Phaser 350 Color Printer
Printer languages: PostScript, HP-GL, PCL5
The printer supports PostScript Level 1 and Level 2, and HP-GL
(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) printer languages. Additionally, the
printer supports the monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language)
printer language as a separately enabled option. Refer to the CD-ROM or
Tektronix’ World Wide Web site for details on enabling the PCL printing
option.
The default language for the parallel port is PostScript. For information on
default language for other interface ports, refer to the PhaserShare Network
Cards and Software System Administrator Manual.
If you want to print HP-GL or PCL5 files on a port set to PostScript, you
must set up that printer port for that type of data or enable Adobe
IntelliSelect™ automatic language selection. Refer to the CD-ROM or
Tektronix’ World Wide Web site for instructions.
If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,
and PCL5 files (when enabled) to the printer and the printer automatically
detects the type of file and prints it. You can change the default language so
that the next time you turn on the printer, it is set to receive PostScript,
HP-GL, or PCL5 data on a specific port.
The printer has default values for the HP-GL parameters, such as pen color
and pen width. However, you can change these values. Refer to the
printer’s CD-ROM or Tektronix’ World Wide Web site for instructions.
