Include this code in your PostScript document to disable the timeout feature for the remainder of the job: 0 setjobtimeout Use the "setdefaulttimouts" operator to change it permanently. If you really want to change the communication parameters, the code below is what I use to change the baud rate or parity options on my LaserWriters. All of this information was gleaned from the appendix describing the Apple LaserWriter in the PostScript Language Reference Manual (the red book).
