Flush Printing Options—Select Flush when End Of Job received or enter a value in Host print timeout for flushing.

  • Flush when End of Job received—Service will force the last page of the report to clear the printer. To print several reports together like on a line printer (where the beginning of a report prints on the same page as the end of a previous report), clear this option and specify a timeout for flushing the jobs.
  • Host print timeout for flushing (sec.):—When the Flush When End Of Job Received option is cleared, you must specify this timeout. The timeout is the amount of time (in seconds) that the system remains idle before forcing the last page of a report to clear the printer.
