Reverse Channel Data Timeout

This command (on the advanced features menu) determines whether or not to reset the timeout clock when data is received on port O "reverse channel data". When this feature is enabled, reverse channel data resets the timeout clock. When this feature is disabled, reverse channel data does not reset the timeout clock. Because some printers, particularly the HP LaserJet. send X-on codes at timed intervals (robust X-on/X-off), this feature is useful when the Caretaker Plus is connected to equipment which uses robust X-on/X-off. When this option is disabled, the Caretaker Plus allows the port to timeout; otherwise, the port would never timeout because of the robust X-on/X-off. The factory default is the reverse channel data timeout is disabled. To change the reverse channel data timeout, enter R to the choice prompt and answer Y to enable or N to disable reverse channel data timeout.

Enter choice (U.R,A,F.X, or H for help) R<ENTER> Use reverse channel data timeout (YM)? N<ENTER>

Allow Timeout On Busy (Ports 1-8)

This command (on the advanced features menu) allows any serial port (except port O) to timeout even when the port is busy, i.e. DSR is low. The factory default is allow timeout when busy is enabled. Enter A to the choice prompt and answer Y or N to enable or disable allow timeout on busy.

Enter choice (U.R.A,F,X, or H for help) <ENTER>

Use allow timeout on busy (ports 1-8) (Y/N)7 Y<ENTER>

Filter Characters

This command (on the advanced features menu) allows a user-definable number of characters to be received before the characters are transmitted out port O. It is used if there is a problem of computers sending spurious data to a printer when the computer is turned on or off. The factory default is 0 characters, but may be changed to be from 1 to 255 characters. Enter F to the choice prompt and enter the new filter character size. Enter choice (U,R,A.F.X, or H for help) <ENTER>

Enter the filter size (0-255) <ENTER>

Return To Previous Menu

This command (on the advanced features menu) exits the advanced features menu and returns to the previous configuration menu. Enter X to the choice prompt.
