When the 'Personality' is set to [Auto], the machine detects the control commands
and starts printing in the appropriate mode. After all the data has been received
and the end of the data is detected, the print mode stops. This processing of print
data is called a job.
If the data for a job does not end, the machine does not start the next job even if it
receives other print commands. In cases like this, use the 'Timeout' setting to
force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of time.
If Timeout is enabled, jobs can finish automatically. For example, if print data still
remains in the machine because a form feed command cannot be processed, the
paper can be fed automatically.
If Timeout is [Off], jobs will not end automatically.
IMPORTANT
If this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job
before all the data has been received if it takes a long time for the PC to send the
data. If this occurs, adjust the length of the 'Timeout' setting.
If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the
Staple and Punch settings have been completed.
If you send data from a printer driver that is not compatible with the machine, and
the end of job command is not received within the time set in this setting, the
machine cancels the job, which may cause the data to be printed incorrectly.
NOTE
When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data indicator on the control panel
blinks green.
