PS Executive Series Utilities
Once you install this software on your host, use its menus to access
printer features, such as printer naming and font and emulation
downloading. PS Exec also contains sample files that illustrate
some of your printer’s capabilities. The PS Exec software is
accompanied by Macintosh screen fonts and a PC screen printing
utility. You can also load new system software through PS Exec.
A README file explains how to install PS Executive Series
Utilities, and its online help explains how to use the utilities.
PostScript Level 2 Compatibility
The printer’s Level 2 emulation is fully compatible with Adobe’s
PostScript Level 2 page description language, whose features
include device-independent color, improved memory and resource
management, data compression/decompression filters, and pattern
and form caching. Full support (selectable through PS Executive
Series Utilities or the control panel) for PostScript Level 1 files is
also included in this printer.
Resident HP PCL 5C and HP-GL Emulation
Your printer emulates the HP PaintJet XL300 PCL 5C printer. This
emulation supports the complete set of color commands in the
XL300, 13 outline typefaces, and 7 PCL Courier and Lineprinter
bitmap fonts (see “The Resident HP PCL Fonts” in chapter 7,
“Optimizing Color Output,” for a font list). It also supports
HP-GL/2 vector graphics. This printer also emulates the following
HP-GL plotters: 7550A, 7470A, 7475A, and ColorPro.
Intel RISC-based Controller
A 33 MHz Intel 80960CF RISC microprocessor boosts processing
speed.
