Introduction Media & Ink Solutions Front-Panel Printer Options Other Index Page Format Image Appearance Page Size in the FrontPanel Print Management 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 languageswitching 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 Ordering Accessories . 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. 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. NOTE: When using a Macintosh you should select the Automatic or Postscript setting, otherwise you will not be able to connect to the printer. NOTE: If you are working with a multilanguage environment select Automatic. 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.
