Monochrome PCL5e (Printer Command Language), includes HP-GL2 (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language)
Changing the language of the printer between PostScript and Auto Select (monochrome PCL5 and HP-GL) is port-specific. The ports, such as the parallel port, 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 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 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: Use the following files if the printer is connected directly to your computer through the parallel port. If the printer is shared on a network, use the appropriate printer queues. Click on the following topics for more information:
