Description

PS SmartSwitch

Off

Sets the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received

through a serial port requires it, regardless of the default printer language

Notes:

•

On is the factory default setting.

•

When the Off setting is used, the printer does not examine incoming data.

•

When the Off setting is used, the printer uses PCL emulation if PCL SmartSwitch

is set to On. It uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu if

PCL SmartSwitch is set to Off.

NPA Mode

Off

Auto

Sets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional

communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol

Notes:

•

Auto is the factory default setting.

•

When the On setting is used, the printer performs NPA processing. If the data

is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data.

•

When the Off setting is used, the printer does not perform NPA processing.

•

When the Auto setting is used, the printer examines data, determines the

format, and then processes it appropriately.

•

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus

causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.

•

The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the

disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.

•

The serial buffer size setting can be changed in 1-K increments.

•

The maximum size allowed 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 increase the maximum size range for the Serial Buffer, disable or reduce the

size of the parallel, USB, and network buffers.

•

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus

causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.

from another input port.

•

causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
