HP Color LaserJet 5 and 5M printers remap non-continuous tone
render algorithms (3 - 14) into continuous tone smooth (15) and
monochrome continuous tone smooth (17) algorithms.
# = 0-14 - See section 4, “Modifying Output Color” in the PCL
5 Color Technical Reference Manual for information on
algorithms 0 through 14.
