Intervention Required; Ipds Timeout - Lexmark MX6500e 6500e User Manual

Additional memory above the total recommended may be required when receiving TrueType fonts,
DBCS fonts, complex mono or color IPDS jobs. See page 116 for information on the minimum total
recommended memory for each resolution setting.

3.3.15 Intervention Required

This option defines if the emulation should report Intervention Required messages to the host. Types of
Intervention Required messages include a paper jam, paper out, cover open or offline message. These
types of messages mean the printer is not ready to print.

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 ports 5001 or 9600 that 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.

Report Intervention Required messages to the host. This is the typical setting.
Do not report Intervention Required messages to the host. Used only in special
cases.
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 non-
IPDS 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.
