amount of memory in the MFP, the
size of the other link buffers, and
whether Resource Save is set to On or
Off. To maximize the range for the
Network Buffer size, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, serial, and USB
buffers.

PCL
SmartSwitch Configures the MFP so it
automatically switches to
PCLemulation when a print job
received through the USB port
requires it, regardless of the default
printer language.
On* The MFP examines the data on the
USB port and selects PCLemulation if
the data indicates that is the required
printer language.
Off The MFP does not examine the
incoming data. The MFP uses
PostScriptemulation 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.
