Printer’s timeout
Note
This is the basic procedure for changing one of the printer’s
timeout values. For more information on the printer’s timeouts,
refer to the on-line manual on the printer’s CD-ROM.
You can use the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to change the PostScript and HP-GL job
and wait timeout values. When sent to the printer, your edited version of
the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle changes the values in the printer, but only while the
printer is turned on; if the printer is turned off or reset, the values return to
their defaults. To restore your desired timeout settings, you must send your
edited TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to the printer again.
Note
The TIMEOUTS.PS file affects printer operation. If the printer is
shared on a network, using this file may affect the prints requested
by other users.
1.
Follow the instructions beginning on page 3-1 to install drivers
and printer software.
2.
Locate the PHSRTOOL directory, created on your computerÕs hard
disk by the printerÕs installer. In the PHSRTOOL directory, locate
the PHSR360 subdirectory, and then locate the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle.
3.
Using a text editor, open the Þle. The default value is 40 seconds
for the wait timeout. Change the value in the WaitTimeOut line
to 999.
4.
Send the TIMEOUTS.PS Þle to the printer:
PC users: Use the DOS COPY command. (Windows 3.1 users can
also use the Copy command in the File Manager.)
Workstation users: Send the Þle to the printer as you would any
PostScript Þle.
