Use this page to configure the print server for AppleTalk printing:
Printer > CONFIGURATION — Apple page fields
Field Description
AppleTalk Zone Sets the AppleTalk zone having access to the print ser ver. The zone name can be up to 32
characters long. The default “*” enables all AppleTalk zones to use the printer(s) connected to
the print server.
Printer Type Sets the printer type. The default, LaserWriter, is used for most Apple Talk printers. If you have
an Epson printer that supports AppleTalk, it has a different printer type, found in the Epson
printer manual or web site. The SBG1000 print server only responds to the Chooser if the
AppleTalk zone and printer type are the same.
Communication Protocol Standard - if the printer uses a communication protocol that supports sending and receiving
ASCII data. The Standard protocol is typically supported on devices using RS-232 and
centronics channels. The default is ASCII.
Binary Communication Protocol (BCP) - if the printer can send and rece ive binary data. BCP is
used by some devices for flow control, status request, abort job, and end of file functions. BCP
can provide a significant performance advantage over ASCII printing on ser ial and parallel
ports.
Tagged Binary Communication Protocol (TBCP) - for a printer containing a
language-independent feature to determine which language interpre ts a print job. TBCP is
typically supported by PJL printers.
To determine the protocol a printer supports, see the documentation provided with the printer.
