Hard Clip Area
In the HP-GL mode, the plottable area is determined in line with the paper size, apart 
from the printable area. This area is called the "hard clip area", and determines the 
maximum range of pen movement. Accordingly, images cannot be drawn outside the 
boundary of the hard clip area. This machine allows you to select a hard clip area from 
the following:
900-915 (Pen 
intersects)
(No. 0-No.15)
Set the process for when pens' lines intersect for 16 pens (No. 00 to 15). 
No. 00 denotes Item No. 900.
[0] (Default) : None
[1] : Intersect
[2] : Round
[3] : Cut
[None]
[Intersect]
[Round]
[Cut]
Note • [None] is suitable for drafts because it takes shortest processing 
time.
• If a symbol is set by symbol command, the link process is not 
executed. The symbol command is an HP-GL/2 command for 
specifying a symbol.
950-965 (Pen 
density)
(No. 0-No.15)
Sets the color of the 16 pens (No. 00 to 15). You can set the color from 0 
to 250% in 1% increments. The default value is [0] for No. 0, and [100] for 
the others. No. 00 denotes Item No. 950.
[0] - [255] : 0 to 250 (color)
Note • The relationship between the pen attributes and fonts are as follows:
