Purpose:
To configure your printer to work with printer drivers or applications that use different source
assignments for the paper trays.
First select a paper source:
Then select a value:

PostScript Menu
Use the PostScript Menu to change printer settings that only affect jobs using the PostScript emulation
printer language.
Select a menu item for more details:
Note:Values marked by an asterisk are the factory default settings.
Font Priority
Purpose:
To establish the font search order.
Va l u e s :
Note:Font Priority is only displayed when a formatted flash or hard disk is installed, is
neither defective nor Read/Write or Write protected.
Print PS Error
Purpose:
To print a page defining the PostScript emulation error when an error occurs.
Va l u e s :

Resident*Printer searches printer memory for the requested font before searching flash
memory or hard disk.
Flash/DiskPrinter searches the hard disk and flash memory for the requested font before
searching printer memory.
Off*Discards the print job without printing an error page.
OnPrints an error page before it discards the job.

Honor Init
Purpose:
To determine 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.
Va l u e s :
Job Buffering
Purpose:
To specify whether the printer temporarily stores jobs on the hard disk before printing.
Va l u e s :
Note:Changing the Job Buffering menu item automatically resets the printer.
MAC Binary PS
Purpose:
To configure the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript print jobs.
Va l u e s :
Off*Printer does not honor hardware initialization requests from the computer.
OnPrinter honors hardware initialization requests from the computer.
Off*Does not buffer print jobs to the hard disk.
OnBuffers print jobs to the hard disk.
AutoBuffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another input port.
OnPrinter processes raw binary PostScript print jobs from computers using the Macintosh
operating system.
Note:This setting often causes Windows print jobs to fail.
OffPrinter filters PostScript print jobs using standard protocol.
Auto*Printer processes print jobs from computers using either Windows or Macintosh operating
systems.

NPA Mode
Purpose:
To specify whether the printer performs the special processing required for bidirectional
communication, following the conventions defined in the Network Printing Alliance (NPA) Protocol.

Parallel Buffer
Purpose:
To configure the size of the parallel input buffer.

OnPrinter performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data.
OffPrinter does not perform NPA processing.
Auto*Printer examines data and determines the format and then processes it appropriately.
DisabledDisables the parallel port.
Auto*Printer automatically calculates the Parallel Buffer size (recommended
setting).
3K to maximum
size allowedUser specifies the Parallel Buffer size. The maximum size depends on the
amount of memory in your 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, infrared, LocalTalk,
and USB buffers.

Parallel Mode 1
Purpose:
To control the pull-up resistors on the parallel port signals. This menu item is useful for personal
computers that have open collector outputs on the parallel port signals.
Va l u e s :
Parallel Mode 2
Purpose:
To determine whether the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of strobe.
Va l u e s :
PCL SmartSwitch
Purpose:
To configure the printer so it automatically switches to PCL emulation when a print job received
through the parallel port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.

OnDisables the resistors.
Off*Enables the resistors.
On*Samples parallel port data on the leading edge of strobe.
OffSamples parallel port data on the trailing edge of strobe.
On*Printer examines data on the parallel interface and selects PCL emulation if the data
indicates that is the required printer language.
OffPrinter does not examine the incoming data. The printer uses PostScript emulation 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.

Honor DSR
Purpose:
To determine whether the printer uses the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal. DSR is one of the
handshaking signals for most serial interface cables.
Va l u e s :
The serial interface uses DSR to distinguish data sent by the computer from data created by electrical
noise in the serial cable. This electrical noise can cause stray characters to print. Select On to prevent
stray characters from printing.
Job Buffering
Purpose:
To specify whether the printer temporarily stores jobs on the hard disk before printing.
