It uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu if PCL SmartSwitch is set to Off. 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. • Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated. Sets the size of the parallel input buffer Notes: • Auto is the factory default setting. • The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the disk are printed before normal processing is resumed. • The parallel buffer size setting can be changed in 1K 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 Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce the size of the USB, serial, 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. Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel port Notes: • On is the factory default setting. • The Off setting disables parallel port negotiation.
