Options for printers that support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection.
Not all IPDSprinters do, but most PostScript and PCL printers will. This protocol allows the
printers to communicate their status to the Print Manager.
All the SNMPsettings relate to SNMPconnection and re-connection attempts. They are:
l
Connection attempts entry: Defines the number of times the Print Manager will attempt
to connect to a printer before abandoning the attempt. This setting applies only when the
Print Manager is started.
l
Polling interval (secs) entry: Defines the polling interval in seconds.
This determines how often the PrintManager attempts to communicate with the printer,
and applies to all communications with the printer. It applies both to the initial Connect
attempts (setting the interval between those connection attempts) as well as how often
the printer is polled after a connection has been established.
Each time the printer is polled the printer status is updated in the "Printer Status pane" on
page570.
l
SNMPkeep retrying after timeout checkbox. Tick this if you would like to attempt to
reconnect to the printer if a connection fails (or times out). Once ticked, you can set the
retry interval amount.
l
Retry interval on Timeout (secs) entry:Enter the length of time between
connection retries. This interval period applies only to attempts at reconnecting to
printers.
