Note: Your printer and each individual port can be set
to accept jobs in PostScript only, PCL only, or to switch
automatically between the two. If you set the printer
to Auto Switch, it will accept either PostScript or PCL
documents without you having to change settings.
Your printer will work more efficiently if you change
only the ports that actually need Auto Switch. This
Auto switch, PostScript only, or
PCL only.
means that any other ports that only need to accept a
single standard will not examine each print job to see
whether it’s PostScript or PCL.
However, if you choose Auto Switch for any port (or
the entire printer), you’ll use more printer RAM than if
you choose PostScript only or PCL only.
