Selecting an Emulation
Selecting an
Emulation
The PrintPartner 16ADV has two emulations (PCL and FPS) as a
standard feature, but the PrintPartner 16DV has PCL as standard
and FPS as optional. You can use these emulations to connect your
printer to different computers. PCL emulates HP LaserJet 5 printers
and FPS emulates PostScript Level 2 compatible printers by the
PowerPage© Level 2 interpreter.
When the printer has both emulations, it automatically selects the
active emulation with default settings. To specify an emulation,
select the emulation using the control panel. Use the Personality
menu of the Config menu as shown below.
