NPA Mode Off
Auto*
NPA is a mode of bidirectional communication that follows the conventions defined in
Network
Printing Alliance Protocol, A Printer/Host Control Specification Developed by the NPA
.NPA
mode requires special processing of the print data.
If
NPA Mode is set to On, the data received must be in NPA format. If not, it is rejected as bad
data. If
NPA Mode is set to Off, the printer does not perform any NPA processing. If NPA Mode
is set to Auto, the printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it in
either format.
The
NPA Mode setting in the LOCALTALK MENU applies only to the LocalTalk interface
connection.
Note: Changing the
NPA Mode setting automatically resets the printer.
LocalTalk Buffer Disabled
Auto*
6K to maximum size allowed
You can configure the size of the LocalTalk input buffer to meet the requirements of your
system. If the limited size of the input buffer is preventing you from continuing work in your
software application each time you send a job to the printer, you may want to increase the
buffer size.
The maximum size available for modification 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 LocalTalk buffer size, you can disable or reduce the size of the
parallel, serial, infrared, and USB buffers.
Choose
Auto to let the printer calculate a buffer size proportional to the total amount of
available printer memory. In most cases,
Auto is the recommended setting.
Note: Changing the
LocalTalk Buffer setting automatically resets the printer.
NPA Hosts 1…10 (2*)
Use this setting to specify the maximum number of NPA hosts that can register for NPA printer
alerts. When the number of hosts registered for NPA alerts exceeds the quantity specified by
NPA Hosts, any additional hosts attempting to register for alerts are ignored.
Note: Changing the
NPA Hosts setting automatically resets the printer.
LocalTalk Name Lexmark Optra M410 or Lexmark Optra M412
This setting identifies the printer model name stored in printer memory. It cannot be modified
through the operator panel.
