HP PCL Graphics Commands 9-49
Default Values (DF)
This command returns the printer’s HPGL/2 settings to the factory default paremters. Use
the DF command to return the printer to a known state while maintaining the current
locations of P1 and P2 (unlike the IN command described next in this section). When you
use the DF command at the beginning of a command sequence, graphics parameters such
as character size, slant, or scaling are defaulted.
DF[ ; ]
The DF command resets the printer to the conditions listed in Table 9-36.
