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.

Dedicating the Printer to the PostScript Language

You can specify that the printer should only print PostScript print jobs. Follow the
procedure below to dedicate your printer to the PostScript personality.
