HP-GL/2 options

This chapter describes the setting of printing parameters generally used with vector-
based files, including palette selection, printer control, rotation, reprints, nesting, ink
reduction and ink limiting.
KODAK's implementation of HP-GL/2 supports vector/raster merge and conforms to
"The HP-GL/2 and HP RTL Reference Guide, Third Edition" by Hewlett-Packard
Company (Addison-Wesley, 1997, ISBN 0-201-31014-7). Please refer to this guide for
detail on HP-GL/2 commands.

Printing vector data

When printing vector data, you can control certain options from your software applica-
tion, or you can assign control to the printer and set its options. Whether you assign
control to the software (the default) or the printer depends on your personal preferences.
You might choose to override software control because the software is not providing the
features you want.
