More testing and now some success. I did not get things to work out
real well on the 895Cse printer, so I started using the 960c which
was what the user was likely to use anyway and used the following
codes and all works fine.
#Stcolor = <027 042 114 045 052 085>
#dfcolor = <027 042 118 053 050 083>
#Redcolor = <027 042 118 049 050 083>
#grncolor = <027 042 118 049 048 083>
#blkcolor= <027 042 118 049 052 083>
#blucolor = <027 042 118 054 083>
#yelcolor = <027 042 118 056 083>
#magcolor = <027 042 118 052 083>
#cyacolor = <027 042 118 050 083>
I would still like to understand more about this though. From
what I researched lately, having never been down this road, I
see where the StColor tells it to use the KCMY pallete. I can't
find any reference for the codes you present as:
dfcolor = <027 042 118 053 050 083>
I was wondering why you don't have to tell it to start and end
the Raster graphics. Does RBase use Raster as the default or ??
#start_raster = <027 042 114 048 065>
#end_raster = <027 042 114 067>
Just a thought or two.
Thanks to Troy, Dennis, Rich, Ron, Dan, and Frank for sure
