Using printer menus
Network Menu
Use the Network Menu to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a network port.
Standard Network
Menu selection
Purpose
Values
PCL SmartSwitch
Configures 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.
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
Configures the printer so it automatically
switches to PostScript 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 connection 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.
NPA Mode
Specifies whether the printer performs
the special processing required for
bidirectional communication, following
the conventions defined in the Network
Printing Alliance (NPA) Protocol
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.
Network Buffer
Configures the size of the network input
buffer
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 and USB buffers.
MAC Binary PS
Configures the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs
On
Printer processes raw binary PostScript
print jobs from computers using the
Macintosh operating system.
This setting often causes Windows print
jobs to fail.
Off
Printer filters PostScript print jobs using
standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
Std Net Setup
Configures an internal print server
