HP L 5 guide

•Redefining the PCL Picture Frame size or setting the anchor point:

zDefaults P1 and P2 (IP, IR commands)

zResets the soft-clip window (IW) to the PCL Picture Frame boundaries.

zClears the polygon buffer (PM0, PM2)

zUpdates the current pen position to the lower-left corner of the picture frame (P1).

•Setting an HP-GL/2 plot size:

zChanges the picture frame scaling factor.

•Redefining the palette:

zChanges colors selected by the Select Pen (SP) command and used in patterns defined by the Raster Fill Definition (RF) command and/or used by the Fill Type (FT) command.
