Printer Type It is not necessary to specify which printer language is used with
the parallel interface because each interface is initially set up to
automatically recognize and interpret the printer language being
sent. You may, however, set up the parallel interface to only
recognize a specific printer language. Printer Type options are:
PS/PCL Sensing - With this setting, the printer senses the
incoming data stream and invokes the appropriate print
language (PostScript Level 2 or PCL 5). The printer
switches emulations without using the control panel or
remote software commands. *PS/PCL Sensing is the factory
default.
Standard (STD) PostScript - With this setting, the printer
recognizes only the standard PostScript page description
language to describe the appearance of a printed page. Some
of the 256 characters used by PostScript are interpreted as
control functions only and cannot be transmitted as data.
The control functions are:
• End of job
• Status (e.g., printer idle)
• Abort (e.g., cancel)
• Xon
• Xoff
