•pen — specifies the number of the pen whose color is being defined. An out-of-range pen parameter sets error 3 and the command is ignored. (The range for the pen parameter is determined by the size of the current color palette.)

•primary1, primary2, primary3 — specifies the primary component values which are to be associated with that pen. See the CR command description for the range associated with the values. If a primary color is outside of the color range defined in the CR command, the value is clamped to the color range limits (the CR command is not supported by the

HP Color LaserJet 4500 or 8500 printers).
