10.13.7 Source Raster Width
Specifies the width in pixels of the raster area.
Raster width extends from the left graphics margin to one of the following:
44
The distance specified by the Source Raster Width (Esc * t # H) command.
44
The right edge of the logical page, if the specified width would extend outside the printable
area.
44
The right edge of the printable area, if width is not specified.
HP DeskJet printers always clip at the right edge of the printable area.
The left graphics margin is set to one of the following:
44
CAP (explicit Start Raster).
44
Left edge of the logical page (explicit or implicit Start Raster).
The printer clips data that would extend outside the specified width. If width is not specified,
the printer clips at the right edge of the printable area. If a width greater than the printable area
is specified, the printer clips at the right edge of the logical page.
The printer zero-fills rows not specified for the full width. These zero-filled portions of a row
map to either white or transparent, depending on the media type currently selected (Esc * v #
N).
On color devices, a zero-fill is not necessarily white. For example RGB data set to zero
prints as black on a HP DeskJet printer. Undefined graphics space would therefore print
as black.
