3.3.18 IPDS Timeout This option is also called the printer IPDS Timeout. It allows the host to directly control when an IPDS LAN session with a printer ends (disconnects), or allows the printer IPDS emulation to determine when to timeout and print jobs waiting on other ports. Notes: The Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION >IPDS Timeout value is only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the printer is LAN attached using the Standard Network port or the MarkNet internal print server. The Option Card Menu > IPDS MENU > EMULATION > IPDS Timeout value is not active when the printer is connected to a host through an Adapter for SCS card. The IPDS timeout is controlled by the Coax or Twinax timeout value on the Adapter for SCS card. The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports. While the printer is busy printing jobs from one printer port, jobs on other printer ports remain in a waiting status. When the host disconnects from the printer or when the printer IPDS emulation times out, the printer automatically switches to another printer port to start a new job. "Host Controlled" should be selected as the IPDS Timeout value when the host port value is 9100. The printer defaults to "Host Controlled" when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100. "Host Controlled" or a timeout value ("15 seconds" to "10 minutes") may be used when the host port value is 5001 or 9600. Note: The host port value is specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host. Refer to the IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide to determine the port values supported by your printer and valid host settings compatible with the printer IPDS Timeout values. Host Controlled* The printer IPDS emulation remains active until the host disconnects from the printer. Host timer/timeout values control when the host will disconnect. When the host disconnects, the printer will print jobs from other printer ports. Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions: The host timer/timeout value should be set to a small value (15 to 30 seconds) so the host will quickly disconnect after an IPDS job is printed. All IPDS resources downloaded to the printer will be deleted when the host disconnects. A disabled or large host timer/timeout value will cause the printer IPDS emulation to remain active. The BUSY message will remain on the printer operator panel even though the printer has completed processing and printing the IPDS job. 15 seconds 30 seconds 60 seconds 90 seconds 2 minutes 10 minutes IPDS emulation timeout values. These values are only used by the printer IPDS emulation when the host sends IPDS jobs on port 5001or 9600 to the Standard Network port or a MarkNet internal print server. If the host does not send another IPDS job or send additional IPDS resource data to the printer within the printer IPDS timeout value specified, the printer IPDS emulation will time out, place all IPDS resources in temporary storage (see Storage of IPDS Resources below), and allow the printer to print jobs from other printer ports. Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions: While the printer is printing jobs from other printer ports, the host is still connected to the printer. The host timer/timeout value must be disabled or set to a large value to prevent the host from disconnecting and deleting the resources downloaded to the printer. If the host timer/timeout value is not disabled or set to a very large value, communication errors may also occur. 29
