Chapter 7. Color Vector Graphics (HP-GL/2)

This chapter discusses printing color pages using HP-GL/2, the vector graphics language included on all PCL 5 printers. The chapter describes new and/or modified HP-GL/2 commands and how they are used to print with HP color printers.

Appendix A. Color Printing Overview (Color LaserJet, 5, 5M, DeskJet)

Appendix A explains background information about printing color documents using PCL 5. Topics include palettes, device-dependent vs. device-independent color, color selection, pixel encoding, color modes, and color matching.

Appendix B. Using Color Modes (Color LaserJet, 5, 5M, DeskJet)

Appendix B defines the color modes for the HP Color LaserJet, Color LaserJet 5, 5M, and the DeskJet 1200C and 1600C printers, and describes how to use them. It includes descriptions of sending color raster data using different pixel encoding modes and color spaces.

Appendix C. Using Palettes (Color LaserJet, 5, 5M, DeskJet)

Appendix C describes the use of palettes for the HP Color LaserJet, 5, and 5M, and DeskJet 1200C and 1600C printers. It explains the palettes associated with the color modes and explains how palettes are created, saved, and modified.

Appendix D. Modifying Output Color (Color LaserJet, 5, 5M, DeskJet)

Appendix D describes how to modify output color for the HP Color LaserJet, Color LaserJet 5, 5M, and the DeskJet 1200C and 1600C printers. This chapter explains how color can be optimized by compensating for different conditions, such as variations in color due to light sources, limitations of the original artwork and variations in viewing monitors. The chapter details the use of halftone rendering algorithms, color lookup tables, gamma correction, and viewing illuminant commands. These commands are provided so that users can request and receive color output that matches their expectations.
