PostScript Printing
Introduction
The PostScript language is available as an option for the HP LaserJet 5
printer and comes standard with the HP LaserJet 5M printer. Chapter 3
focused on using the printer in the PCL mode. Some tasks are
performed differently when printing in the PostScript mode.
This chapter describes differences the PostScript option makes in printer
performance and discusses the following PostScript specific information:
• Preparing for PostScript Printing
• Control Panel Differences with PostScript
• Printing PostScript Test Pages
Printer functions not included in this chapter work the same as described
in Chapter 4, “Printing,” Chapter 3, “Using the Printer Control Panel,”
and other chapters of this manual.

If you purchased an HP LaserJet 5M printer, see the Macintosh Notes
for additional information. Some standard Macintosh terms may have
different meanings in this manual:
• Control panel refers to the control panel on the printer and has
nothing to do with the Controls Panels folder in your System Folder
or the Control Panels that are stored there.
• Menu refers to a key on the printer control panel and to the menus of
items available on the printer control panel, not the pull-down or
pop-up menus that are part of your Macintosh user interface.
