Printer > CONFIGURATION — Apple page fields

Field	Description
AppleTalk Zone	Sets the AppleTalk zone having access to the print server. 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 AppleTalk 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	Standard - if the printer uses a communication protocol that supports sending and receiving ASCII
Protocol	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 receive 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 serial and parallel ports.
	Tagged Binary Communication Protocol (TBCP) - for a printer containing a language-independent
	feature to determine which language interprets a print job. TBCP is typically supported by PJL
	printers.
	To determine the protocol a printer supports, see the documentation provided with the printer.
