Installing Macintosh screen fonts
The diskette labeled Printer Software for the Macintosh includes screen fonts
in these typeface families: Times, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica
Narrow. You must install these screen fonts if you want to see the printer’s
resident typefaces on the Macintosh screen. When you order a Phaser 340
with the extended features, 52 additional screen fonts are included that must
be installed on your system. Refer to the Phaser 340 Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference for information on how to install fonts.
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 as a separately enabled option. Refer to the Phaser 340
Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for details on enabling the PCL
printing option.
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 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 Phaser 340 Drivers
and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions.
If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,
and PCL5 files (when enabled) 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.
For more information on changing printer languages, refer to the Phaser 340
Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference and the PhaserShare Network Cards and
Software System Administrator Manual.
