page description language (PDL)

Definition

Job-specific programming language (such as postscript) used in converting the output of an application program into codes or signals a printer or plotter can understand. It instructs the printing device exactly how to handle text, graphics, and pictures in reproducing the page layout created by a computer user. The 'page' could be of any size, color, or resolution the printing device can handle. See also page layout program.
