DEV Command
SUSPEND
causes the device to suspend printing of the job currently printing. The same
job resumes printing when the device is restarted with the START
subcommand.
TIMEOUT number-of-retries
specifies the number of times a print process retries a retryable I/O operation
that has failed. The value for number-of-retries can be either in the
range 1 through 32767, or equal to -1 (-1 means the print process retries a
retryable operation indefinitely). The default value is 360. See Table 4-5 for a
list of the retryable error numbers.
Use RESTART to specify the action to be taken for a nonretryable IO error.
Use RETRY and TIMEOUT to specify the action to be taken for a retryable IO
error.
An additional timeout device attribute is available that specifies the number of
seconds a FASTP print process waits before considering an I/O operation to be
a failure.
Instead of being configured with the Spoolcom DEV command, this device
attribute is read from a FASTCNFG print process configuration file. Refer to the
LAN Print Spooler Manual for information about:

Configuring a FASTCNFG file

Setting the Spoolcom DEV PARM value to make a FASTP print process
read the FASTCNFG file
The timeout device attribute is specified by the keyword TIMEOUT followed by
an equal sign (=) and a numeric value. The numeric value is the number of
seconds FASTP will wait before considering an I/O operation to the device a
failure. If the TIMEOUT attribute is omitted or if it has a value of 0, FASTP
waits indefinitely or until the I/O process for the device declares the operation a
failure.
The following FASTCNG keywords and keyword attributes are required when
you specify the TIMEOUT attribute:
DEVICE $spooler-device-name
CONTYPE = NONE
Examples of FASTCNFG file entries:
/* timeout = 120 seconds. */
DEVICE $DEV1
CONTYPE = NONE
TIMEOUT = 120
/* timeout = 0 seconds. */
DEVICE $Dev2
