Note: The HP-GL job timeout is the same as the PostScript job timeout.

---

• The Job Timeout is the amount of time any single job may be active before it must print.
  • In PostScript mode, if the value is exceeded, a timeout error is generated. Leave this value set to 0 (zero).

• The Wait Timeout is the amount of time in seconds that the printer waits for data to come from the computer during a job. If the data stream pauses for longer than the specified number of seconds, a timeout error is generated and the job is canceled.
  • In HP-GL mode, if the timeout value is too small, an image may be split across two pages; if the value is too large, multiple-page prints may be combined on one page.

Note: The TIMEOUTS.PS file affects printer operation. If the printer is shared on a network, using this file may affect the prints requested by other users.

1. Configure the printer's port to receive PostScript; see PostScript for instructions.

2. See Installing the files for instructions on installing the printer's utility files.

3. Locate the TIMEOUTS.PS file in the PHSR360 subdirectory inside the PHSRTOOL directory created on your hard disk by the printer's installer. Open the file in a text editor.

• 0 seconds for the job timeout

• 40 seconds for the wait timeout

• 60 seconds for the manual feed timeout.

• A timeout value of 0 indicates no timeout; the printer waits indefinitely.

1. To change TIMEOUTS.PS to specify different timeouts, substitute new values for the following lines.

   Time out	Permitted timeout values	Suggested timeout values
   JobTimeOut	0, or 15 to unlimited	0
   WaitTimeOut	0 to unlimited	1000 (To avoid timeouts or job cancellation on Windows multiple-page or multiple-copy print jobs, you may want to set the WaitTimeOut to a high value or to zero.)
   ManualFeedTimeout	0 to unlimited	300 (5 minutes should give you enough time to reach the printer and load media.)
   To specify no timeout	0

   Note: For timeout problems in Windows, also increase the Transmission Retry to 999.

2. Use one of the following methods to send the TIMEOUTS.PS file to the printer:
   • PC users: Use the DOS COPY command to send the file to the printer. See Downloading files from a PC if you need instructions.

   • Workstation users: Send the file to the printer as you would any PostScript file.
