The PCL Print Model
Introduction
The Print Model feature allows images and characters to be filled with
color, with any of the printer's predefined shading or cross-hatch
patterns, or with a user-defined pattern. Images include any raster
graphic, such as one created with PCL raster graphics commands (as
described in Chapter 6, Raster Graphics); a rectangular fill area (as
described later in this chapter as PCL Rectangular Area Fill
Graphics); or characters selected from any font.
Figure 5-1 illustrates the use of the print model. The following
definitions are helpful in describing Print Model operation:
