For example if the printer is printing a job from the serial port and then receives a second print job from the parallel port the data from the parallel port will trickle bit by bit into the printer buffer to prevent a timeout error from being sent back to the host connected to the parallel port The selected value is the time that the printer waits before getting the next byte of data from the host The Trickle Time value should be less than the host time out value but not too much shorter or else the printer fills up its buffer too fast This function is not applicable for C T hotport 85 Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE Timeout This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected port types for data to print When the printer has not received data from the host after a certain period of time it needs to timeout in order to service the other ports Report Status e Disable default When a fault occurs on the printer only the active port reports the fault to the host e Enable The port will report any fault even when it is not the current active port IEEE 1284 Parallel Bidirectional Submenu Factory Default IEEE 1284 from page 83 Prime Signal TOF Action Buffer Size in K Auto Trickle Trickle Time Offline Process Enable Disable Reset Do Nothing 16 1 16 Disable E
