Note Switching Printer Languages (Personalities) If more than one printer language is installed, by default your printer is set to switch automatically between languages as it receives printing jobs. For example, if you have a HP LaserJet 4M printer, you can send jobs to the printer in either Hewlett-Packard's PCL or Adobe's PostScript language documents without making special control panel settings. In your printer's control panel, printer languages are referred to as personalities. Normally you should not change the printer's 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 printer. To change the printer's personality setting: 1 Press [On Line] to take the printer off line. 2 Press [Menu] until JOB MENU appears. 3 Press [Item] until PERSONALTY=setting appears. 4 Press [+] or [Shift] + [-] until the setting you want appears. 5 Press [Enter] to save your selection. An asterisk (*) appears next to your selection. 6 Press [On Line] to place the printer back on line. 5-2 Special Tasks

Switching Printer Languages
(Personalities)
If more than one printer language is installed, by default your printer is set
to switch automatically between languages as it receives printing jobs. For
example, if you have a HP LaserJet 4M printer, you can send jobs to the
printer in either Hewlett-Packard’s PCL or Adobe’s PostScript language
documents without making special control panel settings.
In your printer’s control panel, printer languages are referred to as
personalities
.
Note
Normally you should not change the printer’s 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 printer.
To change the printer’s personality setting:
1
Press
[On°Line]
to take the printer off line.
2
Press
[Menu]
until
JOB MENU
appears.
3
Press
[Item]
until
PERSONALTY
=setting
appears.
4
Press
[+]
or
[Shift]
+
[-]
until the setting you want appears.
5
Press
[Enter]
to save your selection. An asterisk (

) appears next to your
selection.
6
Press
[On°Line]
