A settings printout can also be generated at power-on by activating function Y120 2.

2.4. Timeout

The Xerox LS 3270 enables printer sharing between the system and a PC. For this purpose it is possible to specify a timeout period.

If the printer is receiving input on the parallel port, for example, and there is a break in the transmission of data, the other input ports will not be polled for the period speci fied.

The factory default timeout is 20 seconds. The timeout may be changed to suit your requirements. This is done by sending a new setup to the Xerox LS 3270 input port where you want it to take effect. See Chapter 4. Specifying Timeout.

When specifying the timeout it is also possible to specify a user string. A user string may be used for changing from one symbol set (e.g. Roman 8) to another (e.g. IBM -PC8), for example.

NOTE:

Settings on the coax input port are automatically reestablished after another input port has been using the printer.

On the parallel input port, you have to program the required setup yourself.

For more detailed information on the commands required, see Chapter 5, Specifying Timeout.

2For details on how to define the ESC character %, please see Chapter 5.
