You always send the following Print Pattern command after a Specify Pattern command. This Print Pattern command identifies whether the area you have defined is to be filled with a rule, dotted gray-scale pattern, or linear pattern:

<ESC> *C n P

For n enter a value from the following table. (If you select a linear pattern here, but a dotted pattern in the previous Specify Pattern command, the printer will ignore this Print Pattern command.)

n Value

Pattern

O(zero)

solid black

1

solid (opaque) white

‘2

shaded fill (as selected with <ESC> *c n G)

3

cross-hatched fill (as selected with <ESC> *c n G)

5

current pattern fill (as selected with <ESC> *v n T)

If n = 5 has been selected, you will need the following command.

<ESC> * n T

This command selects the current pattern type to be applied to source images (not rectangular areas) before printing.

17Value

Pattern

O(zero)

Solid black

1

2

4

Currently defined cross-hatched pattern

Fern = 2 or 3, the pattern defined by the most recent <ESC> *cn G command is used. To change the pattern, a new <ESC> *c n G and a new <ESC> *V n T command are needed.
