HP (Hewlett-Packard) PCL 5 Printer User Manual


 
Select Current
Pattern Command
The Select Current Pattern command identifies the type of
pattern to be applied onto the destination.
? * v # T
# = 0 - Solid black or foreground color
1 - Solid white
2 - Shading pattern
3 - Cross-hatch pattern
4 - User-defined pattern
Default = 0
Range = 0 - 4 (values outside of range are
ignored)
This command selects which type of pattern is applied. For
values 2, 3, and 4, the desired shading level, cross-hatch
pattern, or user-defined pattern number is identified by the
Pattern ID command described earlier in this chapter.
Notes For selecting or changing the current pattern, the Select
Current Pattern (?*v#T) and the Pattern ID (?*c#G)
commands work together. Sending the current
pattern (Select Current Pattern command) alone does
not change the current pattern; the Pattern ID
must be sent first. However, when selecting solid
white (white rule) or solid black (black rule), only the
Select Current Pattern command is required.
Once a current pattern is selected, that pattern applies
to all images placed on the page until a new pattern is
selected.
