The printer polling rate and busytimeout time describe interactions between the LANcard and the Silentwriter. The status polling rate andresponse timeout describe interactions between theNEC 1765 software and the LAN card.Changing the Printer Busy Timeout TimeThe printer busy timeout time is how long the LAN cardwaits for information from the printer before setting theprinter status to Busy. The busy timeout time is definedin seconds. The default is 15 seconds and the range is 15to 255 seconds.Follow these steps to change the busy timeout time.1.
