260 Printer: Enable PostScript printing
param1
= 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.
= 0 The FASTP print process sends the PCL command to switch the printer
back to PCL mode.
The param2 parameter 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, refer to the
Guardian Programmer’s Guide.
