Monochrome HP-GL/2

Allows your printer to emulate a monochrome or color plotter.

Menu

Administration/Emulations/PCL 5/Monochrome GL/2

 

 

Choices

Off—Emulate a color plotter (8 pens). Since a monochrome

 

print system has only 2 pen colors (black and white),

 

grayscale patterns are substituted for other colors.

 

On—Emulate a monochrome plotter (2 pens).

 

 

Default

On

 

 

Notes

When set to off, this option maps pen colors as follows:

 

Pen 0=White, Pen 1=Black, Pen 2=Red, Pen 3=Green, Pen

 

4=Yellow, Pen 5=Blue, Pen 6=Magenta, Pen 7=Cyan.

 

When set to on, this option tells the printer to map each pen to

 

its assigned color, then convert the color to a grayscale using

 

the National Television System Committee (NTSC) color

 

standard for luminosity coefficients (Additive System):

 

Y = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B

 

Example of how to use the color standard formula:

 

WhiteY = [1*0.30) + (1*0.59) + (1*0.11)]—100% gray

 

BlackY = [0*0.30) + (0*0.59) + (0*0.11)]—0% gray

 

RedY = [1*0.30) + (0*0.59) + (0*0.11)]—30% gray

 

GreenY = [0*0.30) + (1*0.59) + (0*0.11)]—59% gray

 

YellowY = [1*0.30) + (1*0.59) + (0*0.11)]—89% gray

 

BlueY = [0*0.30) + (0*0.59) + (1*0.11)]—11% gray

 

MagentaY = [1*0.30) + (0*0.59) + (1*0.11)]—41% gray

 

CyanY = [0*0.30) + (1*0.59) + (1*0.11)]—70% gray
