Problem

Symptoms: The customer would like to print in transparency mode to the HP PaintJet XL. The customer does not want to manually change the printer to the transparency mode before printing transparencies. They would like the software to do this automatically. Solutions: The command to invoke the transparency (high intensity) mode is <27>"&k1W". The command must be sent to the printer before any text is sent. The best place to insert the command is in the Printer Command feature within WP. Press Format (Shift-F8), Other (4), Printer Functions (6), Printer Commands (2), Command (1) and type in <27>&k1W. This will place the code at the beginning of the document. Or the customer may wish to insert the code into the printer driver through the PTR program. The steps for this are as follows: 1. Enter the PTR program and retrieve the appropriate printer .ALL or .PRS file 2. Press Enter on the printer name 3. Highlight "Initialize and Reset" and press Enter. 4. Press the right arrow key to the Expression box 5. Type in the following codes: <27>"E"<27>"&k1W"<27>"&a1N"<27>"(10U" 6. Exit the PTR program and resave the modified printer file. If the .ALL file was modified, update the .PRS file within WP by pressing Print (Shift-F7), S (Select Printer), and Update (#7) Due to how this command is handled by the printer and the limitations of the PTR program there is not a real solution to have the code support in future releases of the printer drivers.
