Server Setup

SNMP Settings must be selected before Printgroove POD Queue can be
used. NIC Setup and PDF Profile settings are optional, based on the require-
ments of your reprographics department. Only an Administrator may set and
modify these settings.

3.5.1

SNMP Settings

Printgroove POD Queue allows you to specify both automatically discovered
IP Address ranges and manually added printers. The sub-sections that follow
provide setting instructions for all procedures related to Printgroove POD
Queue discovery. Please read this entire section before selecting any SNMP
settings.

Auto Discovery Mode

By default, the [SNMP Broadcast] radio button is selected. After an SNMP
Discovery Range is selected, Printgroove POD Queue will automatically dis-
cover printers when this method is selected. Some networks may restrict
broadcasts. If discovery fails when [SNMP Broadcast] is selected, change
the value to [TCP Socket Connection]. If this does not enable discovery,
change the value to [Off]. When [Off] is selected, all printers must be added
manually (please see “Manually Adding a Printer” on page 3-25 for details).

Note

For TCP Socket Connection Discovery to function, your network and in-
tended printer devices must allow traffic to and from TCP Port 7.

Set the Discovery Interval

The Discovery Interval is the time interval at which Printgroove POD Queue
will query the specified SNMP Discovery Ranges in an attempt to locate and
add new printers. The interval rate is set in minutes. The following values are
selectable from the drop-down menu: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. When Auto
Discovery Mode is set to [Off], the drop-down is grayed out and a value can-
not be selected. If this is the case, the Discovery Interval defaults to two min-
utes.

Force Immediate Discovery

There may be times when you need to force an immediate discovery rather
than wait for the next cycle to begin. If this is the case, use the following pro-
cedure:
