Printer languages: PostScript, HP-GL, PCL5

The printer supports PostScript Level 1 and Level 2, and HP-GL

(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) printer languages. Additionally, the

printer supports the monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language)

printer language.

The default language for the parallel port is PostScript. For information on

default language for other interface ports, refer to the PhaserShare Network

Cards and Software System Administrator Manual.

If you want to print HP-GL or PCL5 Þles on a port set to PostScript, you

must set up that printer port for that type of data or enable Adobe

IntelliSelectª automatic language selection. Refer to the CD-ROM or

TektronixÕ World Wide Web site for instructions.

If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,

and PCL5 Þles to the printer and the printer automatically detects the type of

Þle and prints it. You can change the default language so that the next time

you turn on the printer, it is set to receive PostScript, HP-GL, or PCL5 data

on a speciÞc port.

The printer has default values for the HP-GL parameters, such as pen color

and pen width. However, you can change these values. Refer to the

printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ World Wide Web site for instructions.
