2.COLOR MODES

The PCL5C emulation provides a B/W mode, which is the default, and three color modes as follows;

1)Simple Color Mode

2)PCL Color Mode

3)HP-GL/2 Color Mode

Simple Color Mode allows you to use a maximum of 8 colors easily. PCL Color Mode allows you to use a maximum of 16,000,000 colors logically. HP-GL/2 Mode allows you to use vector graphics in color.

It is possible to switch between these modes in a single page, which enables you to use each of them for your purpose.

When handling colors in those modes, use palette. For details on palette, refer to Section 3 ‘Color Palettes’ of this chapter.

This section describes the details about each color mode.
