    The value (15) for DISCINTV specifies the time in seconds after which PSF ends the printer session when no output is available. The valid range is from 0 to 8160 seconds. The default value is 0. If DISCINTV=0, the PSF does not end the printer session when no output is available.
  • Page 93 If the End-of-Job Timeout is greater than the DISCINTV value, errors are very likely to occur if the printer requires user intervention. If, on the other hand, the End-of-Job Timeout is smaller than the DISCINTV value, an error is certain to occur the first time the MarkNet card times out after a completed print job.

    Busy and displays IPDS even when no IPDS jobs are printing. Solution: The host still has control of the printer. You need to adjust the SCS adapter timeout, the end-of-job timeout on your network adapter, the printer IPDS Timeout value, the host port value, or the appropriate timer/timeout value on your IPDS host.
  • Page 116 You may set the MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe end-of-job-timeout to a value greater than the host timer/timeout value or printer IPDS Timeout value (when using MarkNet S only). Errors are very likely to occur when the printer requires user intervention and the intervention is not cleared before the end-of-job-timeout occurs.
  • Page 117 IPDS Timeout = Host Controlled (when using MarkNet S, MarkNet Pro, or MarkNet XLe) Note: The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100 or 9102. If you selected any other IPDS Timeout value, go to IPDS Timeout = 15 seconds to 10 minutes on page 118.

  • Page 124 Solution: The IPDS memory has been corrupted. Power the printer Off and then On. 12. Problem: The IPDS host stops when it attempts to connect to the printer when using the MarkNet XLe adapter. Solution: The MarkNet adapter is not establishing a bi-directional connection with the printer.
