SETMODE Procedure
260 Printer: Enables PostScript printing for the FASTP print process and FASTP-
based print processes.
param1 = 2 The FASTP print process sends the PCL command to
switch the printer to PostScript mode. At the end of
each line, a system-generated carriage return is issued.
At the end of the job and before the next job prints, the
printer is returned to PCL mode.
=1 The FASTP print process sends the PCL command to
switch the printer to PostScript mode. At the end of the
job and before the next job prints, the printer is returned
to PCL mode. (No system-generated carriage return is
issued at the end of each line.)
= 0 The FASTP print process sends the PCL command to
switch the printer back to PCL mode.
param2 is not used with function 260.
Function 260 applies only to 5577 printers. When PostScript mode is in
effect, SETMODE 142 and CONTROL 1 are ignored and FASTP inhibits the
sending of other PCL sequences such as page eject and job offset.
For programming information about SETMODE function 260, see the
Guardian Programmer’s Guide.

For more information about -XTABS and -NOXTABS, see the
