Selecting an Emulation

Selecting an Emulation

This printer has two emulations (PCL and FPS) as a standard feature. You can use these emulations to connect your printer to different computers. PCL emulates HP LaserJet 4 printers and FPS emulates PostScript Level 2 compatible printers.

With default settings, the printer automatically selects the active emulation. To specify an emulation, select the emulation using the control panel. Use the Personality menu of the Config menu as shown below.
