Changing the timeout is done with the "setdefaulttimeouts" PostScript operator.
This operator establishes the default values, job, manual feed, and wait for
the three timeouts. At the beginning of each job, these values are used to
initialize the job, manual feed, and wait timeouts. Each parameter must be a
non-negative integer denoting the length of a timeout in seconds. The value of
0 indicates that the corresponding timeout should never occur. The default
values for job, manual feed, and wait are 0, 60, and 30, respectively. A
PostScript program, like the one that follows, can be sent to the printer to
change timeout values:
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin
# # # setdefaulttimeouts
end
where # # # should be replaced by the job, manual-feed, and wait-timeout values
in seconds. In your case, you want to change the manual-feed timeout to 120
seconds and keep the other values the same. You third line should look like
this:
0 120 30 setdefaulttimeouts
The PostScript program then can be downloaded to the printer using a download
utility, like Widgets, that comes with the CE Software DiskTop Utility. For
