Using printer menus Standard Network and Network Use these menu items to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a network port (either Standard Network or Network ). Menu item PCL SmartSwitch Purpose Values Configures the printer so it *On automatically switches to PCL emulation when a print job received through the network port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. Off PS SmartSwitch Configures the printer so it *On automatically switches to PostScript emulation when a print job received through the network port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. Off NPA Mode Network Buffer Specifies 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 *Auto Configures the size of the network input buffer. Note: Changing the Network Buffer menu item automatically resets the printer. *Auto 3K to maximum size allowed (1K increments) Job Buffering Temporarily stores jobs on the printer hard disk before printing. Note: Changing this menu item automatically resets the printer. *Off On Auto Printer examines data on the network interface and selects PCL emulation if the data indicates that is the required printer language. 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. Printer examines data on the network interface connection and selects PostScript emulation if the data indicates that is the required printer language. 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. Printer does not perform NPA processing. Printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it appropriately. Printer automatically calculates the Network Buffer size (recommended setting). User specifies the Network Buffer size. The maximum size depends on the amount of memory in the 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. Does not buffer jobs to the hard disk. Buffers print jobs to the hard disk. Buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another input port. Menu Groups 34
