Customizing polling cycles
OMPE monitors printers using polling mechanism. Polling in OMPE involves
three cycles: Health, Status SNMP, and Status HTTP.
•
Health poll - Printer parameters such as printer status, page count and
supply level are retrieved during Health poll. These parameters change
frequently and are important to determine printer readiness.
•
Status poll - Parameters such as tray status, network configuration and
printer settings are checked during status poll. These parameters do not
change frequently.
Using the Preferences feature, you can set the refresh interval
during which
OMPE polls the server, retrieves and displays printer information.
NOTE: The duration of polling cycle depends on the number of printers
that are managed by OMPE.
