Printer and Host Timeout Values

Selecting compatible values of the printer IPDS Timeout value and host release timers is very important when
printing IPDS jobs. Selection of some values will cause communication problems between the printer and the
host. Use the tables below to verify the timeout settings in the printer and on the host.

Note 1: The number of seconds should be greater than or equal to 15 seconds.
Note 2: This timer combination is not recommended. The printer will remain busy after the IPDS job has
completed. Jobs from other IPDS sessions and non-IPDS jobs waiting on other ports will not print.
Note 3: These timer combinations are not recommended. If used, the difference between the two timers
should be a minimum of 30 seconds.
Note 4: A printer IPDS Timeout value of 15 sec or 30 sec is recommended. This allows 15 or 30 seconds for
the host to send another job before the printer times out and starts printing jobs waiting on other ports.
