4.4 How to Define Timeouts
You can use timeouts to control how errors are handled before and
during a print job.
Printer connection
timeout
The 'Printer open timeout' parameter specifies the period of time (in
seconds) after which a connection attempt to the printer should be
aborted. It is advisable to abort a connection attempt if the printer
is not physically available for the TPG and the ThinPrint port is to be
freed for subsequent print jobs, for example.
Job sending timeout
The 'Job send timeout' parameter specifies the period of time (in
seconds) after which a current print job should be aborted. It is
advisable to abort a print job if the print job cannot be executed due
to a printer error (for example, no paper).
Both timeouts cause the print jobs to be deleted. In 'pure' ThinPrint
printing, an error message is also sent to the ThinPrint server. No
error message is sent to the ThinPrint server when printing takes
place via the Connection Service.
Port Defines the port number for RAW/socket printing.
(Default = 9100)
Is used when selecting 'RAW' as the transfer method.
URL Specifies the second part of the printer URL for IPP
printing. (Default = ipp/lp1)
Is used when selecting 'IPP' as the transfer method.
SSL Enables/disables the SSL/TLS encryption for IPP
printing.
Is used when selecting 'IPP' as the transfer method.
LPD Queue Defines the queue name for LPD printing. (Default = lp1)
Is used when selecting 'LPD' as the transfer method.
RFC Enables/disables the RFC1179 conformity for LPD
printing.
Is used when selecting 'LPD' as the transfer method. If
this option is disabled, the printing behavior resembles
that of Microsoft® LPD printing.
