Description
 
Port Enable
 
Off
 
On*
 
Activation of the serial port.
When 
 
On
 
, the serial port is enabled so that the printer 
can receive print jobs through it. 
The serial port becomes part of a port polling 
sequence that includes all enabled ports. See 
 
Appendix C: I/O Port Polling
 
 for information.
When 
 
Off
 
, the port is disabled so no communication 
occurs through this port with the host. If you are not 
using the serial port, you can set 
 
Port Enable
 
 
 
Off
 
.
 
Port Timeout
 
5-999 secs (
 
30*
 
)
Time interval for determining when to end an 
incomplete print job and poll the next port in the 
polling sequence.

works in conjunction with
 
 Auto Job 
End
 
 (page 3-47). 
See 
 
Appendix C: I/O Port Polling
 
 for more
