Setting the timeouts

Each driver provides the ability to change default timeout settings. Refer to the documentation for your computer’s operating system for information accessing these settings.

To access the timeout settings

Windows 95

1.In the Printers window, click the Phaser 560 printer icon.

2.Select Properties from the menu.

3.Click the Details tab.

4.Set the Timeout settings.

Windows 3.1

1.From the Control Panel, double-click Printers.

2.Select your printer and click either of the following:

a.Connect and Timeouts for the Tektronix printer driver.

b.Setup and Features for the Adobe PostScript driver.

3.Set the Timeout settings.

To change the timeout settings

Device Not Selected

Type a value from 0 to 999 to change the number of seconds that Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line. The default is

15seconds.

Transmission Retry

Type a value between 45 and 999; the default setting is 45 seconds.

On large or multiple-page documents you may see an Alert message that the printer is no longer accepting data before the job is completely sent to the printer. When using a shared printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes) to avoid these unnecessary timeouts.
