parallel port requires it, regardless of the default printer
language.
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.
Parallel Configures the size of the parallel input buffer.
Buffer
NOTE: Changing this menu item automatically resets the
printer.
Advanced Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel
Status port.
Protocol Specifies the parallel interface protocol.
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.
Parallel Determines whether the parallel port data is sampled on the
Mode 2 leading or trailing edge of strobe.
Mac Binary Configures the printer to process Macintosh binary PostScript
PS print jobs.
NetWare
Use this menu selection to view or change the printer NetWare settings.
Menu selection: Purpose:
View Login Name Displays the assigned NetWare login
name.
View Print Mode Displays the assigned NetWare print
mode.
View Network Displays the assigned NetWare number.

feature.
Ethernet 802.2 Sets the Ethernet 802.2 value On or Off.
Ethernet 802.3 Sets the Ethernet 802.3 value On or Off.
Ethernet Type II Sets the Ethernet Type II value On or Off.
Ethernet SNAP Sets the Ethernet SNAP value On or Off.

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
SmartSwitch is Off.
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.
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 User specifies the Parallel Buffer size. The maximum size
maximum depends on the amount of memory in the printer, the size of the
size other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or
allowed Off. To maximize the range for the Parallel Buffer size, disable or
reduce the size of the serial and USB buffers.
Off Disables parallel port negotiation.
On* Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel
interface.
Standard May resolve some parallel interface problems.
Fastbytes* Provides compatibility with most existing parallel interface
implementations (recommended setting).
Off* Printer does not honor hardware initialization requests from the
computer.
On Printer honors hardware initialization requests from the
computer.
On* Samples parallel port data on the leading edge of strobe.
Off Samples parallel port data on the trailing edge of strobe.
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.
Values:
Selecting View Login Name displays the NetWare name on the operator panel.
