  • Page 48: Hp Laserjet 4Ml Printer

    HP LaserJet 4ML The HP LaserJet 4ML printer is similar to the HP LaserJet Printer 4L printer, however, the 4ML includes PostScript and a LocalTalk I/O for printing in the Macintosh environment. The HP LaserJet 4ML printer also includes some new PCL features: print model logical operation (ROP3) and pixel placement, as described on the following pages.

  • Page 49: Logical Operations

    Logical Operations With the introduction of the HP LaserJet 4ML printer the print model was expanded to include logical operations. The basic print model defines how a pattern, source image, and destination image are applied to each other using the print model’s transparent and opaque modes to produce a...
  • Page 50 Transparency modes are set by the Source Transparency (?*v#N) and Pattern Transparency (?*v#O) commands (refer to the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual). The print model allows logical operations, such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, to be performed on source, texture, and destination images.

  • Page 51: Logical Operations And Transparency Interactions

    Notes The Logical Operation command (?*l#O) provides 255 possible logical operations. All of these logic operations map directly to their ROP3 (raster operation) counterparts (see the Microsoft Document, Reference, Volume 2, Chapter 11, Binary and Ternary Raster Operation Codes). The logical operations were defined by Microsoft Windows for an RGB color space (a ‘‘1’’...
  • Page 52 The four basic interactions are: Case 1: Source and Pattern are opaque. Return ROP3 ( Dest, Src, Texture ). Case 2: Source is opaque, Pattern is transparent. Temporary_ROP3 = ROP3 ( Dest, Src, Texture ). Image_A = Temporary_ROP3, & Not Src. Image_B = Temporary_ROP3 &...

  • Page 53: Logical Operation Command

    TDSoxn, the logical function of NOT (texture XOR (source OR destination)) Notes This command is the PCL Version of the HP-GL/2 MC command. This command sets the ROP value which affects not only PCL operation but also the HP-GL/2 ROP value.
  • Page 54 Example: The Logical Operation default value is 252 (TSo), corresponding to a logical function of: (texture | source) The result is computed below for both case 1 (source and pattern opaque) and case 4 (source and pattern transparent) on the previous page. Note that the ROP3 value of 252 results only with case 1, when both source and pattern transparency modes are set to opaque.
  • Page 55 Table of Logical Operations Table 2-6, Logical Operations (ROP3), shows the mapping between input values and their logical operations.

    This command can be invoked multiple times during a page. It has no effect except to switch the model being used for imaging. Note The PCL Pixel Placement command determines how pixels are placed for both PCL and HP-GL/2 operation. Printer-Specific Differences 2-25...
  • Page 62 The example shown in Figure 2-1 illustrates the concepts of the two models. Assume a rectangle extends from coordinate position (1,1) to position (3,4). As shown below, each model produces a different result. (Since PCL printers print only at intersections, grid centered pixel placement is implemented as shown on the right.) Figure 2-1.
  • Page 63 Placement Variations PCL and HP-GL/2 (see following pages for HP-GL/2 pixel placement command description) provide two pixel placement modes: grid intersection (the default) and grid centered. Grid intersection places pixels on the intersections of the grid (see Figure 2-2). Grid centered places pixels in the center of the grid.

  • Page 64: Pixel Placement Command (Hp-Gl/2)

    (see Figure 2-1). The command is the HP-GL/2 version of the PCL Pixel Placement command. Whatever mode is selected, using the HP-GL/2 PP command also applies to PCL operation.

    60; however, MC1,-60; or MC1,300; set the ROP to the default value (252). Notes This command is the HP-GL/2 version of the PCL Logical Operation command. This command sets a ROP value which affects not only HP-GL/2 operation but also the PCL ROP value.
  • Page 66 Note When using the MC command, some pattern types will not produce the expected ROP result. This only occurs when using the FT (Fill Type) command pattern types 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the ROP includes an XOR operation. (This problem is due to the fact that these patterns are the result of a vector operation and do not produce raster data for use by a ROP operation.) All other Fill Type command patterns...

    HP LaserJet 4P The HP LaserJet 4P printer is the follow-on to the HP and 4MP Printers LaserJet IIIP printer. The HP LaserJet 4MP printer is the multi-platform (PostScript) version of the 4P printer. PCL operation and the internal fonts in these two printers are identical to that of the HP LaserJet 4ML printer.

  • Page 68: Hp Laserjet 4Pj Printer

    HP LaserJet 4P printer designed specifically for the Japanese market. The enhanced PCL 5 printer language in this printer includes all of the PCL 5 features of the HP LaserJet 4P, plus special features which specifically support the Asian printing market. These features include large font support, support for vertical printing, and the ESC/P printer language.

    method can be used for parsing characters in the Shift-JIS encoding specification. If the value field is 38, character codes in the range 0x80-0xFF are processed as the first byte of a two-byte character. The following byte is processed as the second byte of the two-byte character.

  • Page 71: Font Header Format 16

    The Font Header Command, described beginning on page 11-6 of the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual, has several different header formats. The support of large fonts adds Font Header Format 16 (Universal Font Header).

  • Page 72: New Font Format Header Segments

  • Page 74 Data Segment Size The Data Segment Size indicates the number of bytes in the immediately following Data Segment. The size of this field is 4 bytes for Font Format 16 fonts, and 2 bytes for Font Format 15 fonts. The rest of the data segments are identical for both font formats.
  • Page 75 Default Galley Character (UI). Character code of the character to be printed when a specified character is not within any of the defined regions. Number of Regions (UI). Number of regions for which galley characters are defined. Regions are defined for a table in which the first character code byte specifies the row and the second byte specifies the column.
  • Page 76 exist, some glyph data will be output. For double-byte characters, the glyph of the default character defined for the given TrueType font is used. For single-byte characters, the glyph at 0xA5 (small dot, U+FF65) is used.” The following table shows a Galley Character Segment which follows the Japanese Windows specification.
  • Page 77 Vertical Substitution Segment The Vertical Substitution Segment contains pairs of glyph IDs. Each pair specifies the horizontal and vertical glyph ID for a character. The segment can be built directly from a TrueType mort table which contains a vertical substitution array.
  • Page 78 If the value pairs are not sorted by horizontal glyph ID, the data segment is invalid. If the End of Table mark #1 is not 0xFFFF, the data segment is invalid. The location of the end of the table is determined using the Data Segment Size field.
  • Page 79 The Typeface String Segment will be invalid if the Data Segment Size declared in the Data Segment Size field is larger or smaller than required for substitute string length, or if the Data Segment Size is an odd number of bytes. If the segment is invalid, the font download will be ignored.

    LaserJet printers. Output from pre-LaserJet 4PJ PCL drivers (for example, a HP LaserJet 4P driver) will only print correctly on the HP LaserJet 4PJ printer if the default PCL symbol set is set to a value other than the Japanese Windows 3.1 (Win3.1J) symbol set.
  • Page 86 The second example given here initializes a PCL 5 print job for printing Japanese text. The major differences from the previous example are that it specifies A4 paper, initializes the text parsing method to Shift-JIS, selects Win3.1J as the primary symbol set, selects MS-Mincho as the primary font.
  • Page 87 In the MS-Mincho and MS-Gothic fonts provided in the HP LaserJet 4PJ, font metric calculation is somewhat easier than for the Latin-based fonts.
