3.5.2 Timeout
The ida FS 250 enables printer sharing between the system and a PC. For
this purpose it is possible to specify a timeout period.
If the printer is receiving input on the parallel port, for example, and there is
a break in the transmission of data, the other input ports will not be polled for
the period speci fied.
The factory default timeout is 20 seconds. The timeout may be changed
to suit your requirements. This is done by sending a new setup to the ida FS
250 input port where you want it to take effect.
When specifying the timeout it is also possible to specify a user string. A
user string may be used for changing from one symbol set (e.g. Roman 8) to
another (e.g. IBM-PC8), for example.
NOTE:
Settings on the twinax input port are automatically reestablished after
another input port has been using the printer.
On the parallel and RS input port, you have to program the required
setup yourself.
For more detailed information on the commands required, see the chapter:
