Understanding the operator panel
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 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 network port
requires it, regardless of the
default printer language.
On*
Printer examines data on the
network 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.
PS
SmartSwitch
To configure the printer 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*
Printer examines data on the
network interface connection and
selects PostScript emulation if the
data indicates that is the required
printer language.
Off
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.
Std Net
Setup
To configure an internal print
server.
Values for this menu item are supplied by the specific
print server. Select the menu item to see the available
values.
Note:
Refer to the documentation on the drivers CD
for more information.
