Selecting an Emulation
Selecting an Emulation
The PrintPartner 16ADV has two emulations (PCL and FPS) as a standard feature, but the PrintPartner 16DV has PCL as standard and FPS as optional. You can use these emulations to connect your printer to different computers. PCL emulates HP LaserJet 5 printers and FPS emulates PostScript Level 2 compatible printers by the PowerPage© Level 2 interpreter.
When the printer has both emulations, it automatically selects the active emulation with default settings. To specify an emulation, select the emulation using the control panel. Use the Personality menu of the Config menu as shown below.
