HP L 5 manual Color raster images

Note	Foreground color interacts with color raster images. In the printer, all
	color raster is resolved into three binary raster planes of CMY.
	Foreground color is applied to these planes, modifying the color
	image. For no interaction, set foreground color to black when sending
	color raster images.

After a foreground color is selected, changing any of the following will not change foreground color until a new Foreground Color command (?*v#S) is issued:

•Active Palette

•Configure Image Data (CID) command

•Render Algorithm

•User Defined Dither Matrix

•Gamma Correction

•Color Lookup Tables

•Viewing Illuminant

As an exception, Monochrome Print Mode (?&b#M) immediately maps foreground color to its equivalent gray. Similarly, deselection of Monochrome Print Mode immediately returns foreground color to its color equivalent.
