Using printer menus
Standard USB
Use this menu selection to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
PS SmartSwitch Configures the printer so it automatically
switches to PostScript emulation when a
print job received through the network
port requires it, regardless of the default
printer language
On* Printer examines data on the network
interface connection and selects
PostScript emulation if the data indicates
that is the required printer language.
Off Printer does not examine the incoming
data. The printer uses PCL emulation to
process the job if PCL SmartSwitch is On,
or uses the default printer language
specified in the Setup Menu if PCL
SmartSwitch is Off.
NPA Mode Specifies 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 The printer will not perform any NPA
processing.
Auto* Printer examines the incoming data to
determine the format. If the incoming data
is not NPA packets, the information is
passed to the printer as non-NPA.
Network Buffer Configures the size of the network input
buffer
Note: Changing the Network Buffer
menu item automatically resets the
printer.
Auto* Printer automatically calculates the
Network Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to maximum
size allowed
(1k increments)
User specifies the Network Buffer size. The
maximum size depends on the amount of
memory in the printer, the size of the other
link buffers, and whether Resource Save is
set to On or Off. To maximize the range for
the Network Buffer size, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, and USB buffers.
Mac Binary PS Configures the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs
On Printer processes raw binary PostScript
print jobs from computers using the
Macintosh operating system.
Note: This setting often causes Windows
print jobs to fail.
Off Printer filters PostScript print jobs using
standard protocol.
Auto* Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
