Using printer menus
Standard USB and USB <x>

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 item 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 Setup Menu if PS SmartSwitch
is Off.
