Search Group Window and Printer Discovery

Create a Multicast Search Group

Multicast uses the multicast address to send a discovery address to all Zebra printers across as many routers as the hop count specifies. A multicast search may return a large number of printers in some installations.

Note • On some routers, this feature may be disabled. See your network administrator to determine if a search failure was due to this feature being disabled.

The Multicast search requires you to type in the number of routers to hop.

To perform a Multicast search group:

1.In the Search Group window, right-click Searches.

2.Select New Search.

The New Search Group dialog box opens:

3.In the Search Group Name text box, type in the search name.

4.Enable the Multicast (Hops) option button.

5.Within the parentheses, in the Value field, type in the number of routers to hop.

6.Click Add.

7.Click OK.

The Task List dialog box shows the task progress.
