The printer languages your printer supports can be determined by reading your printer's documentation. Many printers can support multiple languages. For example, many printers now support both PCL and PostScript print jobs.
Commands can be sent to these printers to
cause them to switch languages. For example, to
print a PostScript job on a printer that
supports both PostScript and PCL jobs, a command
sequence may need to be sent with the
job that tells the printer to ``SwitchToPostScript''. This
command sequence can be referenced in a print
job configuration and implemented by using the J
option with CAPTURE or NPRINT
using the following syntax:
CAPTURE J=SWITCHPS
or
NPRINT J=SWITCHPS
Some printers can detect the language used by a print job and switch to the appropriate language automatically.
