Make the appropriate settings for the selected port.

LPR Enhanced Printing: Select the LPR print radio button, and then specify the queue name (up to 32 characters). LPR enhanced print-send print jobs to target network devices without having to spool all the printed data. LPR enhanced printing is faster than LPR standard printing.
LPR Standard Printing: Select the File size check box, and then specify the queue name (up to 32 characters). Print data is spooled by the computer before it is sent to a network target device.
Comments:
When printing data size exceeds 20MB, we recommend using LPR enhanced printing.

High-Speed printing: Select the high-speed print (RAW) radio button. The Epson High speed print Port sends print tasks to the target network device without spooling all the printed data. High-speed printing is faster than any of the other two printing methods.
