Phaser 360


Changing the printer's language mode
The Phaser 360 printer supports the following printer languages:

See Printer port languages for the factory default configuration on the printer's ports.

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:

PostScript

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.

  1. See Installing the files for instructions on installing the printer's utility files.

  2. Locate the PSCRIPT.PS file in the PHSR360 subdirectory inside the PHSRTOOL directory created on your hard disk by the printer's installer.

  3. Use one of the following methods to send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer:

Auto Select

Printing monochrome PCL5 files (and HP-GL2 files)

Use the AIS.PS file to change a printer's parallel port, to automatic language selection. After you copy this file to a port, the printer accepts monochrome 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 automatic language selection, send the AIS.PS file to the printer.
