5-1 Languages CHAPTER 5: Switching Languages Your printer may support both PCL emulation and PostScript emulation. See your printer documentation for more information. This chapter describes ways to switch printer languages and explains when you may want to choose one method over another. SmartSwitch is provided with the printer to switch languages. Other methods of switching languages are: • PJL ENTER LANGUAGE command • Sniffing SmartSwitch The SmartSwitch feature lets the printer switch to either PCL emulation or PostScript emulation for each interface (parallel, serial, USB, or network). Your printer is shipped from the factory with SmartSwitch set to On for all languages and all interfaces. Consequently, the printer examines all print jobs coming into all its interfaces and switches between PostScript emulation and PCL emulation dynamically. If a software program explicitly tells the printer which language to use by a PJL command, the printer always accepts and uses that explicit command, regardless of how SmartSwitch has been set from the printer operator panel. If a software program does not explicitly tell the printer which language to use, the printer examines the incoming data stream and selects the language.
