- We are using a IIIP w/cartridge. One must 'toggle' between
- normal and PS modes via the following sequence--
- hit 'on-line' to take unit offline -- on-line light should go
- out. Next hold '+/-' key down and depress 'Alt' & 'Reset'
- simultaneously. The unit should switch from PCL to PS modes and
- vice versa. One thing that is not obvious is that by adding the
- cartridge, your default printer parameters change! Check the
- booklet that came with the cartridge.
