Can anyone tell me how to insert a non-printing comment into a PCL file?

Thanks,

You could put it into a macro definition.
Immediately after have a macro delete command.

These are the macro comnands in PCL5.

Macro ID -- ESC &f#Y
# =Macro ID number
Default = 0
Range = 0 - 32767
This number is used in subsequent macro operations.
The factory default macro ID is 0.

MAcro definition, and use -- ESC &f#X
where # is a number
0 - Start macro definition (last ID specified)
1 - Stop macro definition
2 - Execute macro (last ID specified)
3 - Call macro (last ID specified)
4 - Enable macro for automatic overlay (last ID specified)
5 - Disable automatic overlay
6 - Delete all macros
7 - Delete all temporary macros
8 - Delete macro (last ID specified)
9 - Make macro temporary (last ID specified)
10 - Make macro permanent (last ID specified)
