Lexmark X792 Manual

							Menu itemDescription
NPA Mode
Auto
On
OffSets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol
Notes:
Auto is the factory default setting.
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Parallel Buffer
Auto
3KB to [maximum size allowed]
DisabledSets the size of the parallel input buffer
Notes:
Auto is the factory default setting.
Disabled turns off job buffering. Any print jobs already buffered on the printer
hard disk are printed before normal processing resumes.
The parallel buffer size setting can be changed in 1‑KB increments.
The maximum size allowed 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 increase the maximum size range for the Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the USB, serial, and network buffers.
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Job Buffering
Off
On
AutoTemporarily stores print jobs on the printer hard disk before printing
Notes:
Off is the factory default setting.
On buffers print jobs on the printer hard disk.
Auto buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another
input port.
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Advanced Status
On
OffEnables bidirectional communication through the parallel port
Notes:
On is the factory default setting.
Off disables parallel port negotiation.
Protocol
Fastbytes
StandardSpecifies the parallel port protocol
Notes:
Fastbytes is the factory default setting. It provides compatibility with most
existing parallel ports and is the recommended setting.
Standard tries to resolve parallel port communication problems.

							Menu itemDescription
Honor Init
Off
OnDetermines if the printer honors printer hardware initialization requests from the
computer
Notes:
Off is the factory default setting.
The computer requests initialization by activating the Init signal from the
parallel port. Many personal computers activate the Init signal each time the
computer is turned on.
Parallel Mode 2
On
OffDetermines if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of a
strobe
Note: On is the factory default setting.
Mac Binary PS

Menu itemDescription
PCL SmartSwitch
On
OffSets the printer to automatically switch to PCL emulation when a print job received
through a serial port requires it, regardless of the default printer language
Notes:
On is the factory default setting.
When set to Off, the printer does not examine incoming data. The printer uses
PostScript emulation if PS SmartSwitch is set to On. It uses the default printer
language specified in the Setup menu if PS SmartSwitch is set to Off.

PS SmartSwitch
On
OffSets the printer to automatically switch to PS emulation when a print job received
through a serial port requires it, regardless of the default printer language
Notes:
On is the factory default setting.

PCL emulation if PCL SmartSwitch is set to On. It uses the default printer
language specified in the Setup menu if PCL SmartSwitch is set to Off.
NPA Mode
Auto
On
OffSets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol
Notes:
Auto is the factory default setting. Auto sets the printer to examine data,
determine the format, and then processes it appropriately.
When set to On, the printer performs NPA processing. If the data is not in NPA
format, it is rejected as bad data.
When set to Off, the printer does not perform NPA processing.
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Serial Buffer
Auto
3KB to [maximum size allowed]
DisabledSets the size of the serial input buffer
Notes:
Auto is the factory default setting.
Disabled turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the disk are
printed before normal processing is resumed.
The serial buffer size setting can be changed in 1‑KB increments.
The maximum size allowed 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 increase the maximum size range for the Serial Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the parallel, serial, and network buffers.
Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is then updated.
Job Buffering
Off
On
AutoTemporarily stores print jobs on the printer hard disk before printing
Notes:
Off is the factory default setting. The printer does not buffer print jobs on the
printer hard disk.

OnDetermines whether the printer uses the DSR Signal
Notes:
Off is the factory default setting.
DSR is a handshaking signal used by most serial cables. The serial port uses
DSR to distinguish data sent by the computer from data created by electrical
noise in the serial cable. The electrical noise can cause stray characters to
print. Set this to On to prevent stray characters from printing.
