We're getting used to some new IBM 1145 Multifunction printers that we
recently installed and are noticing a delay after a job prints from an
AS/400 outq.  For around 40 seconds after the job prints, the printer
display shows 'busy network' and then goes back to ready status (and then
is available for a copy/fax/network job).  In the interest of reducing
contention for the printer,  i'm wanting to decrease the delay before the
next job will kick in.

I'm pretty sure the setting I need to adjust is the "inactivity timer"
setting on the printer device description (i'd like to set it to *SEC15,
which looks to be the minumum), but am not able to bring up this setting.
The device is configured as *IPDS instead of a 3812.  Is this not something
that can be adjusted when configured as *IPDS?

Thanks for any possible advice from someone who knows!
