HP-GL Color Encoding
The term “pen” in the HP-GL emulation refers to a logical pen (in
other words, the current pen position) rather than to a physical pen on
a plotter. A pen and a pen color are selected to draw images. This
emulation supports 8 pens and pen colors.
Since your QMS 1060 Print System is a monochrome (black and
white) printer, the pen colors are converted to shades of gray. The
default color mappings for the 8 pens are as follows:
» Note:
The default color for both pen 1 and pen 2 is black. However,
the pen width for these two pens is different. Pen 1 is 0.7 mm and pen
2 is 0.3 mm.
