Problem

Solutions: Customers using laser printers may experience timeout problems when using the HP or Adobe PostScript cartridges. Customers having timeout problems on any PostScript printer can send the TIMEOUT.PS file to the printer. This file can correct timeout problems on laser printers by changing the EPROM in the cartridge just as it does for PostScript printers. Create a DOS text file in a DOS text editor, WP 5.1 (save the file using Ctrl-F5, 1, 1), or WPWin (don't use the CUA keyboard while creating this file and save it as an ASCII file) named TIMEOUT.PS that includes the following commands (in all lowercase letters): serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin 0 60 0 setdefaulttimeouts end showpage ^D Send the file to the printer by typing COPY TIMEOUT.PS . You can also send the file to the printer by using a COPY CON command and typing the commands. If you use this method, you must press F6 or Ctrl-Z (^Z) after pressing Ctrl-D (^D) to end the file. The printer will eject a blank page if the file functioned properly. This file permanently changes the defaults and need only be sent to the printer once. Note: The 0 in the 0 exitserver command is the password. If the user has changed the password to something other than 0, that value should be on the line instead of 0. One customer had to send the following special TIMEOUT.PS file to an HP LaserJet IIISi PostScript printer to solve the problem: %!PS-Adobe serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin 0 60 0 setdefaulttimeouts end showpage ^D ^Z
