Print print-ready documents
Several methods are available for printing documents independently of the original software program
that was used to create the document. Normally, the document is printed by opening the original
application and printing it to a file, or by a distribution method such as Internet downloading. The following
print-ready file formats can be sent directly to the product without first opening the original software
program:
●
HP LaserJet Printer Control Language (.PCL)
●
Portable Document Format (.PDF)
●
Postscript (.PS)

Text (.TXT)
●
Print file (.PRN)

type can be printed.
