Using the MFP menus
Standard Network or Network <x>
Use these menu items to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the MFP through a network port, either Standard
Network or Network <x>, where x represents 1 or 2.
Menu item
Purpose
Values and descriptions
PCL
SmartSwitch
Configures the MFP 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*
The MFP examines data on the
network interface and selects
PCL emulation if the data indicates
that is the required printer language.
Off
The MFP 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 MFP 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*
The MFP examines data on the
network interface connection and
selects PostScript emulation if the
data indicates that is the required
printer language.
Off
The MFP 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 MFP
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 MFP.
Off
The MFP does not perform NPA
processing.
Auto*
The MFP examines the data to
determine the format and then
processes it appropriately.
Network Buffer
Configures the size of the network
input buffer.
Note:
Changing the Network Buffer
menu item automatically resets the
MFP. Any permanent resources,
such as fonts or macros, are lost.
Auto*
The MFP automatically calculates the
Network Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to maximum
size allowed
(1K increments)
User specifies the Network Buffer size.
The maximum size depends on the
amount of memory in the MFP, 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.
Job Buffering
Temporarily stores jobs on the MFP
hard disk before printing. This menu
item only appears when a
nondefective formatted hard disk is
installed.
Note:
Changing this menu item
automatically resets the MFP.
Off*
Does not buffer jobs to the hard disk.
On
Buffers print jobs to the hard disk.
Auto
Buffers print jobs only if the MFP is
busy processing data from another
input port.
