Understanding the operator panel USB Menu Use the USB Menu to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (USB Option ). Note: Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default settings. Menu item MAC Binary PS Purpose Values To configure the printer to process Off Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs. On Auto* NPA Mode To specify 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. PCL To configure the printer so it SmartSwitch automatically switches to PCL emulation when a print job received through the USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. Off On Auto* On* Off Printer processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers using the Macintosh operating system. Note: This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail. Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol. Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or Macintosh operating systems. 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. Printer examines the data on the USB 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.

Understanding the operator panel
USB Menu
Use the USB Menu to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (USB
Option <x>).
Note:
Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default settings.
Menu item
Purpose
Values
MAC Binary
PS
To configure the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print
jobs.
Off
Printer processes raw binary
PostScript print jobs from
computers using the Macintosh
operating system.
Note:
This setting often causes
Windows print jobs to fail.
On
Printer filters PostScript print jobs
using standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows
or Macintosh operating systems.
NPA Mode
To specify 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
Printer performs NPA processing.
If data is not in NPA format, it is
rejected as bad data.
On
Printer does not perform NPA
processing.
Auto*
Printer examines the data to
determine the format and then
processes it appropriately.
PCL
SmartSwitch
To configure the printer so it
automatically switches to
PCL emulation when a print job
received through the USB port
requires it, regardless of the
default printer language.
On*
Printer examines the data on the
USB 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.
