		have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anythin other than Staus 5 or Standard (none) is
		not recommended.
		•	Status 5 - factory default. Most advanced of the options. This status is the most recent and
			represented in the interface specifications. For more information, refer to the appropriate
Comm. Protocol

ETHERNET PORT
		Is a menu subset of the Ethernet Port option. Will move into the Timeout menu.
ETHERNET PORT
Timeout
		This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected
		Port Types for data print. When the printer has not received data from the host after a certain
Timeout
		period of time, it must timeout in order to service other ports.
10 sec*
		The factory default of 10 seconds with an allowable range of 1 to 60 seconds.
		Determines when other ports are active and able to communicate with the printer when the
		Ethernet interface is not in use.
		•	Data Timeout - factory default. The other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data
			to the printer when the timeout setting has been reached. This setting is adjustable via the
Switch Out On
Data Timeout*			display menu item Timeout.
		•	Session Close - the other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data to the printer
			when the port has been closed. Example: If a RAW port of 9100 is open, the printer will not
			accept data from another interface until that port is closed by the host.
		Is the menu selection screen for the Ethernet Setting option of the INTERFACES mode.
