Protocol
2-59
Printer Interface Configuration
Normal Fixed—Enables standard, ASCII (7-bit) hex
protocol over serial, parallel, and CrownNet interfaces.
Print jobs cannot change this setting through PostScript
operators.
QBinary—Enables quoted binary communications protocol
(BCP) over the CrownNet interface only. Print jobs can
change this setting through PostScript operators. Data in
the printable ASCII range also prints. Use the special
quoting mechanism (see the following section) for the
special characters and ^D (EOF).
QBinary Fixed—Enables quoted binary communications
protocol (BCP) over the CrownNet interface only. Print
jobs cannot alter change this setting through PostScript
operators. Data in the printable ASCII range also prints.

Default Normal
Effectivity Once you put the printer back on line, changes to this menu
take effect for the next job received over the interface.
Notes A data stream sent through the CrownNet interface using
QBinary or QBinary Fixed is treated the same as a data
stream sent through the serial or parallel interface using
Binary or Binary Fixed, respectively. In other words, QBinary
and QBinary Fixed let you take a file quoted for Binary or
Binary Fixed over the serial or parallel interface and send it
to the printer over the CrownNet interface.
A data stream sent through the CrownNet interface using
QBinary or QBinary Fixed is not treated the same as a data
stream sent through the same interface using Binary or
Binary Fixed. QBinary and QBinary Fixed are used to send
quoted BCP files over the CrownNet interface while Binary
and Binary Fixed are used to send raw files over the
CrownNet interface.
