OPTION ACCESSIBILITY: Through Port 1 with full menus, or through
any serial computer port with abbreviated menus.
By responding to the Enter Request: message at the end of the main
configuration menu (Section 7.1) with "7" (Set Input Inactivity Timeout),
you may set the disconnect timeout. The Model 24 will automatically
disconnect the computer and printer if no characters are received from
the computer for the specified timeout period. The Model 24 will
respond with:

Enter Computer Port Number (ENTER = Exit) :
Enter the number of the computer port for which you wish to set the
input inactivity timeout and then strike <ENTER>. For example, if you
entered "3" and <ENTER>, the Model 24 will respond with:
Input Inactivity Timeout is 20 second(s)
Enter New Value (0 to 200), or ENTER for no change :
Enter the number of timeout seconds that you wish from 0 to 200,
followed by <ENTER>.
NOTE: If 0 (zero) is entered, the input inactivity timeout will be
disabled, and the end of a print job will occur only when the computer
sends the Port Select Code followed by a printer port number.
CAUTION: Do not set the input inactivity timeout to zero seconds
when Port Select Mode B has been selected. Mode B recognizes the
end of a print job only by the input inactivity timeout. It does not
recognize the manual disconnect where the computer sends the Port
Select Code and a port number.
