Printer Control
• Read retries for XON and status request reply. This field
lets you specify the number of status request retries made when the
wait timer expires. When the wait time for reply to status request
expires, the driver sends a message to the console and retries the
read for as many attempts as are specified in this field. When the
number of attempts is equal to this value, the printer input/output
(I/O) is aborted. Enter a value between 0 and 100 to specify the
number of read retries. If a value of 0 is entered, the printer I/O is
aborted as soon as the timer expires. No retries are attempted.
• Wait time for FOPEN before disconnect. This field lets you
specify the number of seconds the HP 3000 system should wait
before sending a disconnect request to the printer port. Enter a
value between 0 and 90 to specify the number of seconds to wait. If a
value of 0 is entered, the connection is dropped immediately after
the file is sent.
• Does the printer support duplex printing? This field
specifies if the printer will support duplex printing, which is the
ability to print on both the front and back sides of the printer paper.
The LaserJet 2D, LaserJet 3D, and LaserJet 3SI are examples of
three PCL (Printer Control Language) laser printers that support
duplex printing. Specify yes or no to duplex printing. Refer to
Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial
Devices for more information on duplex printing.
