Re: Activation timer setting on 3812 Lexmark

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I had been waiting for a response from the guy who works on the Lexmark printers. While I was waiting, I received suggestions off-list. The one that >appeared< to make the difference was to change the driver from HPPJLDRV to IBMSNMPDRV. After limited tests, the change seems to be what I needed as the writer does not end, just due to printer time out. Probably should have looked at that after the issues I had with the Xerox swap-out.

Are your sleep timers turned on, on the printer.

We are on V5R4. There are a number of printers attached as 3812 devices.
None are AFP(*YES).

The writers end periodically. I have seen this happen due to jams as well
as out of paper. May be other issyes.

I thought I would look at the activation timer setting. One printer is set
to 170. Thought I might try increasing that value.

The help text states:

"Note: *NOMAX is valid only when DEVCLS(*LAN) and
AFP(*YES), or when are specified."

What does help state for current versions? Looks like something is missing
in that text, which I have checked twice for accuracy.

Is there any way I can keep the writer from ending when a printer is
ignored for an extended period of time?
