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.
