PS Protocol This option sets the binary communications protocol
(BCP) for communicating over a serial, parallel, or
optional network interface to a PostScript printer. BCP
allows any 8-bit binary value (0-255) to be treated as
data while allowing a few of the values to function as
special control characters.
Four choices are available through the PS Protocol
submenu for the serial interface. The default is normal.
Normal: Enables standard, ASCII hex protocol. Data
is sent and received in ASCII format. Print jobs can
alter this value through PostScript operators.
Normal Fixed: Enables standard, ASCII hex protocol.
Print jobs cannot alter this value through PostScript
operators.
BinaryEnables binary communications protocol
(BCP). Print jobs can alter this value through
PostScript operators.
