Timeouts

Setting a PostScript Emulation Timeout

The PostScript emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds the PostScript emulation waits for incoming data.

Menu

Administration/Communications/Timeouts/PS Wait Timeout

 

 

Choices

00000-99999

 

 

Default

00030 (30 sec.)

 

However, when a print job is sent from a Macintosh, the PS

 

Wait timeout is automatically changed to 00300 (5 min.).

 

 

Notes

A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout.)

 

The job is closed and the next job in the queue begins if all of

 

the following occur:

 

n No additional data is received during the

 

specified period of time.

 

n The interface didn’t time out.

 

n An EOD (end-of-document commands) was

 

not seen.

 

Large print jobs, such as those generated by graphics or

 

computer-aided design applications, require that this number

 

be increased to 00300 (5 min.).
