CID Color Palettes

The Configure Image Data command, explained in detail in Chapter 2, creates a palette based upon the parameters in its data field. CID-created palettes are programmable: any entry can be reassigned a different color using PCL commands (?*v#A, ?*v#B, ?*v#C, ?*v*I) or HP-GL/2 commands (PC, NP). Default palettes vary by color space.
