| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF milliseconds | 0x7D0 (2 seconds) |
Determines the rate at which the spooler sends data when the FastPrintSlowDownThreshold is reached. When this threshold is reached, the spooler sends one byte of data each time the interval specified by this entry expires. This prevents the printer from pausing because it hasn't received data for a specified period (typically 15 seconds for a PostScript printer). The spooler continues to send data at this rate until the value of FastPrintSlowDownTheshold is exceeded.
This entry is used when the Start printing immediately option is selected.
To change the value of this entry, right-click the printer in the Printers folder, and then select Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then select or clear the Start printing immediately radio button.
Note
Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
