  • IPP - Internet Printing Protocol.
  • FTP put - File Transfer Protocol.
  • LPD - Line Printer Deamon.
  • 9100 - Port 9100 support for Standard TCP/IP printing and the Crown Port.
  • SMB - Server Message Block-based (SMB) File and Printer Sharing on Microsoft Windows platforms.

Only the protocol 9100 supports bi-directional communication.

NetBeui supports SMB.

When multiple jobs are sent to the printer via the various interfaces, the port selector checks the following ports in the following order:

1. Network

2. USB

3. Parallel

When there are multiple jobs sent to the network interface, the Network Protocol selector will randomly select the next network job available on any of the network ports.

When one interface is being used, the IPP, Ethertalk and SMB protocol return a busy signal to the work station, where the other protocols will wait or can timeout. This will depend on the external host that determines how protocol time-outs are handled.

Simultaneous multiple protocol connections are supported but only one connection at a time can transfer data.
