PCL
SmartSwitch
Configures the MFP so it
automatically switches to
PCL emulation when a print job
received through the network port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On* The MFP examines data on the
network interface and selects
PCL emulation if the data indicates
that is the required printer language.
Off The MFP does not examine the
incoming data. The MFP 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.
