Canon Laser Shot LBP5970 User Manual page 264

Specifies the mode in which this printer operates when you print without using the
printer driver for this printer.
You can specify whether the printer automatically switches the print mode
according to the data sent from the computer or you use the printer with the print
mode fixed at the PCL mode, the PS mode, the IMAGING mode, or the PDF1.5
mode.
AUTO SELECTION: (Auto-Switch Mode)
Automatically detects which command is used for the data sent from the computer
and switches the print mode. If you want to print from an application, normally use
this mode.
The default value is AUTO SELECTION.
NOTE
Any of the modes can be automatically switched to by default, however, you can
restrict the mode to be automatically switched to. For more details, see "AUTO
SWITCH," on p. 5-68.
