IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide Printer and Host Timeout Values
7. Printer and Host Timeout Values
Selecting compatible values of the printer IPDS Timeout value and host release timers is very important when
printing IPDS jobs. Selection of some values will cause communication problems between the printer and the
host. Use the tables below to verify the timeout settings in the printer and on the host.
AS/400 or iSeries and Printer Timeout Values
Note 1: The number of seconds should be greater than or equal to 15 seconds.
Note 2: The Release Timer and IPDS Timeout value are not compatible. The printer will remain busy after the
IPDS job has completed. Jobs from other IPDS sessions and non-IPDS jobs waiting on other ports
will not print.
Note 3: These Release Timer values are not recommended when the IPDS Timeout is set to a specific value.
If used, the difference between the two timers should be a minimum of 30 seconds.
Note 4: An IPDS Timeout value of 15 sec or 30 sec is recommended. This allows 15 or 30 seconds for the
host to send another job before the printer times out and starts printing jobs waiting on other ports.
