HP PCL Graphics Commands 9-23
If an HPGL/2 plot size is specified, the horizontal picture frame size is used to determine
the horizontal scaling factor used for scaling the image to fit in the picture frame.
Picture Frame Vertical Size (Decipoints)
ESC*C#Y
Decimal:
027 042 99 #..# 089
Hex:
1B 2A 63 #..# 59
# = vertical size in decipoints (1/720th inch)
Default = distance between the default top and bottom margins (the default text length)
Range = 0 tp 32767 (valid to 4 decimal places)
This PCL command specifies the vertical dimension of the window to be used for printing
an HPGL/2 plot.
NOTE:
The vertical dimension specified is
parallel to the PCL Y-axis when the print
direction is set to 0 degrees (the default).
HPGL/2 GRAPHICS
The IntelliBar provides the ability to print vector graphics using the HPGL/2 graphics
language. HPGL/2 graphics may be created within application software or imported from
existing applications. For various types of images, it is advantageous to use HPGL/2 vector
graphics instead of the raster graphics described previously in this section. The advantages
include faster I/O transfer of large images and smaller disk storage requirements.
Printing with HLGL/2 requires leaving the PCL printer language mode and entering
HPGL/2 mode. Switching between modes involves only a few commands, and software
applications may easily switch between the two modes as needed.
