•If the printer supports printing binary files through the parallel or serial port. This option is sometimes selectable through the front panel of the printer.
•If the printer supports the HP Tagged Binary Communications Protocol. If this is the case, you must enable filter 4 on the print server AppleTalk service via the console as described in Appendix B.
Refer to your printer's documentation for additional information. If neither of the above is true, the solution is to print the files in ASCII mode, a mode that is supported in the PRINT menu of most graphics programs including QuarkXpress, Adobe Photoshop, and others. The only drawback of ASCII mode is that print times will be longer due to the increased file sizes.
Changing the Configuration (Optional)
You may use the Apple LaserWriter Utility or Apple Printer Utility (or equivalent utility from your printer manufacturer) to change the AppleTalk name of the TROY XCD print server. You may also use NCP, TELNET, XCONFIG, or the serial port to access the print server remote console to change TROY XCD print server AppleTalk name and default zone name, and to disable AppleTalk broadcasts. The exact procedure and configuration commands are described in Appendix A.
Note: A free unsupported version of TELNET is available on the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) FTP site (ftp.ncsa.edu/Mac/Telnet/Telnet2.7). This TELNET requires Mac TCP, which is standard with all new versions of the Mac OS.
