Timeouts

Notes	If you used the Administration/Engine/Inputbin x Name options
	to change the names of the inputbins, these names replace
	Multipurpose, Lower, and Optional in the message window.

Timeouts

You can configure a number of printer timeout settings to set a limit to the amount of time the printer waits to perform a certain task.

Setting an Emulation Timeout

The emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds emulations other than PostScript (such as HP-GL, HP PCL 5, and Line- printer) wait for incoming data.

Menu	Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout
Choices	00000-99999
Default	00005 (5 sec.)
Notes	A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).
	When selecting a baud rate of 2400 or below (Administration/
	Communications/Serial/Baud Rate menu), increase the
	emulation timeout value as follows:
	Baud Rate	Emulation Timeout (seconds)
	2400	10*
	1200	20
	600	40
	300	80
	*A baud rate of 2400 works with a 5-second emulation timeout
	value, but there is no margin for delays between characters.

Setting an ESP Timeout

The ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor) timeout is the maximum number of seconds the printer uses to match an emulation before
