Automatic switching mode on 4019

Question:

I have a 4019 that I have been working with all afternoon trying to get it to switch
between PostScript and ASCII mode with no success.  Do you know how I can do this?

Response:

In order to have the ability to switch between the modes (ie.            
ascii, postscript) of the 4019 printer, the level of the hardware        
must be at version 52.3 or higher.  Older versions did not allow         
automatic switching prior to this level.  To find out what level         
your 4019 is at, you will need to put the printer in postscript          
mode and review the sheet that comes out titled "PostScript Option       
for the IBM LaserPrinter".  The line that says "Adobe PostScript         
Interpreter" should have a level  of 52.3 or higher.                     
                                                                         
To put the printer in postscript mode, turn off the printer and          
then press down the paper and font buttons simultaneously while          
you turn on the printer.   Release the buttons when you see any          
lights come on, on the printers front panel.  The postscript page        
will then be printed.                                                    
                                                                         
If the printer is not at level 52.3 or higher, you may wish to           
contact Lexmark Technical Support at (606) 232-3000 to obtain this       
version, so the 4019 can dynamically switch between emulations.          
                                                       
If the printer hardware is at level 52.3 version of the Adobe            
Software, then to ensure that the printer will automatically             
switch modes, check the 'mZ' attribute in the virtual printer.           
The 'mZ' attribute in the virtual printer for the PostScript queue       
must be set to '+'.  Use the following steps to set the 'mZ=+':          
                                                                         
        1.  With root authority issue the following SMIT fastpath:       
                 smit virprt                                             
        2.  Select 'Change / Show Characteristics of a Virtual           
              Printer'                                                   
        3.  Select the postscript queue                                  
        4.  At the 'To terminate, press Enter:' prompt, enter            
             'mZ=+'
