Changing Pen Widths and Colors Using the Internal
Palettes

The “pens” discussed throughout this chapter are the “conceptual” pens in a
software palette, rather than the printer's physical printheads.

These settings have no effect on PostScript files.

The printer has three pen palettes:

■ Factory
■ Palette A
■ Palette B.

The factory palette cannot be changed. You can, however, change the line width and
color settings for each pen in the remaining two palettes (palette A and palette B).
Initially, all three palettes are identical. Each palette has 16 pens which can include
pens of different widths and any combination of the printer's predefined 256 colors.
