GCC 12 Instruccion De Instalación

If an application supports PostScript, we recommend that you configure the ap-

plication to use a PostScript printer driver. Printing using a PostScript printer

driver enables the application to use the 11 high quality PostScript font families

included with the Elite 12 Series at all available resolutions. We recommend that

you use the LaserWriter II NTX printer driver if it is available with your applica-

tion. If not, use LaserWriter II NT, LaserWriter Plus, or LaserWriter. Refer to the

application’s documentation for more information. 

The Elite 12 Series also includes PCL 5/HP-GL/2 emulation software, which

provides LaserJet III text and graphics compatibility plus the ability to print at

600 dpi. If you are using a PCL application, we recommend that you configure

the application to print to a LaserJet III. If a LaserJet III driver is not available, use

a driver for the LaserJet II, or else LaserJet. Refer to the application’s documenta-

tion for more information. 

: If your document uses 300 dpi user-defined patterns or 300 dpi bitmap

fonts, the Elite 12 Series will only be able to print these at 300 dpi even if 600 dpi

PCL is selected. Also, the Elite 12 Series includes 15 PCL fonts that are

compatible with those in the HP LaserJet III. These fonts consist of 7 bitmap and

8 scalable fonts. If you have configured your Elite 12 Series to print PCL at 600

dpi, the internal bitmap fonts will only print at 300 dpi. The internal scalable fonts

will print at 600 dpi, as will any downloaded scalable font.

: In PCL 5 emulation, the Elite 12 Series can print at either 300 or 600 dpi res-

olution. The default resolution is 300 dpi. Resolution is set via the Resolution

submenu. Also, although most PCL applications send the necessary commands

specifying font, character pitch, point size, etc., the Elite 12 Series front panel

can be used to set many PCL print characteristics. 

The PCL 5 printer language was developed by Hewlett-Packard. For more infor-

mation about commands supported by PCL 5, see the HP PCL 5 Printer Lan-

guage Technical Reference Manual (Manual Part No. 5961-0509).

If you printed a job to a file from a DOS application, you must use the DOS

COPY command to make the printer print the file. The following command is a

typical example:
