Color Commands
The DeskJet 1200C is a 300-dpi LaserJet-compatible
thermal inkjet color printer. It uses PCL 5 and is very
compatible with the LaserJet 4 family of printers. The main
differences between the DeskJet 1200C and the LaserJet 4
printer are summarized in the table below (for a complete
listing, see Table 1-1).
Status
Modified Three additional parameters (-1, 2, 3) have been added to
provide support for Standalone HP-GL/2 Mode (?%-1B), for
using the current PCL coordinate system/previous HP-GL/2
pen position (?%2B), and for using the current PCL
coordinate system/current PCL CAP (?%3B).
New Sets the print mode required for printing on various media
types.
New Determines the graphics print quality.
New Specifies whether negative motion will be used.
New/Modified Several commands are added for raster scaling: Destination
Raster Width (?*t#H), Destination Raster Height (?*t#V),
Scale Algorithm (?*t#K); also, two parameters are added to
the Start Raster Graphics command to initiate scaling
(?*r2A and ?*r3A). (See the PCL 5 Color Technical
Reference Manual for more information.)
New See Table 1-1 for a complete list of color commands
supported by the printer. See the PCL 5 Color Technical
Reference Manual for descriptions of the color commands.
