<p>A method and system for matching the software command language of a computer with the printer language of a printer wherein the nature, character, and frequency of a stream of data (40, 42, 52, 56, 60) generated from computer software is sensed to determine the particular command language in which the computer is operating. In response to this sensing function and in the detection of the presence or absence of certain preselected ASCII characters within a predetermined number of characters initially scanned, an automatic selection (66, 70) is made between the computer or computer workstation and either one of a plurality of available printers operating in this same language or to a correct printer language conversion within a single printer. In this manner, manual language matching keycap selection and problems associated therewith at the computer keyboard are eliminated.</p> |
