Network Buffer
To configure 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
User specifies the Network 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
Network Buffer size, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, serial, and USB
buffers.
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 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 network port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On* Printer examines data on the network
interface and selects PCL emulation if
the data indicates that is the required
printer language.

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.
