If a program or driver is 'disconnected' from the printer long enough for the AppleTalk option card to timeout, the rest of the print job may be lost.

How an application, or driver, is written is what determines whether it works correctly in all instances with networked printers.

Two ways to avoid having this happen:

- When using manual feed, don't wait for a page to finish before responding to screen prompts -- this will help you avoid AppleTalk option card timeouts.

- Use a cut-sheet feeder, which lets you use the paper you want without having to use manual feed with its attendant pauses.
