EMULATION CONTROL
If the printer contains both PCL 5 and PostScript emulations, then it
features automatic and manual switching between these emulations.
Select LaserJet, PS, or Auto from the Configuration Menu. When set to
Auto, the printer automatically switches to the PCL 5 (LaserJet) or
PostScript (PS) emulation based on the contents of the first .5 Kbyte of
data sent from the host.
The printer marks the start of this .5 Kbyte search from each occurrence of
either a PCL reset code (
E
c E)
10
or a PostScript end of transmission code
<EOT>
11
:
•
The printer automatically switches to PCL 5 emulation if it encounters
any escape code (ASCII decimal 27) within the first .5 Kbyte of
characters sent to the printer.
•
The printer automatically switches to PostScript emulation if it
encounters a %% comment or another end-of-transmission code
(ASCII decimal 4) within the first .5 Kbyte of characters sent to the
printer.
Switching in this way works with text files created by most modern
software applications (word processors, desk-top publishers, and the like),
but not with all.
10 Although Hewlett-Packard suggests that PCL files begin and end with
E
cE, remember that using this causes loss of
previously downloaded temporary fonts and macros. In such case, the application software should be set up to download
fonts and macros with every file. If this is not possible, another emulation switching technique must be employed.
11 The PostScript end of transmission code is written as either
<CTRL>
D or
<EOT>
