matrix, thermal, etc.) Today, PCL is used with HP LaserJet-compatible printers. PCL files contain commands, which describe the graphic layout of the document being printed; then they are directed to HP printers, which decode them. Files are created with the help of a PLC driver. |

| Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |
