1...10 (2*)
Note: Changing this menu item automatically resets the printer.
NPA Mode
Purpose:
To specify whether the printer performs the special processing required for bidirectional communication, following the conventions defined in the Network Printing Alliance (NPA) Protocol.
Values:
| On | Printer performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data. | 
| Off | Printer does not perform NPA processing. | 
| Auto* | Printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it appropriately. | 
Note: Changing this menu item automatically resets the printer.
PCL SmartSwitch
Purpose:
To configure the printer so it automatically switches to PCL emulation when a print job received through the LocalTalk port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.
Values:
| On* | Printer examines data on the LocalTalk 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. |
