Default = 0 (no pattern)
Range = 0 - 32767 (values outside the range are ignored)
The value field (#) identifies the level of shading, the cross-hatch
pattern, or the user-defined pattern.
There are eight HP defined shading patterns defined within the PCL
language. To specify one of the eight shading patterns, use any value
within the value field range for the desired shade. For example, to
select the 56-80% shade (shown in Figure 14-1) use a value of 56,
or 80, or any value in between such as 73.
