Communications

This menu contains several options that allow you to configure the 
printer's communication parameters to match the host and application 
parameters.

»

Note: This section contains information on Timeouts, Serial, Parallel and

Emulation menus. For information on printer-host communication using the

Ethernet interface or any options located under the Network 1 submenu

(the Network 1 menu appears only when an optional interface has been

installed), refer to chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” of the QMS

CrownNet Interface System Administrator’s Guide.

Setting Timeouts

The Timeouts options limit the amount of time the printer waits on 
transmission from the host for various types of data.

Setting a PostScript Emulation Timeout

The PostScript emulation timeout is the maximum number of seconds 
the PostScript emulation waits for incoming data.

Administration/Communications/Timeouts/PS Wait Timeout

00000-99999

00030 (30 sec.)

A value of 000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).

The job is closed and the next job in the queue begins if all of 
the following occur:

n

No additional data is received during the specified 
period of time.

n

The interface didn’t time out.

An EOD (end-of-document commands) was not seen.

When a print job is sent from a Macintosh, the PS Wait timeout 
is automatically changed to 00300 (5 min.).

Large print jobs, such as those generated by graphics or 
computer-aided design applications, require timeouts of 00300 
(5 min.).
