Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE
90
For example, if the printer is printing a job from the serial port, and
then receives a second print job from the parallel port, the data from
the parallel port will “trickle” bit by bit into the printer buffer to
prevent a timeout error from being sent back to the host connected
to the parallel port.
The selected value is the time that the printer waits before getting
the next byte of data from the host. The Trickle Time value should
be less than the host time out value, but not too much shorter or
else the printer fills up its buffer too fast. This function is not
applicable for C/T hotport.
Offline Process
• Disable (the default). When set to disable, the printer does not
process parallel/network data while offline.
• Enable. When set to enable, the printer continues to process
(but not print) the current network/parallel job while the printer
is offline until the printer's buffer is full.
