HP (Hewlett-Packard) PCL 5 Printer User Manual


 
the cursor position is at the beginning of the next raster
row at the left raster graphics margin. At the end of each
row, the plane pointer in a multi-plane row is reset to 1.
Within the raster data, each bit describes a single dot.
Black-and-white printers interpret zeros as white; color
printers interpret zeros according to the current palette.
The most significant bit (bit 7 is the most significant, bit 0
is the least significant) of the first byte of data corresponds
to the first dot within the row. If a bit is set to 1, the
corresponding dot is printed. Each dot of the raster data is
expanded according to the specified raster resolution.
Raster graphics is independent of the text area and
perforation skip mode—these boundaries are ignored.
Raster graphic images, raster height, and raster width are
limited to the printable area; images that extend beyond
the printable area are clipped.
