Network Menu

Use the Network Menu to change settings affecting jobs

 

 

sent to the printer via the network port. This menu is only

 

 

available if an optional network adapter is installed in

 

 

your printer.

 

 

When you select Network Menu from the operator panel,

 

 

Network Option 1 or Network Option 2 appears on the

 

 

second line of the display, depending on whether a net-

 

 

work adapter is installed in connector 1, connector 2, or

 

 

both connectors. When the correct option is displayed on

 

 

the second line, press Select to view the menu items listed

 

 

in the following table.

Setting PCL SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the network interface

 

connection and select PCL emulation if the data indicates that is the printer language.

 

If both PCL SmartSwitch and PS SmartSwitch are set Off, the printer uses the language

 

specified in the Printer Language menu as the default. If only one SmartSwitch setting is set

 

Off, the printer uses the language that has its SmartSwitch set On as the default.

language.

 

 

 

If both PCL SmartSwitch and PS SmartSwitch are set Off, the printer uses the language

Off, the printer uses the language that has its SmartSwitch setting set On as the default.

 

 

 

 

NPA Mode

NPA is a mode of bidirectional communication that follows the conventions defined in Network Printing Alliance Protocol, A Printer/Host Control Specification Developed by the NPA.

NPA mode requires special processing of the print data. If NPA Mode is set On, the data received must be in NPA format. If not, it is rejected as bad data. If NPA Mode is set Off, the printer does not perform any NPA processing. If NPA Mode is set to Auto, the printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it in either format.

The NPA Mode setting in the Network Menu applies only to the network interface connection.

Note: Changing the NPA Mode setting automatically resets the printer.
