Fields
The Printer Control screen lets you configure the following information:
• Status Request Efficiency Mode Enabled (Y,N). This field
lets you turn on or off Status Request Efficiency Mode. If it is turned
off, the number of requests per write that the HP 3000 should send
to an I/O device must be specified. A number between 1 and 250
must be entered in the Frequency of Status Requests field.
• Wait time for reply to status request. This field lets you
configure the wait time for a status request reply. Immediately after
the timer expires, the connection is dropped, unless retries are also
specified. Enter a value between 5 and 180 seconds to specify the
amount time the driver will wait for a status request reply. You
should specify a time that is long enough for the status request reply
to return during peak periods of network traffic.
