Background Command <Cycle> Algorithm
The <cycle> defines which images of the job are affected by the background. The <cycle>
is specified either via shorthand notation (cardinal, *, even, and odd) or via an algorithm.
The shorthand notation examples are described in “Printing Background Images” on page
59, and the algorithm examples are described in the following sections.
An algorithm is a “pattern” the printer uses to determine where to position a background.
The following syntax is used in the algorithm:
Default %%IncludeFeature: background (none * sheet)
Notes
If the background uses a scalable emulation, such as PostScript or HP-GL, it will
be automatically scaled to fit the page or sheet.

Note We recommend that the cycle algorithm be enclosed in parentheses.
