Host Initiated File Close String

The host can be configured to send a "file close" string with every print job to signal the end of an individual job ready to be sent to the printer. The "file close" value will be listed here. When the File Close String option is used, the trigger value that is received first – either the Timeout Value expiration or the Host Initiated File Close Value transmission – will designate when the print job is sent to the printer.

Timeout Value (in seconds)

The length of time (in seconds) that the printing environment will wait to see if the last piece of the data stream was the final data for the current print job before sending the data to the printer. When the timeout option is used, the trigger value that is received first – either the Print Job Timeout Value expiration or the Host Initiated File Close Value transmission – will designate when the print job is sent to the printer.
