Description

When the monochrome paper type command (00) is set, this command is recognized and retained but has no effect. The monochrome paper selection (usually black) controls the output.

When two-color paper is loaded and the two-color paper type command set, this command will designate which of the two colors will be used for everything not specified as having (an) explicit color parameter(s) such as color logos, side bars, surround graphics, background watermarks or color raster graphics.

Exception

After a power loss or reset the default value m=0 is reset.
