HP L 5 manual ?*v#Wbinary data

PCL Imaging Mode

The PCL Imaging mode, entered using the Configure Image Data (CID) command (?*v#W), creates a variable-sized programmable palette. It provides halftoning in the printer, with multiple color spaces, pixel encoding modes, and reprogrammable palettes.

Configure Image Data (CID) Command

The CID command provides configuration information for creating palettes and transmitting raster data. The CID command performs the following:

•Designates the color space for the default palette

•Designates the size of the palette to be created

•Provides data for transforming color-space-specific values into device-specific values

•Provides data for transforming device-dependent data (monitor RGB) to device-independent (Colorimetric RGB)

•Designates the format of raster data and how primary components are combined to yield the raster representation

?*v#W[binary data]

#= Number of data bytes

Default	=	NA
Range	=	Short form: 6 bytes
		Long form: >6 bytes

Invalid configurations of the CID command are ignored and the data discarded. Any signs in the value field are ignored.

The data fields in this command must contain byte-aligned binary data, not ASCII data.

This command has two forms: the six-byte short form described below, and the long form consisting of these six bytes, plus additional information specific to the color space.
