112 USING THE M208’S COMMAND SET: npsh Command Set
printer how to change between PCL and PostScript modes.
If no parameters are specified, the model defaults to the switching strings for
an HP LJIIIsi printer. pclswvar is the switching string to change modes to
PCL and psswvar is the switching string to change modes to PostScript.
See set var on page 117 to set a new variable with a particular switch string or
Variable Definitions on page 177 for the pre-defined switching variables.
set model
modelname
type raw
Set the model specified to no sensing and no conversion. In this mode, there is
no ASCII to PostScript processing and no switching strings appended to the
jobs.
set model m4 header $ESC \&k2
sets the header string of the model m4 with five elements. Invokes CR inser-
tion.
When inputting a “
$” or a “&” and you’re using RSHD to execute this com-
mand, you must place a “
\” beforehand so the local shell interpretor doesn’t
parse it out.
set model m3 type pcl-ps $HP3-SWPCL $HP3-SWPS
sets the model m3 to switch printer modes between PCL and PostScript for an
HPLJIIIsi-compatible printer. The two variables defined represent a PCL
switch string and a PostScript one.

arguments
Configure parallel I/O port parameters. The arguments can be the following
and if used with a “-”, the arguments will be reversed:
[-]ackmode Use the
ACK signal for the trigger of next data transfer. This
can generally be used with older printers. With “-”, the
BUSY signal is used as the trigger.
[-]autofd Assert
AUTOFD line for CR insertion. This only affects
printers that support this function.
