Adjusting Polling Time

(NDS and Bindery Setups)

To set the poll time the Ethernet Interface will use when checking for new jobs under a PSERVER setup:

Netware 4.x and 5.x

1.Log in to Netware Administrator as a user with security equal to “Admin” on your Novell host.

2.Double click the printer object for which you wish to change the poll time. This will bring up the printer object detail pages.

3.Click “Configuration” to display the configuration page.

4.Change the “Service Interval” to the desired number (in seconds).

NOTE: You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms” to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the Ethernet Interface will need to poll the file server twice as much to get all the information it needs.

5.Repower the Ethernet Interface by turning the printer off and on to make the changes take effect.

Netware 3.x

1.Log in to PCONSOLE on your Novell host as supervisor.

2.Select “Print Server Information” from the main menu and press

ENTER.

3.Select the print server you have been using for your PSERVER setup and press ENTER. By default, this will be “P_xxxxxx” or “M_xxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” equals the last six digits of the print server’s Ethernet address found on the bottom of the device (e.g., “P_01001C” or “M_091C1A”).

4.Select “Print Server Configuration” from the menu that displays.

5.Select “Printer Configuration” from the next menu to display a list of configured printers.
