On Printer performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data.
Off Printer does not perform NPA processing.
Auto* Printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it appropriately.
On* Printer examines the data on the infrared interface and selects PCL emulation if the data
indicates that is the required printer language.
Off Printer does not examine the incoming data. The printer uses PostScript emulation to
process the job if PS SmartSwitch is On, or uses the default printer language specified in the
Setup Menu if PS SmartSwitch is Off.
