Any jobs already buffered on the disk are printed before normal processing of incoming jobs resumes. Printer automatically calculates the USB Buffer size (recommended setting). User specifies the USB 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 USB Buffer size, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers. Does not buffer print 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. Printer processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers using the Macintosh operating system. Note: This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail. Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol. Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

Parallel and Parallel Use this menu selection to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a parallel port (either Std Parallel or Parallel ). Menu selection PCL SmartSwitch Purpose Values Configures the printer so it automatically On* switches to PCL emulation when a print job received through the parallel port requires it, regardless of the default printer language. Off Printer examines data on the parallel interface and selects PCL emulation if the data indicates that is the required printer language. 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. 32

Using printer menus
Parallel and Parallel <x>
Use this menu selection to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through a parallel port (either Std Parallel or
Parallel <x>).
USB Buffer
Configures the size of the USB input
buffer.
Note:
Changing the USB Buffer menu
item automatically resets the printer.
Disabled
Job buffering is disabled. Any jobs already
buffered on the disk are printed before
normal processing of incoming jobs
resumes.
Auto*
Printer automatically calculates the USB
Buffer size (recommended setting).
3K to maximum size
allowed
User specifies the USB 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 USB Buffer size, disable or reduce the
size of the parallel, serial, and network
buffers.
Job Buffering
Temporarily stores jobs on the printer
hard disk before printing.
Note:
Changing the Job Buffering menu
item automatically resets the printer.
Off*
Does not buffer print 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.
Mac Binary PS
Configures the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs.
Off
Printer processes raw binary PostScript
print jobs from computers using the
Macintosh operating system.
Note:
This setting often causes Windows
print jobs to fail.
On
Printer filters PostScript print jobs using
standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
ENA Address
Sets the USB port ENA Address.
4 field IP address
Shown only if an ENA is attached through
the USB port.
ENA Netmask
Sets the USB port ENA Netmask.
ENA Gateway
Sets the USB port ENA Gateway.

PCL SmartSwitch
Configures the printer so it automatically
switches to PCL emulation when a print
job received through the parallel port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On*
Printer examines data on the parallel
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.
