With operation modes 1 and 2, the SIMG command addresses the transparency of the 
source image only. For operation mode 1, the  white pixels of the source image do not 
overlay on the destination. For example, you cannot pattern a character. With operation 
mode 2, the SIMG command applies the white  pixels of the source image onto the desti-
nation directly. 
The following program example  illustrates use of the SIMG command. Try changing the 
value specified for  SIMG on line 3 and...

For example, construction of a filled and outlined shape such as that shown below 
requires that we draw the path and then fill it. However, filling the path also clears it, 
making it unavailable for stroking. 
Figure 2. 39.  A Path both Stroked and Filled   
By saving the graphics state prior to filling the path, it becomes possible to restore the 
path after it has been filled, thereby allowi ng it to be stroked without reconstructing it. 
The commands used for saving...

Macros
After you have gone to the trouble of creating (and debugging) a PRESCRIBE command 
sequence, it is inefficient to use it only on ce, but it is a nuisance to type the same 
sequence repeatedly. The solution is to make  the sequence into a macro. Then you can 
execute the entire sequence with a single  CALL command. The procedure for defining a 
macro command sequence is simple. 
Step 1:Assign a name to the sequence. Place  the name at the top of the sequence (ending 
with a semicolon)....

MCRO Command 
The MCRO command assigns a name to the sequence  of PRESCRIBE commands that 
follows, until the ENDM (END Macro)  command appears. Thereafter, the entire 
sequence of commands can be executed by  specifying the assigned name in a single 
CALL or AMCR (Automatic MaCRo) comman d. The MCRO command has the follow-
ing format. 
MCRO name [ dummy sign [, comment ]; 
The  name  of a macro can be any length but only the first four charact ers are recognized 
by the PRESCRIBE...

Figure 3. 1.  PRESCRIBE Macro Limitations 
Macro limitations are summarized as follows. 
Examples of Macros 
Example 1 
The following macro example draws a circle.  It first names the macro that issues the 
PRESCRIBE commands for drawing a ci rcle in the middle of a page. 
!R! MCRO CIR1; MZP 4, 5.5; CIR 1;
ENDM;
EXIT; 
When completed, this macro will draw a circle  after it has been sent to the printing sys-
tem. 
!R! CALL CIR1; EXIT; 
If you want circles of different sizes, y ou...

Example 2 
The next file presents a more ambitious project. It makes the graph-drawing commands 
in the preceding section into a pair of macros to draw multiple graphs. This file may help 
you to better understand the macro creating pr ocess. The DAM command in the first line 
is a safety precaution that clears a ny previous macros out of memory.

Fonts
This chapter covers font-related topics, including the printing system’s resident and 
option fonts, character sets, and usage of  font-selection and symbol creation commands. 
A font is a set of characters of a particular  design. The design is referred to as a typeface. 
Several characteristics identify a font. These  include the font type (bit map or scalable), 
symbol set, spacing, pitch, height, style, st roke weight, and typeface family. In selecting 
a font, the printing system s...

Resident Fonts 
The printing system provides one bitmap font and 136 scalable (outline) fonts as the res-
ident fonts. Also, fonts may be downloaded to the printing system’s memory from a 
computer or a memory card. These fonts are referred to as downloadable or soft fonts. 
The printing system accepts as many downloa dable fonts as user memory allows. 
When the HP LaserJet is the printing system’s  default emulation, the power-up (default) 
font is Courier. A different default font...
