Note z Pen- Specifies the pen number to which the new width applies. If the pen parameter is not specified, the printer applies the width to both pens. Specifying pen numbers other than 0 or 1 causes the printer to ignore the command. Pen width does not set the width of lines for drawing labels (unless the stroke weight value is set to 9999 [Stick/Arc fonts only]). The width of character lines is determined by the stroke weight attribute of the Alternate Font Definition (AD) or Standard Font Definition (SD) commands. A PW command remains in effect until another PW command or a WU command is executed. PW is not defaulted by the Default Values (DF) command. Table 22-14 Example: Using the PW Command ?E Reset the printer. ?%0B Enter HP-GL/2 mode. IN; Initialize HP-GL/2 mode. SP1; Select pen number 1.
