Manual background

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:

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 network port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.

Values:

On*	Printer examines data on the network 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.
