Specifying the Interface and Network Settings using the Printer's Control Panel (Host Interface Menu)
In the Host Interface menu, you can make network settings and settings for the computer to printer USB connection (if used). Settings made using the Host Interface menu remain effective even if you turn the printer off.
To configure the printer's network settings, use “Network Setup” on the printer's control panel.
I/O Timeout
Specify how long the printer waits for the currently-connected interface to respond. When the specified time elapses, the printer can receive data from another interface.
If you make the I/O Timeout period too short, timeout might occur while data transfer is in progress. If this happens, the print job will be interrupted by a new job from another interface.
