Lexmark 812 manual MAC Binary PS, NPA Mode, PCL SmartSwitch, Purpose, Values, See also

MAC Binary PS

Purpose:

To configure the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs.

Values:

On	Printer processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers using the Macintosh
	operating system.
	Note: This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail.
Off	Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol.
Auto*	Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or Macintosh operating
	systems.

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

Values:

On*	Printer examines the data on the USB 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.
