Printer User Manual

The printer does not print correctly in the PostScript mode
Cause What to do
The printer’s emulation mode setting is incorrect. The printer is set to the Auto mode by default, so that it can
automatically determine the encoding used in the received print
job data and select the appropriate emulation mode. However,
there are situations where the printer cannot select the correct
emulation mode. In this case, it must be set manually to PS3.
Set the emulation mode through the SelecType Emulation Menu
on the printer. See “Emulation Menu” on page 69.
The printer’s emulation mode setting for the interface
that you are using is incorrect.
The emulation mode can be set individually for each interface
which receives print job data. Set the emulation mode for the
interface you are using to PS3.
Set the emulation mode through the SelecType Emulation Menu
on the printer. See “Emulation Menu” on page 69.

the Print dialog box.
An incorrect printer driver is selected. Make sure that the PostScript printer driver that you are using to
print is selected.
The Emulation Menu in the printer’s Control Panel is set
to a mode other than Auto or PS3 for the interface that
you are using.
Change the mode setting to either Auto or PS3.

Cause What to do

Open the Print & Fax (for Mac OS X 10.5) or Printer Setup Utility
(Mac OS X 10.4 or below), then select the AppleTalk zone that the
printer is connected to.
