printer language.
Off
Printer does not examine the incoming data. The printer uses PCL
emulation to process the job if PCL SmartSwitch is On, or uses
the default printer language specified in the Setup Menu if PCL
SmartSwitch is Off.
NPA Mode
Specifies whether the printer performs the special processing
required for bidirectional communication, following the
conventions defined in the Network Printing Alliance (NPA)
Protocol.
NOTE: Changing this menu item automatically resets the
printer.
On
Printer performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is
rejected as bad data.
Off
Printer does not perform NPA processing.
Auto*
Printer examines data, determines the format, and then
processes it appropriately.
Parallel
Buffer
Configures the size of the parallel input buffer.
NOTE: Changing this menu item automatically resets the
printer.
Disabled
Disables job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the disk are
printed before normal processing of incoming jobs resumes.
Auto*
Printer automatically calculates the Parallel Buffer size
(recommended setting).
3K to
maximum
size
allowed
User specifies the Parallel Buffer size. The maximum size
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 maximize the range for the Parallel Buffer size, disable or
reduce the size of the serial and USB buffers.
Advanced
Status
Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel
port.
Off
Disables parallel port negotiation.
On*
Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel
interface.
Protocol
Specifies the parallel interface protocol.
Standard
May resolve some parallel interface problems.
Fastbytes*
Provides compatibility with most existing parallel interface
implementations (recommended setting).
Honor Init
Determines whether the printer honors hardware
initialization requests from the computer. The computer
requests initialization by activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal computers activate the INIT
signal each time the computer is turned on and off.
Off*
Printer does not honor hardware initialization requests from the
computer.
On
Printer honors hardware initialization requests from the
computer.
Parallel
Determines whether the parallel port data is sampled on the
leading or trailing edge of strobe.
On*
Samples parallel port data on the leading edge of strobe.
Off
Samples parallel port data on the trailing edge of strobe.
Mac Binary
PS
Configures the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript
print jobs.
On
Printer processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers
using the Macintosh operating system.
NOTE: This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail.
Off
Printer filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows
or Macintosh operating systems.
