(36-56 is only used if the PCL date is located
in another file than APF3812/PCL)
If 7-16 is ‘*PATH’ a PCL file is looked for in
the (IFS) path in position 36-
Prints a PCL-file with the same
rotation as the paper rotation, i.e.
which edge is regarded as the
upper edge is of no importance.
If a distance is stated without a
leading sign the distance is
calculated relatively to the paper
edge. If a sign (+/-) is stated, the
distance will be calculated
according to the base line of the
current print line.
PCL-files can not be used on IBM
3812 and 3816 printers.

Executes an HP-macro.
The macro must be down loaded to
the printer prior to this command

Foreground color: B=black, W=white,

Background color: B=black, W=white,
U=unchanged, 1-7=HP raster
WARNING:
This command will change the ink of any text
being printed after this command has been
issued.
Print sequence considerations:
The sequence of printing command lines
versus normal text lines and constants in the
overlay cannot be predicted. Only a sequence
of command lines in succession can be
guaranteed to be printed in the specified
sequence.
Changes the ink of any preceding
text being printed.
Example of valid use of &&INK:
&&INK B W
&&TXT ...
&&BLA ...
&&BLO ...
&&BLO...
&&INK W B
TIP:
To avoid any problems you shoudl
allways reset foreground ink to
black and the background ink to
white immediately after having
used any special ink in your
command lines.
