C/T Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It
allows the printer to serve hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either
coax or twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
Port Type
Selects the type of port to be used. The Disable selection disables the port
from the hotport process. The available selections are:
•
Twinax (the default)
•
Coax
•
Disable
NOTE: Changing the Port Type in this menu option also changes the Port
Type setting in the Coax Interface Menu.
Timeout
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and
check the other ports for data to print. When the printer has not received data
from the host after the specified period of time, it needs to Timeout to service
the other ports. The available selections are:
•
15 Seconds (the default)
•
10 to 180 Seconds.
Report Status
•
Disable (the default). A fault on the printer is reported only if it occurs on
the active port.
•
Enable. The faults are reported even if the fault is not on the current
active port.
