Notes

The order in which data (patterns/rules, text, raster) is received is the

 

order in which it is processed during the rasterization of the page.

The current pattern is not applied to a rectangular area unless specified by this command.

The fill or pattern used as the current pattern is selected using the Select Current Pattern (EC*v#T) command. For a detailed description of the Select Current Pattern command refer to Chapter 13, The PCL Print Model.

Black fill (value field 0), also known as black rule, and the white fill (value field of 1) “patterns” do not have a choice of different patterns, and thus do not require a pattern specification using the Pattern ID command.
