Note Since PCL printers print only at intersections, grid- centered pixel placement is implemented as shown on the right. Figure 5-6 Pixel Placement Variations There are two commands that modify the pixel placement function: the PCL Pixel Placement command (?*l#R) and the HP-GL/2 Pixel Placement command (PP). 5-26 The PCL Print Model EN
Pixel Placement Command Determines how pixels are rendered in images. ?*l # R # = 0 - Grid intersection 1 - Grid centered Default = 0 Range = 0, 1 (command is ignored for other values) Two models are used for rendering pixels when an image is placed on paper: Grid Intersection Model Grid Centered Model This command can be used multiple times per page. It has no effect except to switch the model being used for imaging. Note The PCL Pixel Placement command determines how pixels are placed for both PCL and HP-GL/2 operation. This command performs the same function as the HP-GL/2 PP command described in Chapter 7. EN The PCL Print Model 5-27
