- HP LASERJET, PCL TO POSTSCRIPT SWITCH
- -------------------------------------
- This is the procedure that should be use to switch
- printer mode from PCL to PostScript mode using
- the HPlaserjet IIID printer:
-
- 1) Create a subdirectory in the Spool directory called
- SPPAGE.
-
- 2) Put the files that deal with mode switching in that
- directory. These files are TOPCL.ASC and TOPS.ASC
-
- 3) In that directory, create two ASCII files called
- PCLSEP.PG and PSSEP.PG PCLSEP.PG should contain:
-
- & 1 & F "C:\SPOOL\SEPPAGE\TOPCL.ASC
-
- PSSEP.PG should contain:
-
- & 1 & F "C:\SPOOL\SEPPAGE\TOPS.ASC
-
- 4) Once those files are created, you should create two
- printer icons, one for PCL and the other for PostScript.
-
- 5) Open the printer settings for the PostScript printer, go
- to print option, in the separator file field insert:
- C:\SPOOL\SEPPAGE\PSSEP.PG. Close the settings and
- repeat the same procedure for the PCL printer icon with
- C:\SPOOL\SEPPAGE\PCLSEP.PG in the separator file field.
-
- This procedure has been tested with drag and drop method,
- the user does have to manually change the default
- printer from the printer icon before printing.
-
- NOTE: If your operating system will reside on a drive
- other than C, use the appropriate drive letter instead.
