Printer Search Status Help
The first time you click the
 Printer Neighborhood button in
CentreWare IS to access
Printer Neighborhood, the printer launches the
first printer search process to locate all of the printers on the network. The Printer
Search Status page displays showing the
Current Date and Time, when the
Last Search was performed, and the
Estimated Time for Completion. This page updates every
15 seconds until the search completes or you click
Stop
Printer List Update.
By default, the
Search Scope is set to perform a
Quick Phaser Search. You can modify the search parameters by editing these fields on the
Printer Search Scope page accessed from the
Preferences tab. For more information about printer search settings, see the
Printer Search Scope Help
page.
Once the printer search completes, the
Printer Neighborhood Status page displays.
Notes:
- This screen only displays the first time you enter
Printer Neighborhood or when the printer cache is empty.
- When
Quick Phaser Search is selected as the
Search Type Setting on the
Printer Search Scope page, the printer broadcasts a message to the network requesting other printers to respond and identify themselves. Information messages can be exchanged multiple times for each printer, causing greater network traffic. Due to the limitations of the network broadcast process, the printer search can reliably locate a maximum of
70 printers before the search can become unreliable.
