I don't know what you are wanting to do in PCL6 but no-one in the right
mind would try and write PCL6 to send to a printer. It's more of a GDI
than a human-readable printer control language that people are used to
with PostScript and PCL5. It's intended to be generated by a GUI. If you
have the choice, I'd advise you to stick to PCL5 or PostScript.

But if you REALLY want to try it, look here:

Which has a link to the technical reference manual.
