Data format, Send CTRL+D before job, Restore Defaults

Page 217 highlights

Data format This control specifies the protocol that the product uses for print jobs. The following options are available: ● ASCII data. This is the default setting. When you click ASCII data, data is sent in ASCII format (7bit), which might take longer to print but can be sent through any I/O channel, such as a serial, parallel, or network port. ● Binary communications protocol. When you click Binary communications protocol, the product sends all data except special control characters in binary (8-bit) format. This format can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and is faster than sending data in ASCII format. If you select this option, click Send Mode to switch the product to Binary Communications Protocol (BCP) for future print jobs. NOTE This option is available only if the computer is connected to the product through a direct connection (a USB or parallel cable). ● Tagged binary communications protocol. When you click Tagged Binary Communications Protocol, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format. ● Pure binary data. When you click Pure binary data, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format. Send CTRL+D before job This control specifies whether the product is reset at the beginning of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Pressing Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that previous print jobs do not affect the current print job. Using Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a product that is connected through parallel or serial ports, select the Send CTRL+D before job check box. Send CTRL+D after job This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the end of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that future print jobs are not affected by the current print job. Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a network product, click to select the Send CTRL+D before job check box. Restore Defaults Click Restore Defaults to reset the values on the PostScript tab to their original values.

Data format
This control specifies the protocol that the product uses for print jobs. The following options are available:
ASCII data
. This is the default setting. When you click
ASCII data
, data is sent in ASCII format (7-
bit), which might take longer to print but can be sent through any I/O channel, such as a serial,
parallel, or network port.
Binary communications protocol
. When you click
Binary communications protocol
, the
product sends all data except special control characters in binary (8-bit) format. This format can
be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and is faster than sending data in ASCII format.
If you select this option, click
Send Mode
to switch the product to Binary Communications Protocol
(BCP) for future print jobs.
NOTE
This option is available only if the computer is connected to the product through a
direct connection (a USB or parallel cable).
Tagged binary communications protocol
. When you click
Tagged Binary Communications
Protocol
, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary
formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data
in ASCII format.
Pure binary data
. When you click
Pure binary data
, all data except special control characters is
sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications
ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format.
Send CTRL+D before job
This control specifies whether the product is reset at the beginning of every postscript document. The
default setting is off (unselected). Pressing
Ctrl-D
resets the product to its default setting to ensure that
previous print jobs do not affect the current print job. Using
Ctrl-D
might cause a print job to fail if the
product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a product that is
connected through parallel or serial ports, select the
Send CTRL+D before job
check box.
Send CTRL+D after job
This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the end of every postscript document. The
default setting is off (unselected). Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that future
print jobs are not affected by the current print job. Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is
connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a network product, click to
select the
Send CTRL+D before job
check box.
Restore Defaults
Click
Restore Defaults
to reset the values on the
PostScript
tab to their original values.
