Language Commands

PostScript operators and HP PCL and HP-GL commands can enable job-specific features your application or page description language can’t access. Refer to your language documentation for specifics.

Using the Control Panel

Your printer is configured at the factory for the most typical printing environments, so most users don't have to use the control panel often. However, if you do need to change a printer setting for all print jobs (not just on a per-job basis), you can do so through the control panel. If you are working in a shared printing environment, your system administrator should be the only person to make changes through the printer's control panel.

The rest of this chapter explains how to use the printer control panel and configuration menu.

Using a Remote Console

Many of the configuration choices that can be made at the control panel can also be made through a remote console if you’re connected to a network via the Ethernet interface or another optional network interface. To avoid confusion in a shared printing environment, only the system administrator should make configuration changes.

»Note: If a remote console has the printer off line, pressing the Online/ Offline key will not take effect until the console puts the printer back on line.

See the QMS CrownNet Interface System Administrator’s Guide for instructions on accessing Remote Console through the Ethernet interface and the QMS Remote Console User’s Guide for complete information on using a remote console.
