PCL SmartSwitch
On
Off
Set the printer to automatically switch to PCL emulation when a print job
received through a USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer
language.
Notes:
•
On is the factory default setting.
•
If PCL SmartSwitch is enabled, then the printer uses PCL emulation.
•
If PCL SmartSwitch is disabled, then the printer does not examine incoming
data and it uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu.
PS SmartSwitch
On
Off
Set the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received
through a USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.
Notes:
•
On is the factory default setting.
•
If PS SmartSwitch is enabled, then the printer uses PostScript emulation.
•
If PS SmartSwitch is disabled, then the printer does not examine incoming
data and it uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu.
NPA Mode
On
Off
Auto
Set the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol.

Auto is the factory default setting. Auto sets the printer to examine data,
determine the format, and then process it appropriately.
USB Buffer
Disabled
Auto
3K to [maximum size
allowed]
Set the size of the USB input buffer.
Notes:
•
Auto is the factory default setting.
•
Disabled turns off job buffering.
•
The USB buffer size value can be changed in 1KB 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 USB Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers.
•
The printer automatically restarts when the setting is changed. The menu
selection is then updated.
