On*Printer examines data on the serial 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.

Robust XON
Purpose:
To determine whether the printer communicates availability to the computer.
Va l u e s :
This menu item only applies to the serial port if Serial Protocol is set to XON/XOFF.
RS-232/RS-422
Purpose:
To specify the type of serial communication.
Va l u e s :
Note:Selecting RS-422 automatically sets Serial Protocol to XON/XOFF.
RS-422 Polarity
Purpose:
To establish the behavior of the positive and negative signals when using RS-422 serial
communication.
Va l u e s :
Off*Printer waits to receive data from the computer.
OnPrinter sends a continuous stream of XONs to the host computer to indicate that the serial
port is ready to receive more data.
RS-232*
RS-422
Normal*Uses default definition of one and zero.
ReverseReverses the definition of one and zero, thereby allowing a positive connection to a host
computer negative terminal without changing the physical cable.

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
Serial Buffer size, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, infrared, LocalTalk,
and USB buffers.
