6. Emulations
_
— Press the Enter key to access the four Emulations submenus. Three of these
submenus,Port Emulations, PostScript, and PCL, contain additional submenus. See note below.
Submenu Description Settings Notes
PS/PCL
Sensing Determines if the printer will
automatically switch between
PostScript and PCL emulations;
or print only PostScript or only
PCL print jobs. Auto switch, PostScript
only, and PCL only To print PCL jobs, the factory
setting (PostScript only) must be
set to either Auto Switch or PCL
only. See Note below.
If you change the PS/PCL
Sensing submenu option, you must
switch the printer off and back on,
in order to for the new option
setting to be used.
Port
Emulations
(5 submenus) The Port Emulations submenu
will only appear when PS/PCL
Sensing is set to Auto switch.
Parallel Determines if the Parallel port
will automatically switch between
PostScript and PCL emulations,
or accept only PostScript or only
PCL print jobs. Auto switch, PostScript
only, and PCL only See Note below.
RS422
Port Determines whether the RS422
serial port will automatically
switch between PostScript and
PCL emulations, or accept only
PostScript or PCL print jobs. Auto switch, PostScript
only, and PCL only See note below.
LocalTalk
Port Determines whether the
LocalTalk port will
automatically switch between
PostScript and PCL emulations,
or accept only PostScript or only
PCL print jobs. Auto switch, PostScript
only, and PCL only See note below.
EtherTalk
Port Determines if the EtherTalk port
will automatically switch between
PostScript and PCL emulations,
or accept only PostScript or PCL
print jobs. Auto switch, PostScript
only, and PCL only This submenu will only appear
when the optional GCIO Ethernet
networking card is installed in the
printe. See Note below.
Note: The Elite XL’s auto-sensing and auto-switching features enable the printer to automatically sense and switch
between a PostScript print job and a PCL print job. If you print using both PostScript and PCL, set the PS/PCL Sensing
submenu to Auto switch. If PS/PCL Sensing is set to Auto switch, you can then set each interface port to either Auto
switch, PostScript only, or PCL only. Setting each interface port independently enables the printer to better distinguish
among PostScript and PCL print jobs. When PostScript and PCL are simultaneously active, available memory is
significantly less than when PS/PCL Sensing is set to either PostScript only or PCL only. If you require PostScript and
PCL to be simultaneously active and experience memory failures, we recommend that you increase the amount of RAM
installed in the printer.
