HP L 5 manual Byte 4 Number of Bits for Primary #2, Byte 5 Number of Bits for Primary #3

A value of 0 defaults the black and white reference values for primary #1 according to the color space.

Byte 4 (Number of Bits for Primary #2)

This byte is ignored in pixel encoding modes 0 and 1, but affects the black and white references in device-dependent color spaces. In Device RGB, the black reference for primary #2 is set to 0, and the white reference is set to 2n – 1, where n is the number of bits for primary #2. These references are reversed in Device CMY color space.

•In pixel encoding mode 2, this byte is ignored except in Device RGB and Device CMY color spaces, where it designates the number of data bits needed to specify primary #2, as well as the number of data planes to be sent for primary #2.

•In pixel encoding mode 3, this byte designates the number of data bits needed to specify primary #2.

A value of 0 defaults the black and white reference values for primary #2 according to the color space.

Byte 5 (Number of Bits for Primary #3)

This byte is ignored in pixel encoding modes 0 and 1, but affects the black and white references in device-dependent color spaces. In Device RGB, the black reference for primary #3 is set to 0, and the white reference is set 2n – 1, where n is the number of bits for primary #3. These references are reversed in Device CMY space.

•In pixel encoding mode 2, this byte is ignored except in Device RGB and Device CMY color space, where it designates the number of data bits needed to specify primary #3, as well as the number of data planes to be sent for primary #3.

•In pixel encoding mode 3, this byte designates the number of data bits needed to specify primary #3.

A value of 0 defaults the black and white reference values for primary #3 according to the color space.
