Printer languages: PostScript, HP-GL, PCL5
The printer supports PostScript Level 1 and Level 2, and HP-GL
(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) printer languages. Additionally, the
printer supports the monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language)
printer language.
The default language for the parallel port is PostScript. For information on
default language for other interface ports, refer to the PhaserShare Network
Cards and Software System Administrator Manual.
If you want to print HP-GL or PCL5 Þles on a port set to PostScript, you
must set up that printer port for that type of data or enable Adobe
IntelliSelectª automatic language selection. Refer to the CD-ROM or
TektronixÕ World Wide Web site for instructions.
If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,
and PCL5 Þles to the printer and the printer automatically detects the type of
Þle and prints it. You can change the default language so that the next time
you turn on the printer, it is set to receive PostScript, HP-GL, or PCL5 data
on a speciÞc port.
The printer has default values for the HP-GL parameters, such as pen color
and pen width. However, you can change these values. Refer to the
printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ World Wide Web site for instructions.
