it, regardless of the default printer language.

Auto

Set the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol.

Network Buffer

Auto
3KB to [maximum size allowed]

Set the size of the network input buffer.

Notes:

Auto is the factory default setting.

The value can be changed in 1KB 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 Network Buffer, disable or
reduce the size of the parallel, serial, and USB 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.

Auto buffers print jobs only when 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.
