Serial Menu

The Serial Menu changes settings affecting jobs sent to the

 

 

 

printer via the serial interface port. This menu is only available

 

 

 

if an optional tri-port adapter is installed in your printer.

 

 

 

When you select Serial Menu from the operator panel, Serial

 

 

 

Option 1 or Serial Option 2 appears on the second line of the

 

 

 

display, depending on whether a tri-port adapter is installed in

 

 

 

connector 1, connector 2, or both. When the correct option is

 

 

 

displayed, press Select to view the menu items listed in the fol-

 

 

 

lowing table.

Values

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PCL SmartSwitch

 

Off

 

 

 

 

On*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting PCL SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the serial 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 setting set On as the default.

 

 

 

 

 

PS SmartSwitch

 

Off

 

 

 

 

On*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting PS SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the serial interface

 

 

connection and select PostScript 3 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 setting set On as the default.

 

 

 

 

 

NPA Mode

 

On

 

 

(Network Printing

 

Off

 

 

Alliance)

 

Auto*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 Serial Menu applies only to the serial interface connection.

 

 

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