PostScript
Menu
PostScript Menu options establish the default configuration
for the printer when printing PostScript jobs. PostScript may
be used by software applications to send information and
instructions to the printer.
Note
PostScript is available as an option for the LN17 printer. See
Appendix A: Ordering Printer Options.
Note
Windows Users:
The Windows PostScript driver for the LN17 printer allows the
user to either download the PostScript header with every job
or download it only once. If the printer is used in a network or
other shared environment where both PCL emulation and
PostScript jobs are printed, the header will be deleted when
the printer switches from PostScript to PCL emulation.
Banner sheets printed from Novell networks cause the
printer to switch between PostScript and PCL emulation. If
banner sheets are printed, ensure that the Language
Sensing option is set to ON and the default System
Language (for each enabled port) is set to PCL Emulation.
To avoid the loss of the PostScript header:
— select Download Each Job in the PostScript driver, or
— set State Saving to On in the PostScript Menu.
You must download the header at least once for each
power on cycle. If several different PostScript applications
are used, the “Download Each Job” option will guarantee
that the correct header is always available.
