6.3.4 Color-Plane Selection

The Planes Colors control contains four boxes which specify the commands
that render the color graphics output.


HP PaintJet

For the Hewlett-Packard PaintJet printer, the 1st Plane and 2nd Plane boxes
contain the Transfer Raster Data by Plane command (ESC*bnV) where n
specifies the number of bytes of raster data.

To specify the Transfer Raster Data by Plane command, type the following in
the 1st Plane and 2nd Plane controls:

    \x1B*b%dV

The 3rd Plane box contains the Transfer Raster Data by Row command
(ESC*bnW). This command differs from the previous command in that it moves
the current active position (CAP) to the next row of data.

To specify the Transfer Raster Data by Row command, type the following in
the 3rd Plane control:

    \x1B*b%dW

Because the PaintJet printer uses three-plane technology, the 4th Plane box
is empty.

NOTEÿIf the DC_PRIMARY_RGB bit is set in the fGeneral dialog box, the
Universal Printer Driver will use the device commands to send a color plane
of graphics data instead of sending block commands from the resolution
section when color is enabled.
