Lexmark 3455 manual Ipds Timeout

4.3.14 IPDS Timeout

This option either allows the host to directly control when an IPDS LAN session with a printer ends (disconnects) or allows the printer IPDS emulation to determine when an IPDS LAN session times out.

Note: The IPDS Timeout values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the printer is LAN attached using a MarkNet internal print server.

Note: This option is only available on IPDS emulation code level 8141 or higher.

The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports. While the printer is busy printing jobs from one printer port, jobs on other printer ports remain in a waiting status. When the host disconnects from the printer or when the printer IPDS emulation times out, the printer automatically switches to another printer port to start a new job.

Host Controlled should be selected as the IPDS Timeout value when the host port value is 9100 or 9102. The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100 or 9102. Host Controlled or the timeout values (15 seconds to 10 minutes) may be used when the host port value is 9600. The host port value is specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host.

Host Controlled* The printer IPDS emulation remains active until the host disconnects from the printer. Host timer/timeout values control when the host will disconnect. When the host disconnects, the printer will print jobs from other printer ports.

Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions: The host timer/timeout value should be set to a small value (15 to 30 seconds) so the host will quickly disconnect after an IPDS job is printed. All IPDS resources downloaded to the printer will be deleted when the host disconnects. A disabled or large host timer/timeout value will cause the printer IPDS emulation to remain active. The printer busy light will flash and IPDS will remain on the printer operator panel even though the printer has completed processing and printing the IPDS job.
