The Magenta plane would use the Magenta plane from the previous
row as a seed plane.
44
The Yellow plane would use the Yellow plane from the previous
row as a seed plane.
If the printer is in 3-plane CMY mode and Esc * b 1 S is sent, then:
44
The Cyan plane would use the Yellow plane from the previous row as
a seed plane.
44
The Magenta plane would use the Cyan plane from the current row
as a seed plane.

as a seed plane.
