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 monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language). Refer to
the topics on the printer’s CD-ROM or the Tektronix World Wide Web page
for details.
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 User Manual
.
If you want to print HP-GL or PCL5 files on a port set to PostScript, you
must set up that printer port for that type of data or enable Adobe
IntelliSelect™ automatic language selection. Refer to the topics on the
printer’s CD-ROM or the Tektronix World Wide Web page for instructions.
If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,
and PCL5 files to the printer and the printer automatically detects the type of
file 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 specific 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 topics
on the printer’s CD-ROM or the Tektronix World Wide Web page for
instructions.
