Understanding printer menus		103
	Use	To
	PS SmartSwitch	Set the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received
	On	through a USB port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.
	Off	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.
	NPA Mode	Set the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
	On	communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol.
	Off	Notes:
	Auto	• Auto is the factory default setting. Auto sets the printer to examine data,
		determine the format, and then process it appropriately.
		• The printer automatically restarts when changing the setting from the printer
		control panel. The menu selection is then updated.
	USB Buffer	Set the size of the USB input buffer.
	Disabled	Notes:
	Auto
		• Auto is the factory default setting.
	3K to [maximum size allowed]
		• 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 1-K increments.
		• 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.
		• The printer automatically restarts when the setting is changed from the printer
		control panel. The menu selection is then updated.
	Job Buffering	Temporarily store print jobs in the printer hard disk before printing.
	Off	Notes:
	On
		• Off is the factory default setting.
	Auto
		• 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.
	Mac Binary PS	Set the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs.
	On	Notes:
	Off
		• Auto is the factory default setting.
	Auto
		• On processes raw binary PostScript print jobs.
		• Off filters print jobs using the standard protocol.
