You can configure a number of printer timeout settings to set a limit to
the amount of time the printer waits to perform a certain task.
The emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds emula-
tions other than PostScript (such as HP-GL, HP PCL 5, and Line-
printer) wait for incoming data.
The ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor) timeout is the maximum
number of seconds the printer uses to match an emulation before

Menu Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout
Choices 00000-99999
Default 00005 (5 sec.)
Notes A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).
When selecting a baud rate of 2400 or below (Administration/
Communications/Serial/Baud Rate menu), increase the
emulation timeout value as follows:
Baud Rate Emulation Timeout (seconds)
2400 10*
1200 20
600 40
300 80
*A baud rate of 2400 works with a 5-second emulation timeout
value, but there is no margin for delays between characters.
