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.
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.
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.
PS
SmartSwitch
To configure the printer so it
automatically switches to
PostScript emulation when a print job
received through the USB port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On* Printer examines data on the USB
interface 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.
USB Buffer
To configure the size of the USB input
buffer.
Note: Changing the USB Buffer menu
item automatically resets the printer.
Disabled Job buffering is disabled. Any jobs
already buffered on the disk are
printed before normal processing of
incoming jobs resumes.
Auto* Printer automatically calculates the
USB Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to
maximum size
allowed
User specifies the USB Buffer size.
The maximum size depends on the
amount of memory in your printer, the
size of the other link buffers, and
whether Resource Save is set to On or
Off. To maximize the range for the USB
Buffer size, disable or reduce the size
of the parallel, serial, and network
buffers.
