Printer Configuration

If you are using the printer with a network spooler,
consider having your system administrator modify the
spooler to insert automatically the PJL language-
switching commands at the beginning and end of each
file. This allows the printer to switch automatically into
the correct graphics language for your current print and
returns the printer to the front-panel graphics language
setting for subsequent prints. For information on
ordering PJL reference information, see

Accessories

.

NOTE: If you are working with a multi-
language environment select Automatic.

Network Interface Settings

With a network interface (such as the HP JetDirect
Print Server), refer to your network interface
documentation for advice on any front-panel
configuration. The front-panel menu is I/O Setup / Card
Setup/Configuration.

I/O Time-out Setting

Some software applications do not write a file
terminator at the end of a file. In this case, the printer
does not know when the file is complete and will wait
for more data until the end of the “I/O Time-out” period.
By default, this period is 30 minutes. You can change
the time-out setting in the front-panel menu to as little
as 30 seconds.

PostScript Encoding

The PostScript Encoding settings allow you to send
binary encoded PostScript data through the TCP/IP
network.

NOTE: If you send files from your computer
via the parallel port set this option to software.

PostScript: The HP PostScript printer
driver for Windows provided with your
printer, adds the PJL language-switching
commands to your output file, allowing the
printer to switch graphics languages
automatically.

NOTE: When using a Macintosh you
should select the Automatic or Postscript
setting, otherwise you will not be able to
connect to the printer.
