Raster Graphics Presentation Mode Command The Raster Graphics Presentation command specifies the orientation of the raster image on the logical page. ? * 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.
