IW, Input Window

This command defines a rectangular area, or window, that establishes soft-clip limits. Subsequent HP-GL/2 drawing is restricted to this area. Use IW to restrict printing to a specified area on the page.

The printer interprets the command parameters as follows.

zNo Parameters — Resets the soft-clip limits to the PCL Picture Frame limits.

zX,Y Coordinates — Specify the opposite, diagonal corners of the window area, usually the lower-left (LL) and upper-right (UR) corners. Coordinates are interpreted in the current units: as user-units when scaling is on; as plotter units when scaling is off.

When scaling is on, subsequent changes to P1 and P2 move the window in relation to the physical page, but keep the same user coordinate locations. However, sending a subsequent SC command binds the window to its equivalent plotter units. The window does not change with any subsequent IP or IR commands.
