Setting PostScript and HP-GL job and wait timeouts
Note
The HP-GL job timeout is the same as the PostScript job timeout.
The
CONFIG.PS
Þle changes the PostScript and HP-GL job and wait timeout
values. Changes are persistent across print jobs but not across printer
power cycles.
■
The
wait timeout
is the amount of time in seconds that the printer
waits for data to come from the computer during a job. If the
printer pauses for longer than the speciÞed number of seconds,
the job is discarded.
■
The
job timeout
is the amount of time any single job may be active
before it must print. In PostScript mode, if the value is exceeded, a
timeout
error is generated. In HP-GL mode, if the timeout value is
too small, an image may be split across two pages; if the value is
too large, multiple-page prints may be combined on one page.
Note
This Þle affects printer operation. If the printer is shared on a
network, using this Þle may affect the prints requested from
other users.
1.
ConÞgure the printer port to receive PostScript.
2.
Locate the
CONFIG.PS
Þle in the
PHSR220
directory on the Printer
Utilities diskette.
3.
The default values for the printer are
0
seconds for the job timeout
and
40
seconds for the wait timeout. A timeout value of
0
indicates no timeout; the printer waits indeÞnitely.
