•
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

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
