LaserWriter Pro 630: Using Non-PostScript in PS Mode

I have a LaserWriter Pro 630 connect to a Macintosh using the LocalTalk port. I also have a Sun workstation connected to the printer using the RS-232 port. I want to print both PostScript and non-PostScript files without reconfiguring the printer. Can I do this?
This can be done by setting the default mode for both ports to be PostScript and then on a per job basis change the mode to be PCL (text). To change from PostScript to PCL, do the following:

1. Put the thumb-wheel selection switch to #1. This sets up both the RS-232 port and the LocalTalk port to PostScript.

2. Append the following PostScript command to the front of a text file.

currentfile /LaserJetIIP statusdict /emulate get exec

Note: The command is case sensitive.
