CHANGING RADII AND LINE TYPES IN CIRCLES

     
     The Line Type command specifies a line pattern to be
     used when drawing lines. You can specify the line type,
     pattern length and the mode. The line type specifies a
     particular pattern, the pattern length specifies the
     length of one complete line pattern, and mode specifies
     how the values of the pattern length parameter are
     interpreted.  For more information see the PCL 5
     Printer Language Technical Reference Manual.

     EcE                           Resets the printer.
     
     Ec%0B                         Enters HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     IN;                           Initializes HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     SP1;                          Selects pen number 1
                                   (black). Even though
                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.
     
     SC-75,75,-75,75,1;            Sets up user scaling with
                                   (-75,-75) as P1 and
                                   (75.75) as P2; the "1"
                                   parameter specifies
                                   isotropic scaling.
     
     PA0,0;                        Specifies absolute
                                   plotting and moves to
                                   user-unit location (0,0).
     
     LT;CI5;                       Specifies a default line
                                   type (solid) and draws a
                                   circle with a radius of 5
                                   user-units.
     
     LT0;CI-12;                    Selects line type 0
                                   (dotted) and draws a
                                   circle with a radius of
                                   12 user-units (the -sign
                                   indicates starting at the
                                   180 degree point).
     
     LT1;CI19;LT2;CI-26;           Selects line type 1, and
                                   draws a circle with a
                                   radius of 19 user-units.
                                   then selects line type 2
                                   and draws a circle with a
                                   radius of 26 user-units.
     
     LT3;CI33;LT4;CI-40;           Selects line type 3,
                                   draws a circle with a
                                   radius of 33 user-units,
                                   then selects line type 4
                                   and draws a circle with a
                                   radius of 40 user-units.
     
     LT5;CI47;LT6;CI54;            Draws the outer two
                                   circles; the first with
                                   line type of 5 and radius
                                   of 47 user-units; the
                                   second with line type of
                                   6 and a radius of 54 user-
                                   units.
     
     Ec%0A                         Enters PCL mode.
     
     EcE                           Sends a reset to end the
                                   job and eject the page.
