|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 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 |

| |
| Data Timeout* |

|
|
|
| accept data from another interface until that port is closed by the host. |
