In choosing which Protocol to use, consider the following points.

Binary communication is twice as fast as ASCII

ASCII communication is more reliable

The computer, Print Server and printer MUST all be configured to use the

SAME protocol. Check your printer manual for details of printer
configuration, and use the

Print menu to configure your computer, so that

they use the same settings as the Print Server.
