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.

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