If you import an image without fulfilling these two criteria, that is, the image is not page size independent
and you do not specify its horizontal and vertical plot sizes, the plot will be drawn actual size. Any part of
the plot that falls outside the effective window will not appear on the printed page.
Printing an image
When you have carried out any necessary preliminary steps that your particular application requires, as
described in the preceding sections, enter HP-GL/2 mode using the Esc%#B command and send the
sequence of HP-GL/2 commands to generate the image.
Entering HP-GL/2 mode
To enter graphics mode from PCL printer control language use the Esc%#B command. Set # to 0 if you
want the pen to start from the previous HP-GL/2 pen position. Set # to 1 if you want to the pen to start from
the current PCL cursor position. You must specify either one setting or the other.
Quitting HP-GL/2 mode
To quit graphics mode use the Esc%#A command. Set # to 0 if you want to place the cursor at the previous
PCL cursor position. This is also the default setting. Set # to 1 if you want to place the cursor at the current
HP-GL/2 pen position.
