Phaser 540 Color Printer
The printer supports PostScript Level 1 and Level 2, HP-GL
(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language), and monochrome PCL5 (Printer
Command Language) printer languages.
The default language for the parallel port is PostScript. For information
on default language for other interface ports, refer to the Phaser Share
User 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
IntelliSellect™ automatic language selection. Refer to the Phaser 540 Drivers
and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions.
If automatic language selection is enabled, you can send PostScript, HP-GL,
and PCL5 files 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
Phaser 540 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions.
