3.3.Environments

3.3.1.Factory default environment

The factory default environment is the collection of printer settings programmed into the printer before it leaves the factory. You can restore the factory default environment using the printer’s control panel.

See the User's Guide to find how to reset the printer from the printer's control panel.

Some settings cannot be restored to the factory default environment with the RESET operation from the printer's control panel.

3.3.2.User default environment

The user default environment is a combination of factory default settings and settings which the user has made from the printer’s control panel or remote printer console. You can store user default setting(s) in the printer by using the printer control panel. You can restore the user default environment either by sending the reset escape sequence to the printer, EscE, or by performing a reset from the printer’s control panel. On some models, there are multiple User settings available, refer to your printer User Guide to see if your printer supports these.

3.3.3.Modified print environment

The modified print environment is made up of all the current printer settings. If you call a macro or go into HP- GL/2 graphics language the modified print environment settings are saved. When the macro has been executed, or when you quit HP-GL/2, these saved settings are restored. The modified print environment consists of settings for the following features:

Page length	Primary font characteristics	Raster graphics presentation mode
Page size	Secondary font characteristics HMI	Raster graphics left margin
Orientation	Primary font	Pattern ID
Left registration	Secondary font	Current pattern
Top registration	Font ID	Source transparency mode
Paper source	Character code Macro ID	Pattern transparency mode
Number of copies	VMI/Line spacing	Print direction
Margins	Horizontal rectangle size	Raster graphics compression mode
Perforation skip mode	Vertical rectangle size	Underline mode
Line termination mode	Area fill ID	Raster graphics height
End-of line wrap	Raster graphics resolution	Raster graphics width
Current font

3.3.4.Macro overlay environment

The macro overlay environment is a combination of the user default environment and the current modified print environment. The overlay environments settings take effect when a macro is enabled for automatic overlay. This is detailed in the section of this manual in which macros are described.
