Using MFP menus
NPA Mode
Specifies whether the MFP
performs the special processing
required for bidirectional
communication, following the
conventions defined in the Network
Printing Alliance (NPA) Protocol.
Note:
Changing this menu item
automatically resets the MFP. It is
reset to configure memory, and any
permanent resources, such as fonts
or macros, are lost.
On
The MFP performs NPA processing. If
data is not in NPA format, it is rejected
as bad data.
Off
The MFP does not perform NPA
processing.
Auto*
The MFP examines data, determines
the format, and then processes it
appropriately.
Parallel Buffer
Configures the size of the parallel
input buffer.
Note:
Changing this menu item
automatically resets the MFP. It is
reset to configure memory, and any
permanent resources, such as fonts
or macros, are lost.
Disabled
Disables job buffering. Any jobs
already buffered on the hard disk are
printed before normal processing of
incoming jobs resumes.
Auto*
The MFP automatically calculates the
Parallel Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to maximum
size allowed
(1K increments)
The user specifies the Parallel Buffer
size. The maximum size depends on
the amount of memory in the MFP, the
size of the other link buffers, and
whether Resource Save is set to On or
Off. To maximize the range for the
Parallel Buffer size, disable or reduce
the size of the serial and USB buffers.
Job Buffering
This menu item only appears when
a formatted hard disk is installed.
Temporarily stores jobs on the MFP
hard disk before printing.
Note:
Changing this menu item
automatically resets the MFP. It is
reset to configure memory, and any
permanent resources, such as fonts
or macros, are lost.
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 MFP is
busy processing data from another
input port.
Advanced Status
Enables bidirectional
communication through the parallel
port.
Off
Disables parallel port negotiation.
On*
Enables bidirectional communication
through the parallel interface.
Protocol
Specifies the parallel interface
protocol.
Standard
May resolve some parallel interface
problems.
Fastbytes*
Provides compatibility with most
existing parallel interface
implementations (recommended
setting).
Honor Init
Determines whether the MFP
honors hardware initialization
requests from the computer. The
computer requests initialization by
activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal
computers activate the INIT signal
each time the computer is turned on
and off.
Off*
The MFP does not honor hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
On
The MFP honors hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
