User Manual
3. Getting Started
3.1.2 Column Customization
The size and order of the columns can be customized to fit your
needs. To change the size of a column, simply click and drag the
separator line between the column headers to a suitable position
and release the mouse button. The order of the columns can be
changed in the same way, simply click on a column header and
drag it to a suitable position and release the mouse button.
3.1.3 List Sorting
NetCenter adds new entries at the bottom of the displayed printer
list and thus the list is originally sorted by how fast each printer
responds. The sorting order can, however, be changed by clicking
on the column headers at the top of the list. The column is sorted
either by number or alphabetically, depending on column content.
The sorting order of the column changes for each click on the
column header, e.g. from ascending to descending and vice versa.
A small arrow is displayed in the column header to indicate the
current sorting order.
3.2 File Storage
The list of printers found is stored in a file called printerlist when
NetCenter exits. The printerlist file follows the XML v1.0 standard,
which makes it easy to import and use it in any third-party software
for displaying the list of Datamax-O’Neil printers found in your
network.
The next time NetCenter starts, the displayed list of printers will be
read from the printerlist file to be able to determine if a printer is
disconnected, that is, exists in the file but is currently not
responding. New printers added to the LAN will automatically be
detected and added to the displayed list, then stored among the
rest of the printers in the printerlist file when NetCenter exits.
The printerlist file is located in Isolated Storage in order to comply
with the new Microsoft guideline. This will also automatically grant
proper access rights to the file and make future NetCenter
upgrades very convenient. The path to the printerlist file depends
on the operating system used.
