HP 5961-0509 manual Temporary / Permanent Macros, HP-GL/2 Context

The overlay environment consists of the current settings for the following features with the remainder of the environmental features set to their user default values:

	Table 12-2
	PCL CONTEXT:
	Page length	Paper source
	Page size	Number of copies
	Orientation	Cursor position stack
	Registration
	HP-GL/2 CONTEXT:
	Current Pen Position	Scaling Points
	Hard Clip Limits	Soft Clip Window
	Logical Page Boundaries	Fill Attributes
	Line Attributes
	Refer to Chapter 3 for descriptions of environments.
Note	The current active position (CAP, or cursor position) is not part of
	the modified print environment. Therefore, the cursor position is not

saved when a macro is called, nor is it restored upon completion. The Push/Pop Cursor Position command can be used to save and recall a cursor position.

Temporary / Permanent Macros

During its definition, a macro is automatically designated as temporary. A temporary macro is deleted from user memory during a printer reset. A macro can be designated as permanent to prevent the printer from deleting it during a printer reset. A macro is designated as temporary or permanent by reference to its ID number, using the Macro Control command described later in this chapter.

Note	Temporary and permanent macros are removed from user memory
	whenever the printer’s power is turned off.
