CHAPTER 3 "PCL5C" - 12
4. COLOR GRAPHICS
4.1. Start Raster Transfer
Command
ESC*r#A (27)(42)(114)#(65) <1Bh><2Ah><72h>#<41h>
#
= 0 * Prints the image from the left edge of the logical page.
= 1 Prints the image from the current cursor position.
= 2 Executes scaling. Prints the image from the left edge of the logical page.
= 3 Executes scaling. Prints the images from the current cursor position.
* Default value = 0
• This command signals the start of the transfer of raster image data to the printer.
• The transfer of raster data to the printer continues until either an End Raster Transfer command is sent or a
command other than Send Raster Data, Set Compression Mode or Y-Offset is sent.
• The source width and height are set by the Set Raster Area Width (ESC*r#S) and Set Raster Area Height
(ESC*r#T) commands. When the # value is 2 or 3, the data with these source width/height values is
enlarged or reduced to the width and height set by the Set Destination Raster Width and Set Destination
Raster Height commands. (Refer to the following sections.)
4.2. Set Destination Raster Width
Command
ESC*t#H (27)(42)(116)#(72) <1Bh><2Ah><74h>#<48h>
Range = 0 ~ 32767 (number of decipoints in 1/720”)
Default value = 0
• If value 2 or 3 is sent with the Start Raster Transfer command and graphic scaling is set, this command sets
the destination width.
• Values outside the range are invalid.
• If the setting is 0 or is omitted, this command uses the same width as the source width.
• If the specified width is wider than the page, drawings are clipped by the right physical page boundary. The
scaling factor is dealt with correctly.
4.3. Set Destination Raster Height
Command
ESC*t#V (27)(42)(116)#(86) <1Bh><2Ah><70h>#<56h>
Range = 0 ~ 32767 (number of decipoints in 1/720”)
Default value = 0
• If value 2 or 3 is sent with the Start Raster Transfer command and graphic scaling is set, this command sets
the destination height.
• Values outside the range are invalid.
• If the setting is 0 or is omitted, this command uses the same height as the source height.
• If the specified height is longer than the page, drawings are clipped by the bottom of physical page boundary.
The scaling factor is dealt with correctly.
