AppleTalk
Configuration
Command
As discussed in the HP LaserJet 4 section of this chapter,
the AppleTalk Configuration command allows a user to
send PCL jobs to the printer over AppleTalk. In addition to
the key values previously discussed (RENAME, TYPE, and
JOB), the HP Color LaserJet printer also supports the
ZONE key value as follows.
ZONE
ZONE changes the zone field of the printer’s AppleTalk
Network Identifier (Name Binding Protocol type field).
?&b#WZONE<sp>zonename
Valid characters for the zone name include 0-255 except for
characters $00, “@” ($40), “:” ($3A), “*” ($2A), “=” ($3D),
$C5, and ($FF). The zone name must contain at least one
character, and only the first 31 characters are used. If the
zone is invalid, then the printer’s zone is not changed. Zone
changes only occur after the present job has completed.
