    2001/10/02 2. INTRODUCTION Some of the HL series printers can be used in HP-GL/2 graphics mode to produce vector graphics output using the commands of the HP-GL/2 graphics language or to print out existing HP-GL/2 format images. HP-GL/2 is a part of the PCL emulation, which includes graphics command

    graphics window is the same as the picture frame but may be altered using the HP-GL/2 IW command. 3.4. Hard Clip Limits Hard clip limits are the physical restrictions which define where printed output can appear on a page. 3.5. Soft Clip Limits Soft clip limits are the user-defined restrictions

    2001/10/02 3.10. Absolute and Relative Plotting Drawing commands are of two distinct types: absolute commands, in which the coordinates specified are the absolute user or graphics coordinates and relative the fill commands. A number of different shading options are available. CHAPTER 4 HP-GL/2 - 8

Setting Up the Graphics Window Before entering HP-GL/2 mode you will probably want to set the dimensions and position of the PCL picture frame and hence the graphics window.
