Enter HP-GL/2 Mode This command causes the printer to interpret subsequent commands as HP-GL/2 commands, instead of PCL printer language commands. ?%#B # = -1 - Stand-alone plotter mode (single context) 0 - Position pen at previous HP-GL/2 pen position 1 - Position pen at current PCL cursor position 2 - Use current PCL coordinate system and previous HP-GL/2 pen position 3 - Use PCL dot coordinate system and the current PCL CAP Default = 0 Range = 1 to 3 (unsupported negative values default to -1; all other unsupported values are ignored) As soon as the printer receives this command, it switches to HP-GL/2 mode, interpreting commands as HP-GL/2 commands until it receives an Enter PCL Mode, ?E, or UEL command, or until the printer power is switched off and on. The value field (#) determines the cursor position once HP-GL/2 mode is entered. Note HP Color LaserJet printers do not support ?%-1B, ?%2B, or ?%3B • -1 - A value field of -1 creates a "single context" or "stand-alone plotter" mode which has the following effects: z The current page is closed and printed and the HP-GL/2 environment is initialized (IN command). z HP-GL/2 output begins on a new page. z HP-GL/2 and PCL output cannot be combined on the same page. z No PCL commands except ?E, ?%#A, and the PJL command ?%-12345X are recognized by the printer. z The PCL picture presentation directives are ignored. 7-2 Color Vector Graphics (HP-GL/2) EN
