Field Description
AppleTalk Zone Sets the AppleTalk zone having access to the print server. The zone name can be up to 32
characters long. The default “*” enables all AppleTalk zones to use the printer(s) connected to the
print server.
Printer Type Sets the printer type. The default, LaserWriter, is used for most AppleTalk printers. If you have an
Epson printer that supports AppleTalk, it has a different printer type, found in the Epson printer
manual or web site. The
SBG1000 print server only responds to the Chooser if the AppleTalk zone
and printer type are the same.
Communication
Protocol Standard - if the printer uses a communication protocol that supports sending and receiving ASCII
data. The Standard protocol is typically supported on devices using RS-232 and centronics
channels. The default is ASCII.
Binary Communication Protocol (
BCP ) - if the printer can send and receive binary data. BCP is
used by some devices for flow control, status request, abort job, and end of file functions. BCP can
provide a significant performance advantage over ASCII printing on serial and parallel ports.
Tagged Binary Communication Protocol (TBCP) - for a printer containing a language-independent
feature to determine which language interprets a print job. TBCP is typically supported by
PJL
printers.
To determine the protocol a printer supports, see the documentation provided with the printer.
