Check the printer’s language mode
If you are using a PC or workstation and your file doesn’t print, the language
on the printer’s port you are using may have been changed.
1.
Print a copy of the printer’s configuration page to see the language
mode on each port. Refer to page B-4 for instructions on printing a
configuration page.
(If the configuration page doesn’t print, try this procedure:
Place Switches 2, 3, and 4, inside the printer’s rear panel door, in
the down position. Then put Switch 4 up. After the configuration
page prints, place Switch 4 down.)
2.
If the printer port you are using has the wrong language set for the
type of application you are using, send one of the following utility
files to the printer:
To print PostScript files, use the PSCRIPT.PS file to set up a port to
receive PostScript; see page C-5 for details.
To print HP-GL files, use the HPGL.PS file to set up a port to receive
HP-GL; see page C-5 for details.
To print PostScript, HP-GL, or PCL5 files, use the AIS.PS file to set
up a port for automatic language selection; see page C-6 for details.
