It is still possible to plot dynamically through Print Master if required. When plotting in this fashion, you would probably need to increase the input inactivity timeout value to a higher number than factory default (20 seconds). Plotting dynamically would not allow you to utilize the buffering capabilities of Print Master because the data stream from the computer is not continuous. The dynamic method of plotting would allow only one user at a time access to the plotter due to the fact that the plotter can only respond back to the user who is currently connected through Print Master.
All Print Master models have a green power LED and either six, eight, or ten red activity LEDs. The green power LED will illuminate whenever power is applied to the unit. The red LEDs indicate activity on the respective port(s) when illuminated while the unit is in operation mode. All red LEDs will illuminate briefly when the unit first powers up and goes through its
When a computer sends a print job to Print Master, the LED for the computer port and the selected printer port will illuminate. The computer LED will remain illuminated until a disconnection occurs as described in Section 6.2.5. The printer LED will typically remain illuminated until the connection with the sending computer is terminated. However, the printer LED may remain illuminated in the event multiple computers are sending print jobs to that printer simultaneously or if the printer attached to it goes off line (e.g., runs out of paper).
Whenever configuration mode for the model 706A or 708A is accessed (see Section 7.1), all red activity LEDs will illuminate.
