CHAPTER 2: PCL Emulation

When you select PCL emulation as the printer language, the printer supports the
Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet Printer Command Language. This chapter
shows how to select PCL emulation and discusses PCL emulation commands, along
with resident PCL emulation font and symbol set support.

To determine which commands your printer supports, see Appendix A: “PCL Support”
on page A-1.

Selecting PCL Emulation

Using SmartSwitch

When SmartSwitch is enabled for both printer languages on an interface (for example,
Parallel, USB, Serial Option 1, or Network Option 1), the printer automatically switches
to the printer language being sent by your software program. The printer is shipped
with SmartSwitch enabled for both printer languages in all interfaces. The printer
examines all print jobs and switches dynamically between PostScript emulation and
PCL emulation.

Using the Operator Panel or MarkVision Professional

If

SmartSwitch

is set to

Off

for both printer languages, you can select PCL emulation

from your printer operator panel or from MarkVision™ Professional. See your printer
documentation for information on changing menu settings.
