CID — Configure color-Image Data
Format
CID color-space, encoding;
Parameters
color-space:
0 = Device-dependent RGB (Default)
1 = Device-dependent CMY
2 = Void
3 = CIE L*a*b
encoding:
Pixel encoding
1 = Indexed by Pixel (Default)
3 = Direct by Pixel
Function
The CID command creates a new color palette using the ID which is assigned to the
currently active palette. Note that the currently active palette is deleted by this command.
It is possible to add and change colors on this palette. However, the currently active
colors do not change even though a new palette is created with this command.
The same colors as simple colors are defined for index numbers 0 through 7 when the
RGB color space is specified. The color assignments for these indices can be changed
using the ACLI command.
Indexed by Pixel encoding assigns colors onto the palette. This is used for rendering text
and vector objects. Direct by Pixel encoding assigns colors directly to pixels. This is
used for bitmap images.
Changing a color palette does not affect color print quality on output pages.
