Using printer menus
Parallel and Parallel <x>
Use these menu items 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
(1K increments)
The 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. On Printer filters PostScript print jobs
using standard protocol.
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.
*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.
Menu item Purpose Values
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.
