Description

serial interface port should be considered as a
job to be scheduled for execution.
ENA: YES
Data to the serial port is accepted as a job.
ENA: no

interpretation, but an interpreter may be able
to read the port as PostScript data.
SER: INTERPRETER
Determines the type of executable job the
arriving data represents.
INT: POSTSCRIPT
The serial port is set to recognize a PostScript
file.
INT: pcl4
The serial port is set to recognize a PCL file.
SER: PROTOCOL

on the printer.
PRO: NORMAL
Certain control characters have special
meanings and indicate something about
the job being received. ‘‘Normal’’ is used only
with the PostScript interpreter.
PRO: raw
Everything received by the device driver
is data to be passed on, unchanged, to the
printer emulator. ‘‘Raw’’ is used only by
the PCL4 emulator, not by the PostScript
interpreter.
PRO: binary
The full range of 8-bit data can be sent.
Emulators and the PostScript interpreter can
use this mode.
Note: It is recommended to
not use ‘‘binary’’ unless an Adobe Print Driver
is being used. Refer to the Adobe Binary
Communications Protocol, Technical Note
#5081, (May 4, 1991).
