    Default: 60 seconds

    • 15 sec.

    • 60 sec.

    • 300 sec.

  • Network

    Specifies how many seconds the machine waits for print data, if the data is interrupted while it is being sent from the computer via network. If the machine does not receive any more data within the time specified here, the machine only prints the data it has received. If printing is frequently interrupted by data from other ports, increase the timeout period.

    Default: 30 seconds

    • 5 to 60 seconds, in increments of 1 second

  • Fixed USB Port

      The same printer/LAN-Fax driver you have installed in your computer can be used with any machine other than the one originally used for installation, if the machine is of the same model.

    • Off

      You must install the printer/LAN-Fax driver separately for individual machines, because the machine other than the original will be recognized as a new device upon USB connection.
