Windows timeout: From DOS (and Windows 3.1)

Note To use this procedure, the printer must be connected directly to your computer, not on a network.

MODE LPT1:,,P

2.Start Windows 3.1.

3.Open the Control Panel from the Main menu.

4.Double-click the Printers icon to open the Printers dialog box.

5.Click the Connect button to open the Connect dialog box.

6.Change the port selection from LPT1 to either LPT1.DOS or LPT1.OS2, depending on the options you see in the dialog box.

7.Click OK.

Printer’s timeout

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

You can use the Set Timeouts (Macintosh) or TIMEOUTS.PS (PC) Þle to change the PostScript and HP-GL job and wait timeout values. When sent to the printer, your edited version of the timeouts 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 Þle to the printer again. Any drivers that allow the job timeout and wait timeout values to be changed will override the printers timeout settings when using that driver. These include the Adobe driver, Windows 95 driver and Windows NT drivers. The Macintosh LaserWriter drivers (versions 7.1.2 and 8) automatically set only the wait timeout to 300 seconds.
