Changing the printer's language mode
|
Note:PCL5 is optional and must be authorized before you can use it; see
"Authorizing PCL5" for instructions.
In the factory default configuration, the printer expects to receive PostScript data on all ports. If you want to use an HP-GL application, you must explicitly set up a printer port to receive HP-GL data, or enable Adobe IntelliSelect automatic language selection. If you want to use a PCL5 application, you must enable automatic language selection on a port.
Changing the language of the printer between PostScript, HP-GL, and PCL5 is port-specific. The ports, such as parallel, serial, or LocalTalk, can each be configured differently. You can change the default language on any port so whenever the printer is turned on it expects to receive PostScript, or HP-GL, or PCL5 data on a specific port. If automatic language selection is enabled on a particular port, it becomes the default on that port, allowing you to send PostScript, HP-GL, and PCL5 files to that port.
Changes to the language on any port remain in effect even if the printer is turned off or reset.
Note:The following files affect printer operation. If the printer is shared
on a network, using these files may affect the prints requested
from other users.
Use the PSCRIPT.PS file to change a printer's port to accept only PostScript data. After you copy this file to a port, the printer expects PostScript files on that port. The port's language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer power cycles. To use, send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer.
Use the HPGL.PS file to change a printer's port to accept only HP-GL data. After you copy this file to a port, the printer expects HP-GL files on that port. The port's language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer power cycles. To use, send the HPGL.PS file to the printer.
Use the AIS.PS file to change a port to automatic language selection. After you copy this file to a port, the printer will accept monochrome PCL5 (if PCL5 is enabled, see "Authorizing PCL5"), or PostScript, or HP-GL files on that port. The port's language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer power cycles. To use, send the AIS.PS file to the printer.
- Copy the utility files from the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM, or use the files directly from the CD-ROM.
- Use one of the following methods to send a file to the printer:
