PS Protocol

Sets the binary communications protocol (BCP) for communicating 
over a parallel interface to a PostScript printer. See chapter 5, “Addi-
tional Technical Information,” for a full discussion of PS Protocol.

Spooling Timeout

Sets the number of seconds the interface waits for data from the host 
before terminating a spooled print job.

Setting Serial Interface Parameters

Use the Administration/Communications/Serial menu to set the serial 
interface communication values used for printer-host communica-
tions. The following options are available.

Administration/Communications/Parallel/PS Protocol

Normal—Enable standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data is sent 
and received in ASCII format. This mode is recommended if 
you do not print binary data. It was designed for data in the 
printable ASCII range. Print jobs can alter the PS protocol 
value through PostScript operators.

Normal Fixed—Enable standard, ASCII hex protocol. Print 
jobs cannot alter this value through PostScript operators.

Binary—Enable binary communications protocol. Print jobs 
can alter this value through PostScript operators. Data in the 
printable ASCII range also prints. 

Binary Fixed—Enable binary communications protocol. Print 
jobs can not alter this value through PostScript operators. Data
