Appendix B Using Services A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Service BINARY_P1 TEXT_P1 POSTSCRIPT_P1 PCL_P1 BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT BRN_xxxxxx_P1 Definition TCP/IP binary service TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed) PostScript service (switches PJLcompatible printer to PostScript mode) PCL service (switches PJLcompatible printer to PCL mode) AppleTalk service NetWare service and NetBIOS service (TCP/IP are enabled for backwards compatibility) where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_009C53_P1). Note that any of the services, not just the user-defined ones, can be modified to meet a user's particular requirements. Brother print servers provide the powerful capability to customize any of the services to meet specific user requirements through the use of setup and reset strings. Such strings are printer command sequences that are sent to the printer before or after the print job. For example, you could define one of the services to provide landscape mode printing by defining a setup string that contains the appropriate command to put the printer into landscape mode. Brother print servers provide several predefined strings for popular PCL, PostScript, and PJL (the Page Job Language used by Brother printers) commands. These include (do a SHOW SERVER STRING command in the remote console to see the available strings): A-9

Appendix B
Using Services
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print
to
the Brother
print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a
SHOW
SERVICE
command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available
services):
Service
Definition
BINARY_P1
TCP/IP binary service
TEXT_P1
TCP/IP text service (adds carriage
return after each line feed)
POSTSCRIPT_P1
PostScript service (switches PJL-
compatible printer to PostScript
mode)
PCL_P1
PCL service (switches PJL-
compatible printer to PCL mode)
BRN_
xxxxxx
_P1_AT
AppleTalk service
BRN_
xxxxxx
_P1
NetWare service and NetBIOS
service (TCP/IP are enabled for
backwards compatibility)
where "
xxxxxx
" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_009C53_P1).
Note that any of the services, not just the user-defined ones, can be modified to meet a user's
particular requirements.
Brother print servers
provide the powerful capability to customize any of the services to meet
specific user requirements through the use of setup and reset strings. Such strings are printer
command sequences that are sent to the printer before or after the print job. For example, you
could define one of the services to provide landscape mode printing by defining a setup string
that contains the appropriate command to put the printer into landscape mode.
Brother print servers
provide several predefined strings for popular PCL, PostScript, and PJL
(the Page Job Language used by Brother printers) commands. These include (do a
