The remaining items in this section describe the components of a printer

configuration. These items are used to build or modify a printer

configuration if those available above are not satisfactory.

42 — Printer Timing

The timing option is used to specify the relative speed at which the printer

can receive data. In general, laser printers should be set to fast, and dot

matrix printers should be set to slow. The printer configurations available

in flash memory specify the appropriate timing level for each printer.
To program this option:

!AGILE!42=00;

Very slow

!AGILE!42=01;

Slow

!AGILE!42=02;

Average

!AGILE!42=03;

Fast (default)

!AGILE!42=04;

Very fast

43 — Printer Error Timeout

Some printers do not send error information (e.g., out of paper, paper jam)

to the System. This is true of most Xerox printers. The 5250 ALLY,

however, recognizes when the printer is no longer accepting data, and it is

capable of alerting the System.
This feature determines the length of time that the 5250 ALLY will wait

after the printer is no longer accepting data before alerting the System

operator. Five seconds is suitable for most laser printers. The setting

should be increased if the System alerts the operator when no error has

actually occurred.
