PCL
SmartSwitch
To configure the printer so it
automatically switches to
PCL emulation when a print job
received through the parallel port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On* Printer examines data on the parallel
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.
