Network Menu (continued) Menu item NPA Mode Network Buffer * Factory default Values 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 to On, the data received must be in NPA format. If not, it is rejected as bad data. If NPA Mode is set to 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 NETWORK MENU applies only to the network interface connection. Note: Changing the NPA Mode setting automatically resets the printer. Auto* 3K to maximum size allowed You can configure the size of the network buffer to meet the requirements of your system. If the limited size of the input buffer is preventing you from continuing work in your application each time you send a job to the printer, you may want to increase the buffer size. The maximum size available for modification 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, you can disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, infrared, LocalTalk, and USB buffers. Choose Auto to let the printer calculate the buffer size proportional to the total amount of available printer memory. In most cases, Auto is the recommended setting. Note: Changing the Network Buffer setting automatically resets the printer. Using the Operator Panel and Menus 72

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 to
On
, the data received must be in NPA format. If not, it is rejected as bad data. If
NPA Mode
is set to
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
NETWORK MENU
applies only to the network interface connection.
Note:
Changing the
NPA Mode
setting automatically resets the printer.
Network Buffer
Auto*
3K to maximum size allowed
You can configure the size of the network buffer to meet the requirements of your system. If the limited size of the input
buffer is preventing you from continuing work in your application each time you send a job to the printer, you may want to
increase the buffer size.
The maximum size available for modification 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, you can
disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, infrared, LocalTalk, and USB buffers.
Choose
Auto
to let the printer calculate the buffer size proportional to the total amount of available printer memory. In
most cases,
Auto
is the recommended setting.
Note:
Changing the
Network Buffer
setting automatically resets the printer.
