HP 5961-0509 manual Parameter Formats, LT6,1

If you omit the second parameter you must also omit the third parameter, as shown below:

LT6

The printer uses the most recently specified pattern length and mode. If you have not specified a length or mode since sending a Default Values (DF) or Initialize (IN) command, the printer uses the parameter’s defaults.

For example, if you send the following command (omitting the second parameter), the printer interprets the “1” as the second parameter:

LT6,1

Parameter Formats

You must give parameters in the format (type of units) required by each HP-GL/2 command. The required format is stated in the parameter table of each command’s description, and is described as follows.

1Integer—An integer from –1,073,741,823 (–2 30 +1) to 1,073,741,823 (230 – 1). The printer automatically rounds fractional parameters to the nearest integer within the range. Sending a number outside the parameter range may produce unexpected results.

2Clamped Integer—An integer from –32,768 (–2 15) to 32,767

(215 –1). The printer automatically rounds fractional parameters to the nearest integer. Sending a number outside this range does not cause an error, but the number is “clamped” to the limits of the range. For example, when parsing a clamped integer, the printer treats all numbers above 32,767 as 32,767.

Certain commands have parameters which are restricted to a smaller range. These ranges are listed in the parameter tables for each command. Sending a number outside the reduced parameter range may produce unexpected results.

3Real—A number with an integer portion from –1,073,741,823 (–230+1) to 1,073,741,823 (230 – 1). You are assured of at least 6 significant digits (including integer and fractional portion). You may omit the decimal point when no decimal fraction is specified. Sending a number outside the parameter range may produce unexpected results.
