Menu item Values
PCL SmartSwitch Off
On*
Setting PCL SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the network interface
connection and select PCL emulation if the data indicates that is the printer language.
If both PCL SmartSwitch and PS SmartSwitch are set Off, the printer uses the language
specified in the Printer Language menu as the default. If only one SmartSwitch setting is set
Off, the printer uses the language that has its SmartSwitch set On as the default.
PS SmartSwitch Off
On*
Setting PS SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the network interface
connection and select PostScript 3 emulation if the data indicates that is the printer language.
If both PCL SmartSwitch and PS SmartSwitch are set Off, the printer uses the language
specified in the Printer Language menu as the default. If only one SmartSwitch setting is set
Off, the printer uses the language that has its SmartSwitch setting set On as the default.
NPA Mode
(Network Printing
Alliance)
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 On, the data
received must be in NPA format. If not, it is rejected as bad data. If
NPA Mode is set 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.
