HP 5961-0509 manual Windowing Setting Up Soft-Clip Limits, Four Types of Line Segments

Windowing: Setting Up Soft-Clip Limits

Soft-clip limits temporarily restrict pen movement to a rectangular area, or window. When you initialize or set the printer to default conditions, the soft-clip limits are the same as the PCL Picture Frame limits.

To create a window, you use the Input Window (IW) command.

The printer does not draw outside the window.

The following illustration shows the four types of line segments you can specify from one point to another.

Table 19-6 The Four Types of Line Segments

Type	From Last Point	To New Point
1	Inside window area	Inside window area
2	Inside window area	Outside window area
3	Outside window area	Inside window area
4	Outside window area	Outside window area
