PCL 5 Commands No Longer Supported or Greatly Simplified • Driver Function Configuration - This command had five options for the HP Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet 5 printers: Lightness, Saturation, Scaling Algorithm, Select Color Treatment, and Download Color Map. Select Color Treatment is the only option supported on the HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer. The range of values has been reduced to two choices: Vivid (2) (no color adjustment) and Screen Match (6). • Raster Destination and Raster Width - four decimal places of precision were added to avoid rounding errors when converting to pixels. • Picture Frame Scaling Command - four decimal places of precision were added to avoid rounding errors. • Configure Image Data - This command had two major forms, the short form which selected default values for each of the color spaces specified, and the long form which allowed a complete specification of the parameters that characterize the color spaces. The long form of the command is not supported on this printer since the Luminance-Chrominance, CIE L*a*b*, and Colorimetric RGB (cRGB) color spaces are not supported. The supported color spaces are Standard RGB (sRGB), Device RGB, and Device CMY. The sRGB color space is selected using the same value as cRGB to enable files printed with the Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet 5 drivers to take advantage of the Color LaserJet 4500's use of sRGB for WYSIWYG color. Furthermore, the specification of white and black points for the Device RGB and CMY color spaces, and the HP-GL/2 Color Range command, is not supported. ENWW Printer-Specific Differences 2-115

Printer-Specific Differences 2-115
PCL 5 Commands No Longer Supported or Greatly
Simplified
Driver Function Configuration
— This command had five
options for the HP Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet 5
printers: Lightness, Saturation, Scaling Algorithm, Select Color
Treatment, and Download Color Map. Select Color Treatment
is the only option supported on the HP Color LaserJet 4500
printer. The range of values has been reduced to two choices:
Vivid (2) (no color adjustment) and Screen Match (6).
Raster Destination and Raster Width —
four decimal places
of precision were added to avoid rounding errors when
converting to pixels.
Picture Frame Scaling Command
— four decimal places of
precision were added to avoid rounding errors.
Configure Image Data
— This command had two major
forms, the short form which selected default values for each of
the color spaces specified, and the long form which allowed a
complete specification of the parameters that characterize the
color spaces. The long form of the command is not supported
on this printer since the Luminance-Chrominance, CIE L*a*b*,
and Colorimetric RGB (cRGB) color spaces are not supported.
The supported color spaces are Standard RGB (sRGB),
Device RGB, and Device CMY. The sRGB color space is
selected using the same value as cRGB to enable files printed
with the Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet 5 drivers to take
advantage of the Color LaserJet 4500's use of sRGB for
WYSIWYG color. Furthermore, the specification of white and
black points for the Device RGB and CMY color spaces, and
the HP-GL/2 Color Range command, is not supported.
