Xerox 4520mp manual Port Polling With a Hard Disk Installed, Auto Job End is On

Except for those on the LocalTalk interface, print jobs are processed in the sequence in which they are received by the printer. As soon as one print job has finished, the printer continues polling until it finds another port that has received data.

If a print job is incomplete, the printer waits until the port is inactive for the Port Timeout period. After that, the printer ends the incomplete job and continues polling the ports when either:

•Auto Job End is On

or

•Another print job is received on a port

Therefore, the printer does not excessively service one particular port.

You may set the Port Timeout period and Auto Job End on the Control Panel or with the RUI. For additional information on Port Timeout or Auto Job End, either see Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel, or refer to the Document Services for Printing Guide.

Port Polling With a Hard Disk Installed

When a hard disk is installed, the printer can spool print jobs from the parallel and serial ports. The print jobs are spooled, without any processing, onto the hard disk. Jobs are then processed in the order in which they were received.
