The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Device Timeout
The MS-DOS Editor did not receive information from a device
(such as the printer) within a predetermined amount of time.
If you are attempting to print a document, make sure the
printer is attached to the device LPT1.
