Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol. Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or Macintosh operating systems. Standard USB and USB Use these menu items to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (USB ). Menu item PCL SmartSwitch Purpose Values Configures the printer so it *On automatically switches to PCL emulation when a print job received through the USB 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 USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. 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. Note: Changing this menu item automatically resets the printer. On Off *Auto Printer examines the data on the USB port 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 USB interface 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 performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data. Printer does not perform NPA processing. Printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it appropriately. Menu Groups 35
