When printing via a network connection the HDP5000 printer takes a long time to start printing after the print job has been sent to the printer. This is frequently noticeable when printing a PDF file.
Usually the time it takes for the printer to start printing can be reduced significantly by changing the communication mode to Half Duplex
To set the HDP5000 printer�s network communication to half duplex requires that Telnet be enabled on your PC.
The following steps show how to use Telnet to set the printer�s network communication to Half Duplex.
These steps were copied from a Windows XP system.
If you are using Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 10, your screen may look different, but the steps are similar.
