Sets the printer to automatically switch to PCL emulation when a print job received
through a serial port requires it, regardless of the default printer language

Notes:

On is the factory default setting.

When the Off setting is used, the printer does not examine incoming data.

When the Off setting is used, the printer uses PostScript emulation if PS
SmartSwitch is set to On. It uses the default printer language specified in the
Setup menu if PS SmartSwitch is set to Off.

NPA Mode

On
Off
Auto

Sets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol

Notes:

Auto is the factory default setting.

When the On setting is used, the printer performs NPA processing. If the data
is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data.

When the Off setting is used, the printer does not perform NPA processing.

When the Auto setting is used, the printer examines data, determines the
format, and then processes it appropriately.

Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
