AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

 

You should specify if you want to enable or disable binary transfer of 

print data in the print server’s Web interface (Admin | Network Settings 

| Detailed View | Macintosh | Binary Protocol for Printer n. By enabling 

binary transfer you reduce printing time, provided that the print job is 

sent as binary data to the print server. This is particular true when you are 

printing large bitmaps.

•

TBCP enables the print server to use the TBCP (Tagged Binary 
Communication Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select 
this alternative when using Postscript printers.

•

BCP enables the print server to use the BCP (Binary Communications 
Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select this alternative 
when using Postscript printers.

•

None disables all binary transfers, select this alternative for all non-
PostScript printers and for ASCII PostScript printing.

 

In AppleTalk, you can change a limited number of the parameters of the 

AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550. You can:

•

enable and disable binary data transfers for your printing

•

select the type of binary transfer protocol to use

•

specify the AppleTalk printer type

•

set the IP address

However, by assigning an IP address to your print server, you have access 

to all of the print server parameters via any standard Web browser or via 

FTP. Refer to Section 10  Management and Configuration, on page 88 for 

more information.

For information on advanced AppleTalk functions such as non-PostScript 
printer support, please refer to the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 Technical 
Reference on the Axis Web site.

•  If you have have set the Autodetect Printer Type parameter to YES, the text output format 

will be chosen automatically (Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | Macintosh | 
Auto Detect Printer n Type | Yes).

•  Some printers, e.g. Epson InkJet printers, can not be used when TBCP is enabled.
