Note Switching Printer Languages (Personalities) The HP LaserJet 5 printer comes with the PCL 6 printer personality or operating language, which gives you 45 built-in scalable fonts. You can also add a PostScript SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module) which gives you Adobe's 35 Type 1 fonts. If more than one printer language is installed, your printer is set by default to switch automatically between languages as it receives printing jobs. This allows you to print either HP PCL 6 or PostScript Level 2 language documents without leaving your application. Normally you should not change the printer personality setting from AUTO, the default. If you do change it to a specific printer language (PCL or PS), the printer will not automatically switch from one language to another unless software commands are sent to the the printer. To change the printer's personality setting: 1 Press [Menu] until JOB MENU appears. 2 Press [Item] until PERSONALTY=setting appears. 3 Press [- Value +] until the setting you want appears. 4 Press [Select] to save your selection. An asterisk (*) appears next to your selection in the display. 5 Press [Go] to exit menus. PostScript 5 Printing EN PostScript Printing 5-5
