Sharing The iSeries Printer On The Network

To support printer sharing, your printer automatically switches among all attached ports (serial, twinax/coax, LAN). Basically, the printer prints jobs for one port until no new jobs appear and the port “times out.” The printer then switches to the next port and does the same thing.

To change the default “time out” value for a port, update the

TIMEOUT value for the port on the appropriate menu (Serial

Interface, Ethernet Parameters, Twinax Interface, or Coax

Interface).
