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 file 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 data
stream pauses for longer than the specified number of seconds, a
timeout error is generated, and the job is canceled.
■ 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
The CONFIG.PS file affects printer operation. If the printer is
shared on a network, using this file may affect the prints requested
from other users.
To change the timeout values, follow these steps:
1.
If necessary, configure the printer port to receive PostScript; see
page C-5 for instructions.
2.
Locate the CONFIG.PS file in the PHSR240 directory on the
Windows 3.1 Driver and Printer Utilities diskette.
3.
Open the CONFIG.PS file in a text editor.
4.
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 indefinitely.
