3.6 Making Default Settings
Using the operator panel, you can set the default for the most
of printing parameters. Note default settings made using the
operator panel may be overridden by the printer driver
settings and application software.
3.6.1 Default Emulation
You can change the emulation mode and character code set
for the current interface. The printer is capable of the
following emulation modes:
• HP PCL 6 (HP Color LaserJet 8550)
• KC-GL (HPGL 7550A)
• KPDL3 (PostScript 3)
The printer can automatically switch between KPDL 3 and
another emulation depending on the print job that is received
from the computer. To do this, select KPDL (AUTO) in the
following procedure and determine the alternative emulation
by referring to 3.6.3 Alternative Emulation for KPDL
