Data format This control specifies the protocol that the device uses for print jobs. The following options are available: ● ASCII data. This is the default setting. Click ASCII data to send data 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 device 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. Select this option, click Send Mode to switch the device to Binary Communications Protocol (BCP) for future print jobs. NOTE This option is available only if the computer is connected to the device through a direct connection (a USB or parallel cable). ● Tagged binary communications protocol. Click Tagged Binary Communications Protocol to send all data except special control characters 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. Click Pure binary data to send all data except special control characters 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 device is reset at the beginning of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Pressing Ctrl-D resets the device 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 device is connected through a network. If the document fails to print when sent to a device 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 device is reset at the end of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Ctrl-D resets the device 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 device is connected through a network. If the document fails to print when sent to a network device, 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. 198 Chapter 4 HP traditional print drivers for MS Windows ENWW

This control specifies whether the device is reset at the end of every postscript document. The default
setting is off (unselected). Ctrl-D resets the device 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 device is connected
