DEFAULT SETTINGS FOR THE HP-GL/2 ENVIRONMENT

     
     When you enter the HP-GL/2 environment for the first
     time, all settings are at their default. When you exit
     HP-GL/2 to send other PCL commands then re-enter HP-
     GL/2, most variables retain their previous values.
     However, the following changes in the PCL environment
     can affect the HP-GL/2 environment.
     

RESETTING THE PRINTER ( "ESC E", OR CONTROL PANEL RESET ):
     
     *    Executes an IN ( Initialize ) command
     *    Defaults the PCL Picture Frame size
     *    Defaults the PCL Picture Frame anchor point
     *    Defaults the HP-GL/2 Plot size
     *    Defaults the PCL logical page orientation
     

A PAGE SIZE, PAGE LENGTH, OR ORIENTATION COMMAND:
     
     *    Defaults the PCL Picture Frame anchor point
     *    Defaults the PCL Picture Frame
     *    Defaults the HP-GL/2 plot size
     *    Defaults P1 and P2 ( IP,IR )
     *    Resets the soft-clip window to the PCL Picture
          Frame boundaries ( IW )
     *    Clears the polygon buffer ( PM0, PM2 )
     *    Updates the cursor to the lower left corner of the
          picture frame ( P1 )
     

REDEFINING THE PCL PICTURE FRAME:
     
     *    Defaults P1 and P2 ( IP,IR )
     *    Resets the soft-clip window ( IW ) to the PCL
          Picture Frame boundaries.
     *    Clears the polygon buffer ( PM0, PM2 )
     *    Updates the current pen position to the lower-left
          corner of the picture frame ( P1)
     

SETTING THE PICTURE FRAME ANCHOR POINT:
