Pattern ID (Area Fill ID) Command

specific shading, cross-hatch, or user-defined pattern. (This
command is also used for rectangular area fill. Refer to Chapter 14,
PCL Rectangular Area Fill Graphics.)

other images, the pattern material is determined by the pattern ID
and the value of the Select Pattern command.

patterns and cross-hatched patterns, respectively.
