Epson C82314 - Manual (Page 43)

Because the printer is being shared between the parallel port and the
3270 host, careful attention should be paid to setting up the PC so
that jobs are not automatically terminated because the printer is. busy.
This problem may be helped by setting the PC timer “off by writing
"mode 1pt1:,,p" (in case of an LPT1 printer) in DOS.
Use of the DOS PRINT command or a spooling program for the PC is
recommended.
If your printer supports intelligent Emulation Switching (IES), make
sure your printer’s IES timeout period is less than the command 50
timeout setting.
EXAMPLE: &%Z50,10 Sets the time interval to 10 seconds
COMMAND 51: COAX PORT TIME OUT
