Printing PostScript files
The PSCRIPT.PS file changes a port to accept only PostScript data. After you
copy this file to a port, the printer expects PostScript files on that port. The
port’s language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer
power cycles.
Use one of the following methods to send the file to the printer:
PC users: Use the DOS COPY command, described on page 3-19,
to send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer.
Or, use the Copy command in Windows File Manager, described
on page 3-20, to send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer.
Workstation users: Send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer as you
would any PostScript file.
Printing HP-GL files
The HPGL.PS file changes a port to accept only HP-GL data. After you copy
this file to a port, the printer expects HP-GL files on that port. The port’s
language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer power
cycles.
Use one of the following methods to send the file to the printer:
PC users: Use the DOS COPY command, described on page 3-19,
to send the HPGL.PS file to the printer.
Or, use the Copy command in Windows File Manager, described
