Printing PostScript files

The PSCRIPT.PS file changes a port to accept only PostScript data. After you copy this file to a port, the printer expects PostScript files on that port. The port’s language change is persistent across print jobs and across printer power cycles.

Use one of the following methods to send the file to the printer:

■PC users: Use the DOS COPY command, described on page 3-19, to send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer.

Or, use the Copy command in Windows File Manager, described on page 3-20, to send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer.

■Workstation users: Send the PSCRIPT.PS file to the printer as you would any PostScript file.

Printing HP-GL files
