Setting PostScript Printing Options

This section describes personality switching, setting up the PostScript environment,

and the PostScript menu.

Automatic personality switching

After successful installation of the PostScript module, the printer is set by factory

default for automatic personality switching on all the active ports. This means the

printer automatically selects the correct personality for the print job based on the type

of data it receives from the host computer. If you leave the printer set for automatic

personality switching, the printer will select the PostScript personality for a print

stream that contains PostScript data.
