Raster Graphics Presentation Mode Command
The Raster Graphics Presentation command specifies the orientation
of the raster image on the logical page.
E
C
* r # F
# =0 - Raster image prints in orientation of logical page
3 - Raster image prints along the width of the physical
page
Default = 3
Range = 0, 3
A value of 0 indicates that a raster row ‘will be printed in the positive
X-direction of the PCL coordinate system. (The print direction
translates the PCL coordinate system.)
A value of 3 indicates that the raster graphics will be printed along
the width of the physical page, regardless of logical page orientation.
In portrait orientation, a raster row is printed in the positive X-direction
of the PCL coordinate system and a subsequent raster row is printed
beginning at the next dot row position in the positive Y-direction.
In landscape orientation, a raster row is printed in the positive
Y-direction of the PCL coordinate system and a subsequent raster
row is printed beginning at the next dot row position in the negative
X-direction. Figure 15-5 illustrates presentation mode 0 and 3.
