Standard USB and USB <x>
Use this menu selection to change printer settings affecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port (USB <x>).
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>).
NOTE:
Changing the Network Buffer menu
item automatically resets the printer.
3K to maximum
size allowed
(1k increments)
User specifies the Network 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 Network Buffer size, disable or reduce the size of
the parallel, serial, and USB buffers.
Mac Binary
PS
Configures the printer to process Macintosh
binary PostScript print jobs.
On
Printer processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers
using the Macintosh operating system.
NOTE:
This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail.
Off
Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
Menu
selection:
Purpose:
Values:
PCL
SmartSwitch
Configures the printer so it automatically switches
to PCL emulation when a print job received
through the USB port requires it, regardless of the
default printer language.
On*
Printer examines the data on the USB port 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
if PS SmartSwitch is Off.

On*
Printer examines data on the USB interface and selects PostScript
emulation if the data indicates that is the required printer language.
Off
Printer does not examine the incoming data. The printer uses PCL
emulation to process the job if PCL SmartSwitch is On, or uses the
default printer language specified in the
if PCL SmartSwitch
is Off.
NPA Mode
Specifies whether the printer 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 printer.
Off
Printer performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected
as bad data.
On
Printer does not perform NPA processing.
Auto*
Printer examines the data to determine the format, and then processes it
appropriately.
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).
