HP PCL Graphics Commands 9-51
The IN command sets the printer to the same conditions as the default (DF) command, plus
the following:

raises the pen (PU)

returns the pen location to the lower-left corner of the PCL Picture Frame
(PA0,0)

cancels drawing rotation (RO)

sets P1 and P2 to the lower-left and upper-right corners, respectively, of the PCL
Picture Frame (IP).

sets pen width mode to metric; units are millimeters (WU)

sets the pen width to 0.35 mm (PW)

sets number of pens to 2 (black [1] and white [0]
Rotate Coordinate System (RO)
This command rotates the printer’s coordinate system relative to the default HPGL/2
coordinate system in the following increments of rotation: 90
o
, 180
o
, and 127
o
. Use the RO
command to orient your drawing vertically or horizontally, or to reverse the orientation.
RO angle [ ; ] or RO [ ; ]

The printer interprets the command parameters as follows:
No parameters - Defaults the orientation of the coordinate system to 0
o
. Equivalent to
(RO0). This is the same as the PCL’s current orientation.
Angle - Specifies the degree of rotation:
0: Sets the orientation to PCL’s current orientation
90: Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 90 degrees in a positive angle of rotation
from PCL’s current orientation.
180: Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 180 degrees in a positive angle of
rotation from PCL’s current orientation.
270: Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 270 degrees in a positive angle of
rotation from PCL’s current orientation.
