Regarding the type setting, you could derive your own component which keeps a flag of the last type sent (binary or ascii) and before doing any store or retrieve you could check if the binary property matched your flag. If not, send the TYPE command and update your flag. This will avoid repeatedly sending the command, but will mean you don't have to worry about the wrong type being set, as long as the binary property is set as you want before an operation.
