CHAPTER 3 "PCL5C" - 5
2.2.
Using PCL Color Mode - Set PCL Color Setting
Command
ESC*v#W (27)(42)(118)#(87) <1Bh><2Ah><76h>#<57h>
# = 6, 18
# stands for the number of bytes of data that follow this command.
This command sets the palette size and transformation between the entered value and device-specific value.
This command has two types of format,
short format
and
long format
. Here are the formats for the PCL color
setting.

Encoding mode
•
This value defines how to send the raster image data.
•
The value can be from 0 to 3 only, other values are ignored.

Send Index No by Plane *

Send Index No by Pixel

Send Direct Value by Plane
3
Send Direct Value by Pixel
* = default
Send Index No by Plane (= 0 default)
•
This mode assigns the Index No. to the Plane, then sends it.
•
The necessary number for the Plane is determined depending on the number of bits/index. 1 (one) plane
should be needed per 1 (one) bit/index. For instance, 4 planes are needed for 4 bits/index.
•
Bits/index must be 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
•
This mode sends the plane data except the last one using the
Send Raster Data by Plane
command
(
ESC*b#V
).
•
This mode also sends the last plane data using the
Send Raster Data
command (
ESC*b#W
).
