HP L 5 manual

This command can be used to de-select the active palette and select as the new active palette a palette created by the Palette Control command (?&p#C). For example, to copy the active palette to an ID of 44 and select the new palette to use or modify, send ?&p44i6c44S.

When a palette creation command is received such as Configure Image Data (?*v#W), Simple Color (?*r#U), or an HP-GL/2 IN, the created palette overwrites the active palette and is assigned the current palette select ID, which is unchanged.

A palette popped from the stack overwrites the active palette, and is assigned the current palette select ID, which is unchanged.

?E resets the palette select ID value to 0 and deletes all palettes in the palette stack and palette store, including the active palette which is replaced by a default PCL fixed black and white palette with a palette select ID value of 0.

Macros affect the palette select ID value as follows:

•Calling or Overlaying a macro—saves the ID value and a copy of the active palette. Upon macro exit, the restored palette again becomes the active palette with the restored ID. An existing palette with this ID is deleted.

•Executing a macro—does not save the ID value or the active palette; changes remain in effect.
