Changing the communication settings

The LaserWriter 12/640 PS default communication setting for the TCP/IP

interface is PostScript. If the printer is to be used for PostScript and PCL5

(text) files, you must change the communication setting to AutoSelect, which

turns on automatic language sensing. Automatic language sensing allows the

printer to receive information over the network and determine which page-

description language is required.

Use the printer utility (Mac OS or Windows) to change the communication

setting to AutoSelect. If there are no Mac OS–based computers or

Windows-based computers on your network, you can download a file to the

printer that changes the communication setting to AutoSelect.

Set up your printer for UNIX users as described in this chapter before

changing the communication setting.

1Set the communication switch on the printer to the Normal (in) position.

2 Using a text editor, create a file with the following contents:

%!PS

(%LPR_NV%) <</Interpreter /AutoSelect >> setdevparams

3Download the file to the printer.

For example:

lpr

filename

4 Turn the printer off and back on again.

5Examine the startup page to make sure the TCP/IP port is set to AutoSelect.

To restore the TCP/IP interface to PostScript:

1Set the communication switch on the printer to the Reset (out) position.

2 Turn the printer off and back on again.

3Set the communication switch on the printer to the Normal (in) position.
