Understanding the operator panel
USB Menu
Use the USB Menu to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (USB
Option <x>).
Note: Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default settings.
Menu item Purpose Values
MAC Binary
PS
To configure the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print
jobs.
Off Printer processes raw binary
PostScript print jobs from
computers using the Macintosh
operating system.
Note: This setting often causes
Windows print jobs to fail.
On Printer filters PostScript print jobs
using standard protocol.
Auto* Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows
or Macintosh operating systems.
NPA Mode
To specify whether the printer
performs the special processing
required for bidirectional
communication, following the
conventions defined in the
Network Printing Alliance (NPA)
Protocol.
Note: Changing this menu item
automatically resets the printer.
Off Printer performs NPA processing.
If data is not in NPA format, it is
rejected as bad data.
On Printer does not perform NPA
processing.
Auto* Printer examines the data to
determine the format and then
processes it appropriately.
PCL
SmartSwitch
To configure the printer so it
automatically switches to
PCL emulation when a print job
received through the USB port
requires it, regardless of the
default printer language.
On* Printer examines the data on the
USB 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.
