This variable specifies the Number of Pens setting for HPGL jobs. This variable is provided to specify
the number of pens foe files which do not contain an NP command an yet use more than 8 pens. The
HPGL specification states that color rendering devices shall default to 8 pens. If the file uses more
than 8 pens, but fails to specify an NP command, the rendering device is to perform a modulo 8
operation on the requested pen number to select the pen to use.
5.1.6.2.22 HPGLMODE
When the controller determines that the language for the job is HPGL through the ENTER
LANGUAGE command, the PERSONALITY environment variable, or the auto format recognition
mechanism, this parameter is used to direct the interpreter to assume that the file is HPGL/1 or
HPGL2. It is important to realize that although one can specify HP758X, HP-GL/2, HPGL2, or HPGL in
either ENTER LANGUAGE or PERSONALITY, these values all map to the generic HPGL interpreter.
The HPGL interpreter will sometimes switch modes automatically if it determines without ambiguity
that the file is one type or the other, independent of the value of HPGLMODE. For example,
encountering a PS command will direct the interpreter to assume that the file is HPGL/2.
5.1.6.2.23 HPGLPALETTE
This string specifies the name of the palette which controls pens in the HPGL data format interpreter.
HPGLPALETTESOURCE determines how this palette is applied to interpreted jobs. The string has a
maximum of 32 characters in it, and the default value is "0".
5.1.6.2.24 HPGLPALETTESOURCE
This parameter sets the source of control for pens in HPGL files. Can be set to JOB so that after
initialization, the palette assigned by HPGLPALETTE is ignored. Otherwise, it may be set to
PRINTER so that the palette named by HPGLPALETTE determines the pen settings. The set of
possible values is {JOB, PRINTER}. The default value is JOB.
5.1.6.2.25 HPIGNOREPS
Setting the parameter to ON causes the HP-GL DFI to ignore the Page Size (PS) command. Setting
this to OFF uses the HPGL/2 Page Size (PS) command to determine the page size. The default value is
OFF.
5.1.6.2.26 HPROUNDLINEENDS
Setting the parameter to ON causes the HP-GL DFI to print lines with round ends and round joints.
Setting this to OFF uses the HPGL/2 Line Attributes (LA) command to define the line type. The
default value is OFF.
5.1.6.2.27 HPTERMAF
This specifies a termination condition for a HPGL file. With this parameter, the user can direct the
controller to terminate file processing when an AF command is received if the value of this parameter is
ON. If this parameter's value is OFF, then this parameter is irrelevant to determining the end of file
condition. The default value is ON.
