The Vector Graphics Limits
The area on the page where a vector graphics image can be printed
is determined by the intersection of the following four boundaries:
z Hard-clip Limits
z Soft-clip Window
z PCL Logical Page
z PCL Picture Frame
The hard-clip limit refers to the boundaries resulting from the physical
limits of the printer (in PCL mode, this is referred to as the printable
area). The soft-clip limit refers to the area defined using the HP-GL/2
Input Window (IW) command. The intersection of all these areas is
the effective window. An HP-GL/2 graphic appears on the page only
if it falls within the effective window.

Note For more information on the PCL coordinate system and the PCL 5
printer’s printable limits, see Chapter 2.
