Other communications ports may include EPT: (an interface for the
IBM Page-Printer, which requires the installation of a special card in
your computer), and LPT1.OS2 and LPT2.OS2, which Windows may
require if you are using certain spoolers or other add-on software
programs. The port FILE: lets you write a PostScript document to a
file instead of to the printer. For more information about
communication ports, refer to your Windows documentation.

Set the Timeouts. These options regulate your computer's
communications with its printer ports.
Device Not Selected: (For parallel (LPT) ports only) Type a value of 0,
or between 15 and 999, in this text box to change the number of seconds
Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line. The
default is 15 seconds.
Transmission Retry: Type a value between 45 and 999 in this text box
to change the number of seconds Windows waits after a print job has
begun sending characters to the printer before sending an Alert
message that the printer is no longer accepting data. The default setting
is 45 seconds. When using the Print Manager with a shared printer, you
should set this option to a larger value, such as 600 (10 minutes) to
avoid the Alert message when printing multiple page documents.

This option affects the print time of bitmapped (raster) images by

and by improving the image processing time in the printer. This
option is only available to applications that use this Tektronix driver
with Tektronix PostScript Level 2 printers, such as the Phaser 480.
When this box is checked, the Compress Bitmaps option is
unavailable (grayed out). Choose the OK button to return to the
Options dialog box.
