4. Specifying Timeout
In order to specify the timeout for a specific input port, an FSL (Function Selection via the Line) sequence must be sent to the port in question. To do this a tempo rary Escape (ESC) Character must be defined first. This is done in the following way:
&&??<character>
The sequence "&&??%" will define "%" as the ESC Character.
Timeout is specified in FSL Function 100 . This function has the following syntax ("%" is the ESC Character):
%Y100,<timeout>[,user string]%
Factory default = 20 seconds
Timeout: | 0 to 255 indicating number of seconds |
User string: Optional - string in HEX to be sent to the printer before transmission of data, when the printer is selected by the share unit.
If function 100 is sent to the coax, a user string number can be defined instead of a HEX string. The user string then has to be defined in function 61.
NOTE:
The Timeout string must be written in ONE line (see example overleaf).
The user string and settings will only be sent if a share condition has occurred.
