Print pauses and restarts.

Hi everybody, 
i'm using repetier server 0.60.4 running on a raspberry pi with my K8200/3DRag and sometimes (with a completely random frequency) the print stops for about 30 seconds and restarts (sometimes it doesn't restart at all).
Here's the part of the log file where the problem happens:

I tried on different hardware (raspberry pi, banana pro) but the problem is still here.
What can i do?

thanks for the support.

    The problem is exactly what you see in log. The answers are incomplete so server does not know the command was executed. Then as a last resort the timeout catches the problem and continues sending the job. So best solution is making communication error free.

    Other things to reduce effects:
    - Make sure to use the largest possible buffer size. If you used latest Arduino IDE it is 127 byte.
    - Use firmware which sends line number with ok, this can catch 1-2 missed ok without any delay. From your log I see you are using Marlin. Latest development version of Marlin (not sure if it is also in latest stable) also has this feature if you do not want to switch to repetier-firmware.
    - Try different baud rate. Sometimes one baud rate causes more errors then others. One of 115200 and 250000 should do.

    Thank you for the answer, i tried the latest marlin version (i suppose) but i can't see the line number confirmation.
    Is there something i have to activate?

    Thank you

    I only saw it on the development tree so far and didn't need to activate it if I remember right.

    Changing the usb cable with a shorter one with a ferrite bead seems to have resolved (crossing fingers) all the problems.

    Thanks for the support.
