What is the effect of the ModelLine parameter?

Hi -
So, I decided to try the sample HP-PCL driver directly on my printer, and it worked. I started playing around and found the following:
The following:
#include <font.defs>
#include <media.defs>
#include <raster.defs>
#include <pcl.h>
DriverType pcl
ModelNumber ($PCL_PAPER_SIZE $PCL_RASTER_END_COLOR $PCL_RASTER_CRD $PCL_PJL $PCL_PJL_PCL3GUI)
Font *
Manufacturer "HP"
Version "1.0"
HWMargins 18 12 18 12
*MediaSize Letter
ColorModel Gray k chunky 3
// Supported input slots
*InputSlot 7 "Auto/Automatic Selection"
InputSlot 2 "Manual/Tray 1 - Manual Feed"
InputSlot 4 "Upper/Tray 1"
InputSlot 1 "Lower/Tray 2"
InputSlot 5 "LargeCapacity/Tray 3"
// Supported resolutions
*Resolution - 8 0 0 0 "600dpi/600 DPI"
Throughput 10
ModelName "HP PhotoSmart Pro B8850"
PCFileName "hp-b8850-test.ppd"
does not work, but if I replace the ModelNumber line with:
ModelNumber ($PCL_PAPER_SIZE $PCL_RASTER_END_COLOR $PCL_RASTER_CRD $PCL_PJL)
it works fine.
Can anyone tell me how this line affects the software? I am going to compare the generated PPDs, but I am guessing just the model number will be different. Thanks!
