The main advantage of using the Binary and Binary Fixed PS protocol modes when
sending binary data is that these modes compress the data stream allowing your doc-
uments to be smaller so you can send smaller jobs to the printer. For example, some
device drivers can format bit map images as binary data instead of as ASCII hex data.
&
To implement PS protocol for sending binary data on your system you need a device
driver available with some applications or operating systems, or you can alternatively
use a program to read the data and write out the quoted characters. See your QMS
vendor for any available information on device drivers or binary filter programs.
QBinary (Quoted Binary)—Enables binary
communications protocol. Print jobs can alter this
value through PostScript operators. Data in the
printable ASCII range also prints. Use the special
quoting mechanism for the special characters
and ^D (EOF).

Notes
A data stream sent through the serial or parallel interface using Binary is
treated the same as a data stream sent through an optional network interface
using QBinary. However, a data stream sent through an optional network
interface using QBinary is not treated the same as a data stream sent through
the same interface using Binary.
