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. 31

Using printer menus
Standard Network and Network <x>
Use this menu selection to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a network port (either Standard
Network or Network <x>).
Menu selection
Purpose
Values
PCL SmartSwitch
Configures 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
Configures 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.
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.
Off
Printer does not perform NPA
processing.
Auto*
Printer examines the data to determine
the format and then processes it
appropriately.
Network Buffer
Configures the size of the
network input buffer.
Note:
Changing the Network
Buffer menu item
automatically resets the
printer.
Auto*
Printer automatically calculates the
Network Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to maximum
size allowed
(1k increments)
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.
Job Buffering
Temporarily stores jobs on the
printer hard disk before
printing.
Note:
Changing this menu
item automatically resets the
printer.
Off*
Does not buffer jobs to the hard disk.
On
Buffers print jobs to the hard disk.
Auto
Buffers print jobs only if the printer is
busy processing data from another
input port.
