[. . . ] s Default Display Name ­ Displays the selected default printer display name. The default display name selection controls which value PrinterMap displays for the name of a managed printer. The possible values for default display names are System Name and Host Name. Host name refers to the IP host name of the printer ( typically administered via DNS). Menu Bar Items This section describes each main menu bar item on PrinterMap' Topology s window. File Configuration Selecting this menu item accesses the Configuration window. The following PrinterMap processes can be customized: Discovering, Reporting, handling Alarms, paths to Application executables, and Status polling interval. Refer to "Configuring PrinterMap" in Chapter 2 for more details. Exit Exits the program. No discover information is lost. Topology Discover Selecting this menu item causes PrinterMap to discover all network printers within the currently defined network discover parameters. This initiates discovery of new network printers added since the last discover process. The Discover process does NOT rediscover or refresh information for already discovered printers. PrinterMap User Guide 36 Refer to "Adding and Deleting Managed Printers" in Chapter 4 for more details. Order Icons PrinterMap supports two different sorting modes for printer icons in the Topology. The default behavior is sorting the printers based on the current selected attribute. Selecting this menu freezes the sort order on the current selected attribute. Selecting another attribute when the sort order is frozen updates the attribute information for printers in the Topology, but does NOT re-sort printers. This menu option provides the ability to add (or discover) a single printer to the Topology if its IP address or IPX address is known. Selecting this menu item accesses the Add Printer window. Add Printer Figure 20 Add Printer window To add a printer, select Topology > Add Printer from the main menu and enter the printer' IP or IPX address in the Add Printer text box. After selecting the OK s button, PrinterMap attempts discovering the printer at the specified address by issuing SNMP queries. If the printer is a responding printer, it is discovered and added to the PrinterMap topology. This window retains the last addresses entered. Update Selecting this menu choice accesses the Update Printer Information window. Three different PrinterMap updates types can be initiated from the Updated Printer information window: update printer configuration, update generic printers and update host names. The update process is useful following a PrinterMap upgrade installation or after one or more managed printers have additional paper trays configured. The update process converts any Generic printers added to the Mib. ini to the appropriate vendor type. PrinterMap User Guide 37 Figure 21 Update Printer Information window Update Printer Configuration Checking this box and continuing with the update causes PrinterMap to update configuration information for all managed printers. The number of paper trays a printer has is determined at the time the printer is discovered. From that point PrinterMap only maintains current paper levels for those trays.
