Page Protection
You use Page Protection to avoid print overruns that
occur with very complicated pages. This feature
determines how much memory the printer dedicates to
the print buffer. Options are
The printer reserves enough memory so it can
On:
process an entire page before it prints it out. This
setting slows down the printer but reduces the
chance of a printer overrun error. The printer does
not begin to process the next page until the current
one is completed.
The printer analyzes each page to determine
Auto:
whether it should activate Page Protection. This
mode usually speeds printing but increases the
chance of a printer overrun error. This is the default
setting.
Set Wait Time
This setting defines the time that the printer waits
between blocks of data coming from the computer
before it processes what is in the print buffer. Options
are
15 seconds, 30 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds, 300
seconds, and Indefinite.
The Wait Time default is 30 seconds in the printer
operator panel menu tree and 120 seconds in the PCL
and PostScript printer drivers. For most text
applications this is adequate. If you plan on generating
very complex pages, you may want to select a longer
wait time.
1–12
User's Guide
An example of this is when the wait time is set to 120
seconds and the computer starts sending data to the
printer, but must stop to compile more data. If the
computer takes more than 120 seconds to compile the
data, the printer assumes that there is no more data for
the job and processes what is in its memory. In such a
case, a longer wait time would allow for completion of
the job. The Indefinite setting is available for the rare
cases when 300 seconds is not long enough for your
needs.
PostScript jobs take longer to send to the printer. In rare
cases, you may want to set the wait time to Indefinite,
but be sure to change the wait time back before sending
the next print job.
You can also use this setting to avoid errors on the 1765
network printer, which can receive data from multiple
ports. If information from other print jobs appears in the
middle of your print job, it may be coming from other
ports, and you should increase the wait time value.
note:
Caution must be exercised when selecting an
Indefinite wait time. If the job is not terminated with the
proper end of job command, the last page of data may
not be printed and will remain in the printer's memory.
Then you must print the page out by pressing the Feed
button on the printer operator panel.
