Timeouts
You can configure a number of printer timeout settings to set a limit to
the amount of time the printer waits to perform a certain task.
Setting an Emulation Timeout
The emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds emula-
tions other than PostScript (such as HP-GL, HP PCL 5, and Line-
printer) wait for incoming data.
Setting an ESP Timeout
The ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor) timeout is the maximum
number of seconds the printer uses to match an emulation before
Notes If you used the Administration/Engine/Inputbin x Name options
to change the names of the inputbins, these names replace
Multipurpose, Lower, and Optional in the message window.
Menu Administration/Communications/Timeouts/Emul Timeout
Choices 00000-99999
Default 00005 (5 sec.)
Notes A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).
When selecting a baud rate of 2400 or below (Administration/
Communications/Serial/Baud Rate menu), increase the
emulation timeout value as follows:
Baud Rate Emulation Timeout (seconds)
2400 10*
1200 20
600 40
300 80
*A baud rate of 2400 works with a 5-second emulation timeout
value, but there is no margin for delays between characters.
