PS SmartSwitch
Purpose:
To configure the printer so it automatically switches to PostScript emulation when a print job received
through the infrared port requires it, regardless of the default printer language.
Va l u e s :

PCL SmartSwitch;Printer Language
Transmit Delay
Purpose:
To define the amount of time, in seconds, the printer must wait before transmitting meaningful infrared
data to the host computer, as well as the amount of time the printer requests that the host computer
wait before transmitting infrared data.
Va l u e s :
On*Printer examines data on the infrared interface and selects PostScript emulation if the data
indicates that is the required printer language.
OffPrinter 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.
Auto*Printer sets the Transmit Delay value during a power-on reset to maximize link
performance (recommended).
NoneNo delay is imposed by the printer. However, not all host computers can communicate
without some transmission delays.
1...15User selects a Transmit Delay value between 1 and 15 seconds. If you have trouble
printing using the infrared port, selecting a high Transmit Delay value, such as 15, may
resolve the problem.

Window Size
Purpose:
To specify the maximum number of infrared frames the printer can receive before sending an
acknowledgment to the host computer.
Va l u e s :
Auto*Printer sets the Window Size value during a power-on reset to maximize link performance
(recommended).
1User sets the Window Size to one frame (1). If you have trouble printing using the infrared
port, changing the Window Size menu item to 1 may resolve the problem.

Auto*Printer automatically calculates LocalTalk Buffer size (recommended).
6K to maximum
size allowedUser specifies the LocalTalk 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
LocalTalk Buffer size, disable or reduce the size of the parallel, serial, network,
infrared, and USB buffers.
Disabled*Disables the LocalTalk port and all other menu items in the LocalTalk Menu.

OffPrinter does not perform NPA processing.
Auto*Printer examines the data to determine the format and then processes it appropriately.
On*Printer examines data on the LocalTalk 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.

Understanding printer messages
The printer operator panel displays messages describing the current state of the printer and indicates
possible printer problems you must resolve. This topic provides a list of all printer messages, explains
what they mean, and tells you how to clear the messages.
Click a letter or number at the bottom of the page to locate information about a message beginning
with that character.
