HP L 5 manual Rectangular Area Fills Rules

Rectangular Area Fills (Rules)

	Rectangular area fills are a special case of source images—the
	source transparency mode has no effect, since the printer treats the
	rectangular area as a solid “black” (all 1’s) source.
	Rectangular areas may be filled using patterns or textures. The
	current Pattern ID (?*c#G) selects the pattern, and the Fill
	Rectangular Area command (?*c#P) tiles an area whose
	dimensions are specified by the Vertical and Horizontal Rectangle
	size commands (?*c#A, ?*c#B, ?*c#H, ?*c#V). The rectangular
	area does not exist and cannot be printed until the Fill Rectangular
	Area command (?*c#P) has been issued, even though the
	rectangular area has been specified.
	Filling a rectangular area does not change the current active cursor
	position (CAP). The filled rectangular area is not affected by
	end-of-line wrap, perforation skip mode, or margins. A rectangular
	area may extend beyond the margins, but it will be clipped to the
	printable area of the logical page. Rectangular areas are not affected
	by graphics resolution (?*t#R).
	Except for the absence of white pixels in the source, pattern
	transparency operates the same way for rectangular area fills as for
	other sources. The non-white pixels of the pattern are poured through
	the entire rectangular area onto the destination. The white bits of the
	pattern are either applied or ignored, based on the pattern
	transparency mode. If foreground color is used, it is applied to the
	non-white bits of the pattern prior to pouring (except for user-defined
	color patterns).
	The Pixel Placement command (?*l#R) affects rules.
Note
	The commands used to print rectangular area fills are described
	beginning on the next page.
