Configuring Timeouts
The SNMP Get timeout value, which controls the length of time PSV will wait for a
response from the device before timing out can be adjusted. Keep in mind the
greater the SNMP Get timeout value, the longer the overall discovery will take.
The status icon timeout value sets the time interval that PSV waits for a response
from a device before turning the status icon gray (status icon is displayed in the
Printers List). Notice that after clicking
Refresh
, the status icons are returned to
an active state. Enter a desired value for each option and click
Save.
After the discovery process is complete, clicking the
Printers
button at the bottom
of the screen will display a list of the devices that were previously discovered with
refreshed status. Clicking the
Discovery
button takes you back to the main
discovery screen.
Making Discovery Easier: Importing IP Addresses from a text file
In large organizations, IT departments may keep track of the IP addresses of their
print and copy devices in a text file. If such a file exists, you can use P
SV’s

Import
”
feature to speed the discovery process. This is done by simply importing
the text file:
1.
From the main menu click
Printers
and select
Import Printers & Attributes
2.
Click
Browse
to locate the desired file. The text file should be formatted so
that one device address is on each line of the file. For more detailed
instructions click the
Instructions
button.

Select an appropriate group name from the
Printer Group
dropdown box (or
leave blank).
