Printer’s timeout

Note This is the basic procedure for changing one of the printer’s timeout values. For more information on the printer’s timeouts, refer to the on-line manual on the printer’s CD-ROM.

You can use the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to change the PostScript and HP-GL job and wait timeout values. When sent to the printer, your edited version of the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle changes the values in the printer, but only while the printer is turned on; if the printer is turned off or reset, the values return to their defaults. To restore your desired timeout settings, you must send your edited TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to the printer again.

Note The TIMEOUTS.PS file affects printer operation. If the printer is shared on a network, using this file may affect the prints requested by other users.

1.Follow the instructions beginning on page 3-1 to install drivers and printer software.

2.Locate the PHSRTOOL directory, created on your computerÕs hard disk by the printerÕs installer. In the PHSRTOOL directory, locate the PHSR360 subdirectory, and then locate the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle.

3.Using a text editor, open the Þle. The default value is 40 seconds for the wait timeout. Change the value in the WaitTimeOut line to 999.

4.Send the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to the printer:

■PC users: Use the DOS COPY command. (Windows 3.1 users can also use the Copy command in the File Manager.)

■Workstation users: Send the Þle to the printer as you would any PostScript Þle.
