This image extension (*COLOR)
makes it possible to insert color
BMP or JPEG images in PDF and
PCL output. This is ignored when
specifying COLORSUPP(*NO)
when you merge into pdf files.
For PCL output you need to use
either the HP4500, HP4500D or
HP5C printer type.
JPEG images can be inserted in
PDF and PCL output and they
need to be formatted for 16 mill.
colors.
Please notice that printing PCL
with JPEG images via this function
includes a conversion into bmp
which takes a while - so use this
function for smaller images only.

If you state H or W in position 29 (for resolution), then you state the size (height or width) in
positions 30-34. The size is written as inches and pels with preceding zeroes: 2 digits for the
inches and 3 for the pels. If you state either H or W in position 29, the image will be resized to
fit the size and the other dimension (height or width) will be resized, so the ratio between width
and height is kept.
If you leave position 29 blank, the horizontal and vertical sizes are written in positions 30-32
and 34-36 - also as inches and pels in the same manner.
� NOTE �
Note, that if you place two images at the exact same position, then only the first will be
printed. If you place a color image and then a black and white image at the same position, then
only the color image will be printed when merging with color support, and the black and white
image is printed for black and white output.
