2.4. Timeout
The
Xerox LS 3270
enables printer sharing between the system
and a PC. For this purpose it is possible to specify a timeout
period.
If the printer is receiving input on the parallel port, for example,
and there is a break in the transmission of data, the other input
ports will not be polled for the period speci fied.
The factory default timeout is 20 seconds. The timeout may be
changed to suit your requirements. This is done by sending a new
setup to the
Xerox LS 3270
input port where you want it to take
effect. See
Chapter 4. Specifying Timeout
.
When specifying the timeout it is also possible to specify a user
string. A user string may be used for changing from one symbol set
(e.g. Roman 8) to another (e.g. IBM -PC8), for example.
NOTE:
Settings on the coax input port are automatically
reestablished after another input port has been
using the printer.
On the parallel input port, you have to program the
required setup yourself.
For more detailed information on the commands required, see
Chapter 5, Specifying Timeout
