Introduction
This chapter provides additional technical information on
communication modes, gamma correction, memory management,
end job mode, the PS Protocol option, and HP-GL color-to-grayscale
conversion.
Communication Modes
You can either allow your printer to operate in its default ESP mode or
configure its ports to accept jobs in only a particular emulation (for
example, PostScript emulation only, HP PCL emulation only, or HP-
GL emulation only). If you do not want to reconfigure the interface
ports for specific emulations (or if you need to return the printer to the
default ESP mode), use the printer’s control panel (the Administra-
tion/Communications menu). Configuring the printer through the con-
trol panel is described in chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of the
Reference guide . In the Administration/Emulations menu, you can
configure the printer defaults for each emulation. (The LocalTalk inter-
face uses only PostScript.)
Advanced users can also use PostScript operators to reconfigure
printer ports. Generally, it is best to keep your printer in ESP mode.
Since ESP mode is the factory default, all you have to do to use it ini-
tially is connect your host and printer and then send a file.
