	On*

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

PS SmartSwitch	Off
	On*

	Setting PS SmartSwitch On lets the printer examine the data on the network 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

NPA Mode	Off
(Network Printing	Auto*
Alliance)
	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 Network Menu applies only to the network interface connection.
	Note: Changing the NPA Mode setting automatically resets the printer.
