Description
Sets the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received through a USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language
Notes:
•On is the factory default setting.
•When set to Off, the printer does not examine incoming data. The printer uses PCL emulation if the PCL SmartSwitch is set to On. It uses the default printer language specified in the Setup menu if the PCL SmartSwitch is set to Off.
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. Auto sets the printer to examine data, determine the format, and then process it appropriately.
•Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Sets the size of the USB input buffer
Notes:
•Auto is the factory default setting.
•Disabled turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the printer hard disk are printed before normal processing resumes.
•The USB buffer size value can be changed in
•The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer, the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or Off.
•To increase the maximum size range for the USB Buffer, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers.
•Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Temporarily stores print jobs on the printer hard disk before printing
Notes:
•Off is the factory default setting.
•On buffers jobs on the printer hard disk.
•Auto buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another input port.
•Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Sets the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs
Notes:
•Auto is the factory default setting.
•On processes raw binary PostScript print jobs.
•Off filters print jobs using the standard protocol.
