Print PS and PCL Files

PS (PostScript) and PCL (Printer Command Language) files are processed by an application via a corresponding OS printer driver. The files are sent to printers and interpreted for printing. For printing a PS/PCL file, the file should be sent to the printer as is.
For printers that use printer languages other than PS and PCL, use a printer driver that supports the corresponding languages in the application programs.

To Print PS and PCL Files:

1. Select a queue to print. If a queue does not exist, select the default queue.
2. Click [Properties] in the [Queue] menu.
3. Click the [Data Format] tab.
4. Clear [Apply text format when print].
5. Click [OK].
6. The remote host gives a command to print a PS file with an LPD printer as follows:
   $ lpr -Pserver test.ps or $ lpr -dserver test.ps

• Note
  Printing commands vary slightly according to host types. Descriptions of printer setup and printing commands by host are given in 'Remote Printer Setup'.
