binary transfer you reduce printing time, provided that the print job is

TBCP enables the print server to use the TBCP (Tagged Binary
Communication Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select
this alternative when using Postscript printers.
BCP enables the print server to use the BCP (Binary Communications
•
Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select this alternative

In AppleTalk, you can change a limited number of the parameters of the
AXIS 5570e. You can:
•
enable and disable binary data transfers for your printing
•
select the type of binary transfer protocol to use
•
specify the AppleTalk printer type
•
set the IP address
However, by assigning an IP address to your print server, you have access
to all of the print server parameters via any standard Web browser or via
FTP. Refer to "Management and Configuration" on page 127 for more
information.
The following example describes how you set the print server parameters
in AppleTalk.
