PostScript Printing
Introduction
Adobe’s PostScript language is available as an option for the HP LaserJet
4V printer and is standard with the HP LaserJet 4MV printer. This is
genuine Adobe PostScript Level 2 software and it is backward compatible
with earlier versions.
Chapters 4 and 5 focus on using your printer with Hewlett-Packard’s PCL
language. You perform some tasks differently when you print with Adobe’s
PostScript language.
This chapter describes differences the PostScript option makes in how your
printer works and shows you the following:
• Using the right printer driver
• Control panel differences
• Test Menu items
• PostScript Disk Accessory
Printer functions not included in this chapter work the same as described in
other chapters of this manual.

Users
The following terms, which you know from the Macintosh and Windows
interfaces, have different meanings in this user’s guide:
Control panel refers to the printer’s control panel, not to your computer
screen. Menu refers to a control panel key, and to the menus of selectable
items on the printer’s control panel that you reach by pressing this key, not
to a menu you choose from your screen.
