46 Multi–Platform Interface Feature Operation Guide
Setting time outs on the Parallel Host
DOS
If you are using the printer attached to a
host PC system using the DOS operating
system, use the following configuration for
the retry value. The command MODE LPTn:
RETRY=P (issued from the command
prompt, or in a batch file) will set the parallel
port timeout to "infinite retry". DOS will
continue to try to print a file until it is
completed, or removed from the print queue
with a PRINT /T command.
OS/2
If you are using the interface attached to a
host PC system using the OS/2 operating
system, the retry value for the parallel port
must be set high enough to allow a host
print job to complete, plus the multiplexer
timeout value. This value is set in the
Parallel Port Setting - LPTn: screen.
