[biditimeout]
This section controls the bidi connection timeout values when attempting to open a
connection printer, and it also controls the timeout values for getting information from the
device as well as how long to wait before retrying again.
Key Name
Values Meaning
Timeout1 3000 Timeout value to wait before retrying the failed
bidi call, before trying the call again. On a failed
call, it will retry retry1 number of times before it
completely fails. Time specified is in
milliseconds.
Timeout2 3000 Timeout value to wait until repeating the first retry
loop. After the retry1 loop has completed without
response, it will retry retry2 number of times
before it completely fails. Time specified is in
milliseconds.
Retry1 1 Number of times to retry a bidi call in the event of
a failure, waiting timeout1 milliseconds before
retrying.
Retry2 1
Number of times to repeat the retry1 loop in the
event of a failure, before failing completely.
Waiting timeout2 milliseconds before repeating
the retry1 loop.
[bidilevel]
This section controls the bidi protocol level at which to perform queries on the device.
Key Name
Values Meaning
Bidilevel 1* Performs standard PML get requests from the
device.
2 Performs advanced PML multi-get requests from
the device. This value should only be used for
JetDirect cards that have a firmware version
higher than G.05.35. If the bidilevel is set to 2,
and the printer frequently errors out with the
error EIO 82.0180, then the bidilevel must be set
1. This bidilevel setting will help improve
response time, but due to bad firmware in the
JetDirect card it can cause errors in the printer.
* Default values after installation
