PS SmartSwitch Purpose: To configure the printer so it automatically switches to PostScript emulation when a print job received through the parallel port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. Values: On* Off Printer examines data on the parallel 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.
