The default is 50 tenths of a second and the rate can be set to 0 or to any number in the range of 20 to 255 tenths of a second. If the printer polling rate is 0, the printer status will not be updated.

The printer polling rate and busy timeout time describe interactions between the LAN card and the Silentwriter. The status polling rate and response timeout describe interactions between the NEC 1765 software and the LAN card.
