These settings determine whether the port uses ASCII or Binary
Communication Protocol. Enter NO for ASCII or YES for Binary. The lines
refer to the following ports.

Parallel Port 1
3102 AP_PCOMM2:
Parallel Port 2
3103 AP_PCOMM3:
Serial Port

In choosing which Protocol to use, consider the following points.
•
Binary communication is twice as fast as ASCII
•
ASCII communication is more reliable
•
The computer, Print Server and printer MUST all be configured to use the
SAME protocol. Check your printer manual for details of printer
configuration, and use the
Print menu to configure your computer, so that
they use the same settings as the Print Server.
