Hewlett-Packard (HP) plotters can use color wheels of up to eight colors. Word printer drivers for color printers have support for up to six colors.

When an HPGL file formatted for eight colors is imported into Word, Word will map the eighth Hewlett-Packard color to the first real color in the printer driver.

The following are the pen assignments within Microsoft Word:
