HP (Hewlett-Packard) PCL 5 Printer User Manual


 
The following are not affected:
User-defined color patterns (format 1 download patterns)
HP-GL/2 marking primitives (HP-GL/2 uses “selected
pen”, but ignores foreground color)
Note Foreground color interacts with color raster images. In the
printer, all color raster is resolved into three binary raster
planes of CMY. Foreground color is applied to these planes,
modifying the color image. For no interaction, set
foreground color to black when sending color raster images.
After a foreground color is selected, changing any of the
following will not change foreground color until a new
Foreground Color command (?*v#S) is issued:
Active Palette
Configure Image Data (CID) command
Render Algorithm
User Defined Dither Matrix
Gamma Correction
Color Lookup Tables
Viewing Illuminant
As an exception, Monochrome Print Mode (?&b#M)
immediately maps foreground color to its equivalent gray.
Similarly, deselection of Monochrome Print Mode
immediately returns foreground color to its color equivalent.
