1 =  Printing System remains in mode A even when the IP instruction includes a nega-
tive parameter value. 
Enhance Mode (bit 3) 
This bit supports the enhance mode of HP 7550A and HP 758X plotters. 
0 =  Normal mode (HP 7550A standard mode and HP 758X emulation mode). 
1 =  Enhance mode (HP 7550A enhance mode and HP 758X standard mode). 
The enhance mode should be turned on when the printing system uses the HP 758X 
mode. The enhance mode affects the KC-GL IW...

Line-width (in dots): 0 to 99 (0 - line not printed) 
Positions in the plot area can be defined as  plotter units or user units. These units are 
explained next. 
Note
Since the pen thickness is measured in the unit of  dot, printing an object in the 600-dpi res-
olution will result in the thickness of lines being half that expected in the 300-dpi resolu-
tion. To avoid this, switch the printing resolution to 300 dpi using  the FRPO N8 command 
or,...

Setting the Scaling Points 
At power-up, scaling point P1 will be in the lower left corner of the paper, the default 
plot position. Point  P2 is always diagonally opposite to P1. These two points define the 
diagonal of a rectangle, which by default is centered on the paper. P1 and P2 can be 
moved by an instruction which defines any rectangle, independent of the actual paper 
size. 
The default positions of the scaling points in modes A and B are listed at the...

Plotter Status Information 
When the RS-232C interface is used, in addition to receiving data, the plotter (printing 
system) can return information such as the current pen position, pen status, and error 
numbers. This return information applies to the following KC-GL instructions. 
All of these instructions use the same syntax and must be followed immediately by a ter-
minator. They use no parameters. 
The functions of these instructions...

OA [Output Actual position and pen status] 
The plotter returns the x- and y-coordinates of the current pen position and indicates 
whether the pen is currently up or down. This information is given by ASCII-coded inte-
gers in the following format: 
X, Y, P TERM 
X:  x-coordinate in absolute plotter units 
Y:  y-coordinate in absolute plotter units 
P:  0 if the pen is up; 1 if the pen is down 
OC [Output Commanded po sition and pen status] 
The plotter returns...

OI [Output Identification] 
This instruction returns a character string indicating the plotter model being emulated, as 
follows: 
OL [Output Label length] 
This instruction returns information on the cont ents of the label buffer. This may be used 
together with the BL instruction for accessi ng the necessary space for the buffered label 
before printing it. 
length, characters, linefeeds, TERM 
OO [Output Options]

OS [Output Status] 
This instruction returns an integer from 0 to 255 giving one byte of status information, as 
follows: status TERM 
The following table describes the individual bits in the status byte. After powered up or 
an IN instruction, bit positions 3 and 4 turn on making the bit value to be 24. Bit position 
3 is cleared subsequently after delivering the status. 
OT [Output carousel Type]

OW [Output Window] 
This instruction returns the x- and y-coordinates of two diagonally opposite corners of 
the current plottable area. Four  ASCII-coded integers indicating the lower left and upper 
right corner coordinates are returned by using the following format: 
X
LL, YLL, XUR, YUR, TERM 
LL: lower left 
UR: upper right

Fonts and Symbol Sets in KC-GL 
KC-GL uses a special stroke font. The fonts employed in the other emulations cannot be 
used in KC-GL. The default height and width of the stroke font vary depending on the 
paper size. The following character sets  are available for the KC-GL emulation.
25 The buffer is empty and the printing system is off-line. 
33 The buffer is full with the printing system under one of the following conditions: 
cover open, paper empty, or...
