HP-GL/2 Palettes
Regardless of the color space, a default PCL palette is always
different than a default HP-GL/2 palette. The following table shows the
default palettes established in HP-GL/2. Like a default CID palette, a
default HP-GL/2 palette can be modified in either PCL or HP-GL/2
contexts using the following commands:
PCL
• Color Components 1, 2, and 3 (?*v#A, ?*v#B, ?*v#C)
• Assign Color Index (
?*v#I)
HP-GL/2
• Number of Pens (NP)
• Pen Color Assignment (PC)
• Set Relative Color Range (CR)
Note The IN command always establishes the 8-pen palette.
