The following two commands control “transparency”, whether or not white sections of an image block out black pixels that are already in place.

<ESC> ‘ n N

This selects the source transparency mode. whether white areas of the source image should be treated as transparent (and do not “white-out” black pixels they cover) or opaque (in which case they white-out black pixels).

Set n to Ofor the transparent mode and to 1 for the opaque mode.

<ESC> * ? O

This selects the pattern transparency mode, similarly to the above command, whether the current pattern should be treated as transparent or opaque. Set n to Ofor the transparent mode and to 1 for the opaque mode.

To specify a block five inches wide you could use a horizontal dimension of 1500dots (5 inches times 300 dots). That command would look like this:

<ESC> “C 1500A

To print that area with a 25 percent gray-scale pattern. the commands you send would be:

<ESC> *C25G <ESC> *C 2p

But to print an area filled with the horizontal bar pattern, the commands you send would be:

<ESC> *C 1G <ESC> *C 3P

(You could combine these commands as <ESC> *c lg 3P.)
