cases. 3.3.16 IPDS Timeout This option is also referred to as the printer IPDS Timeout. It allows the printer IPDS emulation to determine when to timeout and allow printing of jobs waiting on other ports. The printer is capable of receiving jobs on multiple printer ports. These jobs may be non-IPDS jobs such as PCL and PostScript, or IPDS jobs from other hosts connected to port 5001that are assigned for printing IPDS. 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 with a waiting print job. Note: The host port is specified when configuring the printer parameters on the host. Refer to the IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide for more information on specifying the port and host timeout values. Host Controlled* 15 seconds 30 seconds 60 seconds 90 seconds 2 minutes 3 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes The printer IPDS Timeout is disabled and 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 all downloaded IPDS resources for that session will be deleted and the printer will be ready to 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 and allow nonIPDS jobs from other ports and IPDS jobs from other host connections to print. All IPDS resources downloaded to the printer will be deleted when the host disconnects. An infinite or large host timer/timeout value will cause the printer IPDS emulation to remain active and prevent printing of jobs from other ports. IPDS will remain on the printer operator panel even though the printer has completed processing and printing the IPDS job. Printer IPDS Timeout values. If the host does not send another IPDS job or send additional IPDS resource data to the printer, the printer IPDS emulation will time out according to the specified time, place all IPDS resources in temporary storage, and allow the printer to print jobs from other printer ports. Host Timer/Timeout Values and Actions: A printer IPDS Timeout value, should only be used if the host timer/timeout value is set to an infinite or a large value that prevents the host from disconnecting and subsequently prevents the printer from printing jobs from other ports. Important: The host timer/timeout value and the printer IPDS Timeout value must not be set to the same number of seconds. The difference in these values should always be 30 or more seconds in order to avoid communication errors. 24
