HP PCL Commands

10.14Raster Data Transfer

The Raster Transfer commands (Esc * b # V, Esc * b # W) define how many bytes will be interpreted as binary raster data

The Transfer Raster by Plane (Esc * b # V) command is used when the data is encoded by plane, as specified by the Simple Color (Esc * r # U) command. Transfer Raster by Plane is used to send each plane in the row except the last; Transfer Raster by Row (Esc * b # W) must be used to send the last plane and advance the row.

The Transfer Raster by Row (Esc * b # W) command moves CAP to the beginning of the next pixel row after the graphics data in the command is sent to the printer. The command is used for single-color devices, for the last plane in a multi-plane row, or for color raster transfer when the data is encoded by pixel.

Sends a plane of data to the printer and advances to the next plane, but not to the next row.

The number of planes per row is specified by the Simple Color (Esc * r # U) command (also known as Set Planes per Row). The first plane sent represents the least significant bit in the pixel.

Since Transfer Raster by Plane (Esc * b # V) does not advance the row, it cannot be used for the last plane or for single-plane rows. Only Transfer Raster by Row (Esc * b # W) can advance the row.

The amount of data sent varies from plane to plane and is independent of raster width. Planes whose data specifies a row shorter than the raster width are zero-filled. Empty planes can be sent by Esc * b 0 V.

800, 700 specifications

The HP 700 is a noteworthy addition to HP's lineup of enterprise-level printers, designed specifically to meet the demands of small to medium-sized businesses. With an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and high-quality printing, the HP 700 series has carved a niche for itself in the competitive printing market.

One of the standout features of the HP 700 is its impressive print speed, which can reach up to 40 pages per minute. This rapid output ensures that businesses can keep up with their demanding workloads without sacrificing quality. The printer also offers a fast first-page-out time, allowing users to access their prints more quickly, which is especially beneficial in busy office environments.

Connectivity is another important aspect of the HP 700 series. The printer supports multiple connectivity options, including USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, allowing for versatile integration into existing office networks. The inclusion of mobile printing capabilities enhances user experience; employees can print directly from their smartphones or tablets using HP's Mobile Print Solutions, making it easier to meet on-the-go printing needs.

The HP 700 is equipped with advanced security features, such as secure boot and firmware integrity checking, ensuring that sensitive documents remain protected against unauthorized access. Additionally, it includes features like PIN printing, which provides an extra layer of security by requiring users to enter a PIN before their documents are released for printing.

In terms of sustainability, the HP 700 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It employs HP’s EcoSmart Black Toner technology, which not only delivers exceptional print quality but also contributes to lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. The printer is also compatible with HP's Cartridge Recycling program, allowing businesses to responsibly dispose of used toner cartridges.

The print resolution of the HP 700 series is another strong selling point, offering up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. This high resolution ensures that text and images come out crisp and clear, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from professional documents to vibrant marketing materials.

In summary, the HP 700 series combines high-speed printing, versatile connectivity, robust security features, and energy efficiency, all while delivering exceptional print quality. These attributes make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their productivity and streamline their printing processes. Whether for day-to-day operations or specialized tasks, the HP 700 stands out as a reliable and efficient printing solution.
